How many times have you heard, "This can't happen in America?" We would do ourselves well by paying close attention to the lessons of history. I knew Japanese-American citizens were rounded up and placed in prison camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but what I didn't know was that military and civilian intelligence services had been surveilling Buddhist temples and creating files on Buddhist leaders for years before the war. The reason being that Buddhism was considered irreconcilable with American values and therefore a threat to America's safety and well-being. Is Christianity irreconcilable with today's American values on marriage, abortion, evolution, the concept of sin and that there is objective truth? Could we be considered a threat to America's well being? Ask the cake baker in Colorado.
