Andrea Lafferty, president of Traditional Values Coalition, responded to CAIR’s attack on Gingrich saying,
“What CAIR fails to mention in their cries for religious freedom is the utter lack of reciprocation sharia law shows for its victims. It does not respect all humans equally, it favors men over women, [and] it’s abusive towards religious minorities [and] people who choose to leave Islam.
“They persecute you if you are Christian; service people aren’t allowed to have Bibles and wear crosses and that kind of thing when they’re over there, let alone citizens in Saudi Arabia. And in Egypt, [Nigeria, and Sudan,] Christians are being killed.”
