The Twilight Zone:The Constitution of Afghanistan

Islamic tolerance? This is what U.S. children are dying for in Afghanistan. They are dying in the name of the Sacred Religion of Islam (see item 1 of the Preamble of the Afghan constitution below). 

As a Christian, how do you feel about that? 

The Ground Zero Protest against of the mosque was organized by Pamela Geller, a conservative blogger, and her group, "Stop the Islamicization of America". 

Are you not finding a discrepancy in the dialogue? Of course Muslims are building a mosque at Ground Zero. American children are dying for Sacred religion of Islam. How much more Islamicized does it get?

Can't get more tolerant that that! 

Just wondering........

Art. 1 of the Amendments of the Afghan Constitution:

The provisions of adherence to the fundamentals of the sacred religion of Islam and the regime of the Islamic Republic cannot be amended.
