To be honest, I’m not a fan of islam, however, it is dangerous to give the Federal Government more power to ban a religion.

It’s hazardous to give the Feds used toilet paper or anything of more value.

Alas . . . there aren’t a lot of attractive options.

It's amazing and frightening how quickly conservatives will clamor for more restrictions and more government intrusion into our lives just because they disagree with others.

As I have said, the beliefs of the mohammedans are vile, but if you just glance to the left, you'll find many who believe Christianity is the same as mohammedanism. There are those who would enjoy seeing the head of the Catholic church cast in chains and dragged to the gibbet, give them power and no one is safe.

Get the ball rolling and it WILL NOT STOP.

Think people, use your reason and think! How many things in the constitution are used exclusively as intended and never abused or misinterpreted? You're falling into the trap of giving more power to your masters when he already holds you by the throat.

This is certainly a double-edged scimitar. Capriciously banning a religion is a *bad* idea - but it would certainly be wise to have have a means of dealing with any so-called "religion" which has the ultimate goal of taking on the role of secular government. No organization with that goal should be able to hide behind the First Amendment.

If we welcome Islam to the extent that Muslims wish us to, eventually there will be no recognized Constitution for us to argue about.
