Religious Freedom Victory in Murfreesboro
The constitutional right to the free exercise of religion is everyone's right. Everyone includes our Muslim fellow citizens. They, like everyone else, have the right to build houses of worship and worship in peace and security. Today, this right was re-affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, on whose board and executive committee I am proud to serve, represented Muslims seeking to worship in the town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We prevailed--"we" in the sense of the Becket Fund and our clients, and "we" in the sense of all friends of religious freedom. If anyone's rights are left unprotected, no one's rights are secure.
