That's a lot of dancing to avoid condemning hateful, repressive beliefs. We condemn hateful, racist bigots all the time. Rightfully so. Just because said hate is derived from religion does not excuse it from condemnation.

I guess I missed the dance party. All I see is the statement:

"Any US citizen may maintain their own practices just so long as those practices are compatible with US law."

Seems pretty simple and clear to me.
