21st Century McCarthyism

We just interviewed Bryan Fischer — the director of issues analysis for the American Family Association who argues that the U.S. should have “no more mosques, period” — and he takes things a step further into the anti-Islam abyss: “Every single mosque is a potential terror training center or recruitment center for jihad” so “you cannot claim first amendment protections if your religious organization is engaged in subversive activities.”
