Chicago Bears' owners hold faith-based forum

Owners of the Chicago Bears hosted religious leaders and politicians Sunday at the team’s practice facility, where speakers lamented the “eroding freedom to speak in the language of faith in the public square.”

The Reclaiming Religious Liberty Leadership Summit included Roman Catholic, Muslim and Jewish speakers, an Air Force officer and two politicians (one Democrat, one Republican.)

      My thoughts, exactly………………This is going to become a huge issue as time goes on, recognizing Muslims at religius based forums. I say NO……………I don't want them. Their religion {?} deserves no credence in the USA. This is a situation waiting to explode.

    This reminds me of Chrislam. It is a a religion of combination of Christian and Islam. GOD will spew it out of HIS mouth. We have many churches in the USA with such anti-GOD beliefs. The Koran and the WORD OF GOD ON THE SAME PULPIT, Out Country has hit the bottom. right now Obama is trying to organize us a Crislam religion nation.
