The Murfreesboro Mosque

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is taking the case of a Islamic Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, whose efforts to build a new mosque have been met with opposition, vandalism, and arson. As a Christian who believes in religious liberty, I find this attack on the Islamic Center reprehensible, and so I attached my name to a letter put out by the Becket Fund in support of the Islamic Center's right to build the mosque. Christians are often accused of being for religious liberty for ourselves but no one else. Unfortunately, sometimes the charge is true. I would encourage my fellow Christian believers to take seriously the idea of religious liberty and support the right of other religions to worship in peace without threat of violence or vandalism.
