REX HARRIS, THE MAYOR OF LANCASTER, CA RECENTLY TOLD A GROUP OF CHRISTIAN MINISTERS, "WE'RE A GROWING CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY--AND DON'T LET ANYBODY SHY AWAY FROM THAT." 

THE COUNCIL IN AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS, FILED A FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, ALLEGING THAT THE MAYOR HAD VIOLATED THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF ALL NON-CHRISTIANS IN HIS MESSAGE.   ALSO THE ANTELOPE VALLEY HUMAN RELATIONS TASK FORCE LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION.  THEY SAY THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DEEM THIS A "HATE CRIME" OR "HATE INCIDENT" WHICH IS NOW A FEDERAL CRIME.  

IS THIS OPEN SEASON ON CHRISTIANS?  THE CONSTITUTION STATES: "CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF, OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH."

COULD A MINISTER BE ARRESTED FOR SERMONIZING AGAINST NON-CHRISTIANS OR HOMOSEXUALS?  THE ISSUE MAY BE DETERMINED IN COURT. 

IS CHRISTIANITY ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH THE "HATE CRIME" LAW?
