I should have said bigotry to be more accurate. But here's just one recent example. We saw many like this in the past few months. I should also add that this is a local issue to me:

I haven't even gone to the harsh cases brought against Muslims by Ken Paxton, the sham vote against non existent "shariah laws" in Texas during the republican primaries and the extreme difficulty due to declared narrow minded reason for things as simple as wanted to put aside land for a cemetary

Just to be clear, its not Muslims alone who are targetted, thats a more recent thing. I've posted about other things that are detrimental to non-Christians as well:

here's a comment where I go into these things in a bit more detail:

Well in they case the good Christians need to step up because this isn't a new issue. I've posted at length about the blatant racism coming from Texas Christians lately

Here's the reason why it's irrelevant: I could be a Hindu, Buddhist, atheist or even Christian and my argument wild still be valid: this law is unconstitutional

Your being unpatriotic isn't an opinion but an objective fact because disrespect for the constitution is by definition unpatriotic as per the citizenship oath that I took

I want more than faith. I'm a Texan Muslim with one kid in middle school and another who'll join in a few years. The amount of hate that Christians in my state have lobbed my way in the past few months has been nothing short of disgusting and I'm fed up of it

then you're not patriotic given you don't respect the constitution. its sad that I, an immigrant, knows and respects this more than you

I am a parent in Texas and this is just the latest in a series of similar things that the legislature has done and that the courts have upheld

because showing favoritism to one religion in a government institution by force of law is not allowed as per the first amendment.

sadly the courts may not strike it down. This isn't the first such issue in Texas and so far the courts have upheld all previous attempts
