Can you be a good Muslim and a good American

By: American Decency Staff

There are many Muslims in the US who are both good Muslims and good Americans. They “get it” when it comes to free speech and the separation of church and state. It doesn’t mean they don’t hate the Innocence of Muslims film and won’t protest against it in a similar way Christians protested against the Andrew Serrano photo “Piss Christ.” But it does mean that they have successfully assimilated and adopted the American reverence for freedom of thought and expression.

But for some Muslims activists who don’t “get it,” there is advocacy for international anti-blasphemy laws that would make our First Amendment a hollow shell.
