[John O]

Declaring a system of belief illegal, and restricting the freedom of conscience of American citizens to adhere to those beliefs, is incompatible with American life and values.

Classical satanism, the mayan and aztec religions, and several other religions that rely on human sacrifice as part of their worship are illegal in this country. Even some American Indian religions have been classified as illegal. We don't cotton well to killing people to please your god.

Moslems kill because the koran COMMANDS them to kill. Fighting against, killing, and or enslaving non-believers is an inseparable part of islam. It is the central facet of jihad and it is commanded of every moslem.

We do not accept human sacrifice as being a valid form of religious worship in this country. Therefore islam is not a valid religion in this country.

It's really not that hard to understand if you are not a moslem and understand the American ideal.

Satanism is not illegal, neither is any other religious or political belief. Peyote eating religion has not been “classified as illegal” just the actual eating of peyote.

You seem to want to give the government a lot of power.

Neither you nor the government has the power, or should have the power, to decide what is a “valid religion”.

Please re-read what Thomas Jefferson said about religious freedom. Do you think he was ignorant, or mistaken?
