“Not just no, but hell no. You can’t sacrifice liberty to preserve America. It’s an oxymoron. One cannot exist without the other. Should this boneheaded Amendment pass, we’d cease being American at that very moment.”
Short, but succinct, rebuttal:
“The Constitution is not a suicide pact”
(I don’t recall the name of the U.S. Supreme Court Justice who wrote this, but one in fact did).
The proposed amendment is too long and too wordy to be worth consideration. It would never pass.
I would directly re-write the First Amendment, inserting language that the followers of Muhammed were not recognized as deserving of its protections.
Yes, I WOULD do that. And I would have NO fear for the future of the country.
So long as the existing First Amendment provides cover for Islam to destroy us from within, I DO fear for the future of this country.
I realize your opinion may be different from mine.

I know it’s wiki, but there are some interesting points.
I’m just glad we don’t let people like yourself rewrite the constitution based on your whims. Whew!
