The Oppressed Becomes the Oppressor

I know a lot of people are "up in arms" (including myself) regarding the gathering of Muslims on the Capitol steps next week. But we have to ask ourselves, "How did America get to this point?" My husband remembers during the Reagan administration when the armed services first started acknowledging other groups to make accommodations for their religious rights. There weren't any mosques, so they played the call to prayer over the base loud speakers. Even at that time, it created uneasiness among fellow Americans both on and off base.

That is their right, their freedom to assemble just as it is ours. As a Christian, I have to ask myself, "Why don't I exemplify a loyalty for my God, the God of the Bible, the God of Israel with such fervency and passion as they do to a god they cannot know on a personal level?"
