I do not think the Founders of our United States had a clue as to how dangerous this religion is and can be inside our borders.

The Founding Fathers, having come from Western Europe, that had been at war with the Islamic empire for over a millennia, understood the danger of Islam. They just probably had no idea that their descendent would be so stupid, and careless, to invite, or to willingly allow, this plague into our shores. They saw no need to spell out in the First Amendment that 'Freedom of Religion' did not cover the death cult called Islam. They were more interested in not getting a State Church, like the Church of England, created that would get shoved down independent and Congregational Christian's throats.

Good points.

The First Amendment doesn’t so much confer freedom on all religious expression as it does restrict the then new federal government from establishing or restricting religious freedom.

Because of the supremacy clause, this restriction on federal government is also placed on state governments.

But certain ‘religions’ can be restricted by judicial action when the impact of such outlaw religions cross the line of law.

John Quincy Adams:

"In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus."
