“I think the Moslem faith teaches hate. I think there’s clear evidence that the Islam [sic] religion, wherever it has majority control–and I can name a dozen countries–doesn’t even allow people of other faiths to express themselves or evangelize or to exist in their presence….I think that when persons are clearly bigoted towards other persons in the human family, they should be disqualified from funds.

“The decline in American pride, patriotism, and piety can be directly attributed to the extensive reading of so-called ‘science fiction’ by our young people.

–Jerry Falwell, “Can Our Young People Find God in the Pages of Trashy Magazines? No, Of Course Not!” Reader’s Digest, Aug. 1985: p142-157
