Being muslim critical does not equal being a muslim hater.
Just like being israel critical does not equal being an anti-semite.

Yes as the wonderful Mr Carlin said:
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

However, they viewed it as a prerequisite that only a specifically Christian people can maintain the Liberty the Constitution was designed to protect. They allowed for each person the freedom of conscience so it was never thought of to be against atheists or people from other faiths as long as teh majority of the populace shared a Christian social and personal ethic.
I strongly disagree with this opinion (and think it is in fact christian propaganda).
I realise this is not the place to do it (as it may detract from the thread) but there are a great many autheticated quotes and references that should not exist if your opinion were true.
If you want to start a new thread to discuss it then please do.
