President Obama
visited a mosque in Baltimore today, a historical first for a sitting
president. Religious freedom as a
conservative circle talking point is often drenched in Christian supremacy akin
to the assumed station of white supremacy dressed in a naked emperor’s clothing. Obama was a man clothed in not only the right
side of history today, tailored in empathy, love, and interconnection, but the
stitching of pragmatism to the benefit of the citizens of this country. The greatest ally seekers of religious
freedom can have is a peaceful environment where all religions are free to
worship in a respectful manner and continue to enjoy the tax benefits afforded
by the American people to subsidize their faith. The greatest allies Americans can have
against militant terrorist individuals and groups claiming to represent Islam
are the millions of peaceful practicing Muslims across America and the globe. This is leadership.
