Is Jihad Free Speech?

God forbid you pray in the name of Jesus before opening up a townhall meeting! That would be, in the eyes of the left, violating the Constitution. But what about supporting jihad against the U.S.? Well, according to some on the left that would be protected as a form of religious free speech and a constitutional right.

Democratic strategist and former Michael Dukakis campaign manager Susan Estrich, and the former American Civil Liberties Union president in Massachusetts, Harvey Silvergate, recently joined the attorneys representing two alleged Boston al Qaeda funders. [….]

…the suspects’ attorneys also argue that such charitable giving, to support the jihad and mujahideen, is rightfully tax-exempt under U.S. constitutional protection of religious freedom. Moreover, they compare their support of Islam’s “holy war” to the Jewish National Fund (JNF) appeals for tax-deductible “donations to finance the purchase of bulletproof vests, helmets and firetrucks in connection with the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.”

How far can the Constitution be twisted folks?

AJ Strata:

Want Dems in charge of Congress next year? Thinking of sitting out this elections because your conservative wish-list was not fulfilled? Thinking of just walking away from the political process? Well it could be a dangerous idea. We know the Dems want to surrender Iraq to Al Qaeda, tear down our most successful defensive monitoring efforts, and supply lawyers to terrorists now in jail. But did anyone think the Dems would find Jihad to be a religous form of free speech and a constitutional right?
