"Not all Moslems espouse the ideology of the Islamists like al Qaeda. Again, if religious freedom means anything, it is that people are free to practice their religion so long as it does not harm others. If individuals are engaged in fomenting or preparing violent acts of terrorism, then by all means, throw the book at them. Proscribing an entire religion is not narrowly-tailored."
Except that their religion requires them to harm infidels, ie: all people that don't practice Islam and wont convert are to be killed. That would be me.
The first amendment doesn't authorize anybody to kill fellow citizens in the name of God. Any religion that commands it should be banned, and anybody that practices it should be expelled.
Not all Moslems interpret their relgion that way, and if they do not implement violent jihad, then I don't see any grounds to prohibit an entire religion.
The first amendment doesn't authorize anybody to kill fellow citizens in the name of God. Any religion that commands it should be banned, and anybody that practices it should be expelled.
Who ever said the First Amendment authorizes murder? I certainly never said that. If someone is committing a crime by inciting or practicing violent activity against others, then criminal charges hould ensue. The First Amendment allows free exercise of religion so long as no one else is harmed. I think it ridiculous to bar islam tout court rather than outlawing criminal and harmfule activities in a narrowly-tailored way. You are undermining religious freedom and the First Amendment, and believe me, the Left will be gunning for the Christians next once the First Amendment restrictions are gotten rid of.
