Treason?

"President Obama's new "religious tolerance" consultant to the Pentagon, Mikey Weinstein, wants Christian military service members who openly talk about their faith in uniform to be charged with treason, which is a crime punishable by death according to military law."

An interesting issue this article shines light on is a growing fear of religious extremism and religious groups. With a rise in violence in the Middle East there has arisen a violent and bloody face to religious extremism. The aftermath of 9/11 and Iraq and Afghanistan war has lead many Americans to the perception that Islam is a dangerous religion, whether a person associated with it is extremist or not. Today, this view isn't being confined just to Muslims. America is entering a stage where there is fear and anger against all forms of potential religious extremism and their associates. For example, the Southern Baptist church has been gaining a rep. for doing incredulous things like protesting the Newton funeral. Now, fear and anger isn't being applied to just this group but to all of Christianity. Religion in general is starting to be viewed as dangerous and inevitably extreme. This particular viewed is exemplified by Mr. Weinstein.
