1. They are certainly adept at ignoring foundational documents...
Such as the Constitution of the United States of America, Article 6, sec. 3, to wit:

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

3. Ah, but you see
that was written when Muslims were still called Mussalmans and Saracens, and they were all still "over there."

4. Although...
"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination."
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom

"But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

6. They also flat-out lie.
The article states: The President's celebration of Islamic Iftaars (Ramadan feasts) complete with Muslim prayers, and now, the Hindu prayers and lighting of the Diwali Lamp, stand in stark contrast to his snub of Christian leaders and break with White House tradition on the National Day of Prayer last May, and serves to amplify his oft-stated belief that "America is no longer a Christian nation..." (see Hindu Prayers, White House Blog, Remarks, Video).

I've searched the White House blog and he never says any such thing at the _Diwali event_ or any other time. The President speaks inclusively of all faiths a number of times, but never does he say "America is no longer a Christian nation."

The FRC has taken his inclusive embrace of all faiths as a legitimate part of America, twisted it to suit their own ends, and put quotation marks around it as though he spoke the words they try to attribute to him. They are liars and deceivers, and thus, by their own definition, "satanic."

9. Like the Indians, they will have to
wait until our Government gives them citizenship. Until then they are not Americans.
