Pat Robertson’s “answer” to the ACLU is leading the fight to keep a Muslim YMCA (NOT a mosque) from locating near the site of the 9/11 tragedy. Curiously, the ACLJ and ADL are contradicting themselves to do so:
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the legal advocacy group leading the charge, has argued repeatedly and forcefully in federal court on at least three occasions that local land-use laws like historical landmark designations don’t trump the religious and property rights of religious groups to build houses of worship. So has the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which controversially came out in opposition to the mosque last week. The group has filed no less than five amicus briefs in federal court arguing that local governments can’t use zoning laws to prevent the building of churches and synagogues.
The ACLJ is dedicated to culture war, not just in America but overseas:
The ACLJ is characterized by a yearning for apocalyptic confrontation. The ‘A’ should stand for authoritarian.
