At a deeper level, the question still remains..."what do you do with a religion that (in and of itself) inherently violates and teaches it adherents to violate the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
How so? Do you really believe that *most* muslims are jihadists? Most American muslims?
You are of course correct Dark Skies but I would ask you and ALL our fellow freepers to STOP using the term "religion" when speaking of the skunk anus maggot hate cult called Is-SLIME. We, for very good reason, do not call the KKK a religion. To do so would allow those sympathetic to the idiots in the KKK to cloak themselves in 1st Amendment protection.
If we keep allowing the MSM, demon-rats, and mudslime apologist to frame the debate by calling this insanity a religion we have lost the battle before the first shot is fired.
There is a word too many choose to ignore: SEDITION.
Islam plainly, and openly, declares that it supersedes all government authority and recognizes no laws other than its own. It also seeks the overthrow of all authority other than Islam and the submission of all to its laws.
If that isn't seditious I don't know what is.
It's the term 'religion' that Islam is erroneously protected by in the Constitution. IT may call itself that-but we do not have to agree-especially considering what it is on paper-vs- what it really is.
Refuse to recognize it as a 'religion' and it becomes just another cult of destructive ideas and people.
The Constitution is being threatened BY Islam alright, but not in making Islam illegal. It is threatened by allowing Islam- which by its doctrine CANNOT and WILL NOT be subject to the Constitution- to exist in this country as anything other than a seditious,violent,dangerous cult.
How long its been around doesn't matter. Age should not protect it, nor should semantics.
Let me strengthen your well-put question:
What do you do with the religion that seeks to destroy the Constitution and its adherents?
