"t the very least the IRS should revoke the tax exempt status of the Muslim "church." Once the IRS no longer recognizes Islam as a "religion," the Fed can go after these perps of hatred as a terrorist organization."

The day the government gets to pick and choose what constitutes a religion is the day I move to Mexico. For folks who care a great deal about the 2nd amendment, I see a lot of posts which look the other way when it comes to the 1st: "Cngress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This was the very first sentence of the bill of rights, and you'd take it away that easily? I see a lot of posts which demand protection of Christian rights, and that first sentence does that.

Sorry, Mudblood, but the USA has been picking and choosing what constitutes a religion for decades. In the 90's the IRS decided that Scientology was a bona fide religion by granting the Scientologists tax exempt status - after years in which the Fed denied Scientology was a religion. As a case in point, the Church of Satan is not deemed worthy of tax exemption/religious recognition by the Fed while Santeria is recognized and exempt. I worked for years as a Congressional liaison to the IRS specializing in tax exempt organizations, including churches/religions -and this picking and choosing ain't news.

You can practice whatever "religion" you want, but that doesn't mean the USA is going to recognize what you practice as being a "true" religion by granting it tax exempt status. In the matter of Islam, the case is made by the Muslims themselves as to their collective "religious nature."
