“DO you keep the same view of the 1st amendment (which is what I’m talking about, not islam), or does your view of the 1st amendment change depending on what candidate you want to attack, or what religion someone is following?”
A lot of us here don’t look at Islam as being protected by the First Amendment. For example, in parts of London they have set up a complete legal system and basically control access (pretty much preventing anyone employed by the government from entering), along with a dress code for women...enforced through their courts. And they are beginning those steps here, such as in Dearborn.
So, no, Islam is a political system and the First Amendment has nothing to do with it.
...but you are welcome to try to convince us that it’s just a bunch of people bowing down 5 times a day and nothing more...if that’s what Perry needs out of you. You just won’t find too many takers here...we are FAR, FAR too well-informed for that.
Perry isn’t even my candidate, and I haven’t changed my views on islam.
Which candidate running for President agrees with your opinion that Islam isn’t protected by the 1st amendment?
Islamic law as a political system doesn’t fall under the 1st amendment. That doesn’t mean the religion of islam doesn’t fall under the 1st amendment.
The jewish faith is also a religion that included an entire political system; the political system of the old testament wouldn’t fall under the 1st amendment if someone tried to institute it today in this country, but the jewish faith itself would still be protected.
So, I wonder under what law his opponents think Perry would have had the right, as governor, to prevent the building of an islamic center.
