Letter: Obama and religious tolerance

President Obama’s recent statement that “people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government” is false and contradictory.

Not long ago, Obama demanded that Georgetown University cover up the “IHS” monogram representing Jesus’ name above the president’s head during his speech at the Jesuit university.

He is on record as saying that Christian America is “no longer just a Christian nation” despite the fact that America was founded on Christian principles.

Clearly, the President has a Christian bias that will eventually end up destroying America if the people continue to support him and his radical antilife social policies that include the advancement of abortion, homosexuality and embryonic stem cell research.

Despite appearances to the contrary, President Obama does not believe in religious tolerance.

His support for a mosque at Ground Zero in New York under the banners of “pluralism” and “equality” is merely a ruse to draw Americans away from their Christian roots so that he can further his militant desire to remake America into a socialist nation — a nation where all religion is ultimately suppressed.
