“Upholding the Constitution’s religious liberty protections, which also safeguard our own faith, precludes the government targeting Islam for legal discrimination… But insisting on that freedom of conscience does not mean leveling all religions or pretending there is no conflict of belief between Christianity and Islam….It’s not “Christian nationalism” to recognize that fact.” - CToday

“To some extent, this controversy and consequent overture may seem a bit too ‘inside baseball’ to warrant outside attention.
