As I understand it, if it is determined that Islam is NOT a religion, they can revoke the tax exempt status based on administrative concerns which is not unconstitutional.

James Madison wrote, "Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?" Well the same authority that decides Islam is not a religion could just as easily decide the same about Catholics or Baptists or Jews. Your idea is a very slippery path that is not worth going down.

Thank you.

But I am under the impression that radical Islam is a fundamental danger to the United States that must be contained. Islam and its teachings are simply not in accordance with the underlying morals, laws and traditions of this country.

We have let an enemy within our gates.

What you say is true ... and you would see it to be true, because I have no doubt ALL OTHER RELIGIONS would jump in on the side of Islam, in regards to denying it is a religion for any purpose at all ... BECAUSE ... all other religions would face the same threat.

This won’t fly for just that reason alone.
