Islam is covered by the First Amendment, until such time as the Supreme Court rules it is not or the First Amendment is repealed or amended.

Islam is no more or no less a "death cult" today than it was before the Cartoon Riots or 9/11.

Since those times a lot of Christians have read English translations of Koranic verses on the internet and taken them literally.

Agreed - Islam is covered today. My question - should not this question be reviewed by the Supreme Court (or Legislative Branch)? Why is a 'religion' (so-called) that calls for its adherents to kill those who leave its 'religion' and calls for the enslavement (dhimmi-ization) or death of those who don't join its gang, be protected by the First Amendment? I don't believe this level of protection was what the Founding Fathers had in mind when the Constitution was drafted.

Technically true. But as more and more islamists have begun to actually follow their 'scriptures' in the past decade - we would be burying our heads in the sand to ignore the present threat.

True again (three for three). We were 'blissfully ignorant' prior to 9/11. As a Christian we understand the importance to read, study, understand (as best as we are able) and follow the inspired Word of God (the Bible). Recognizing now that Islam is based on writings that can only be described as 'satanic' in their inspiration (as evidenced by their actual testimonies) we should not walk around in a pre 9/11 haze and pretend that 'islam means peace'. Islam means death and destruction, and for a Western Republic - founded on the Bible - to believe it can peacefully coexist with islam is delusional.
We should pray for those shackled to the islamic creed - but lying to them that their's is 'The Religion of Peace' does no one good. Not us, not them.

Ask Christians in Islamic countries how "literally" rank-and-file Muslims take the Koran.

There is a Christian named Rahman in Afghanistan who can enlighten you on your foolishness. Ask him while he still has a head.

And while you're thinking through your answer, name even ONE country with a Muslim majority that does not severely restrict the civil rights of non-Muslims living there.

The proof is in the practice. Muslims emigrate to the west. Christians do not emigrate to Islamic countries. There is a reason for that, and it isn't because Islam and Christianity are morally equivalent in the way you suggest they are.

Muslims don't even have to be a majority in a country to "take over." There are Islamic enclaves in Europe already effectively under Sharia law. For all intents and purposes, they are Muslim colonies where western law is rapidly being undermined, dangerous places that the police stay out of.

Canada is struggling with similar threats, as is Australia.

It will happen here in the US sooner rather than later. Keep an eye on Detroit.
