Oh, and by the way, islam has been declared to be NOT under the purview of the First Ammendment of the Constitution by a Supremem Court ruling since 1892.
You've got to be kidding me. It's bad enough that people take dicta from the Holy Trinity case out of context and say that the Supreme Court declared America to be a "Christian Nation". Even David Barton has renounced that claim.

Now you're saying that it meant the First Amendment didn't apply to non-Christian faiths? Are you including Judaism too?

I'm not saying or including anything. I'm merely telling you what already IS. NYSSC, 1892. Immigration issue. Ruling on the meaning of "religion" in the First Ammendment. Look it up yourself.
