‘BAN MOSQUES!’ ‘ISLAM WORSE THAN NAZISM?’ Indiana Lt Beckwith Wages War On Muslims; STUNS America

Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith has ignited fresh controversy after declaring that he wants to ban mosques in America from broadcasting the Islamic call to prayer through loudspeakers. Beckwith also described Islam as "worse than Nazism" and claimed the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Christianity takes precedence over other faiths. Civil rights groups and constitutional law experts have strongly disputed those claims, arguing that the First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion and that the Supreme Court made no such ruling. The debate has intensified over religious liberty, free speech, and the limits of government authority.
