Our government not only has diplomatic relations, but is allies with, numerous countries which are Islamic majorities by design (Saudi Arabia chief among them).
Are we going to engage in a holy war against Islam? If so, which sect: Shia, Sunni, or does it not matter?
For that matter, which religion would we be crusading on behalf of? The Catholics? The Orthodox? The Protestants? The Jews? Or just non-Muslims in general?
Because in that case, we have Muslims here at home who might have a word with you about that...and then the strength of our “freedom of religion” would truly be put to the test.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe Islam professes evil doctrine and evil morals; however, when our country — as a foundational Constitutional principle — does not differentiate between one religion or another (in fact, religious tests are forbidden outright by Article 6), how is it in the country’s national interest to be in a state of war against the adherents of one *specific* religion without coming across as incoherent?
My opinion Islamic Cult is from our perspective all the same, all evil. You may suggest the different sects are different but the core is still medieval violent and unredeemable.
