3-19-14-Catholic League Releases Statement Supporting Held & Hines' Pursuit of Justice for Clients' Constitutional Right


<< Back to Articles
	Catholic League's Statement "On August 26, 2010, I led a rally of over 3,000 people in the street across from the Empire State Building to protest Anthony Malkin’s (the principal owner) refusal to light the towers blue and white on the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birthday. He had no problem honoring the anniversary of the Communist Chinese government, even though Mao and his minions murdered 77 million innocent men, women, and children, but he could not stomach any recognition of Mother Teresa. Now he is bullying Muslims. Muslims who pray in public, including in public accommodations, are simply exercising their constitutional rights. In play are two First Amendment rights: freedom of speech and freedom of religion. We hope that (Phil) Hines investigates the extent to which security guards are expected to censor religious speech. We wish him, and this innocent Muslim couple, well."
