You do understand that Islam is a THEOCRACY that seeks to undermine and replace governments around the world don't you?

Well of course I do. Don't talk down to me as if I were a child.

Or is that something you have not developed an understanding of yet?

And do you understand - THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT TO BE DISCARDED SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU FIND IT INCONVENIENT?

You either adhere to it...TOTALLY, or it becomes meaningless.

[Travis McGee]

You sound exactly like the elders on Chatham Island, who said we must adhere to Nunuku's Law, even if it means the Maori cannibals will slaughter us.

[Travis McGee]

From “Moriori”, by Denise Davis and Māui Solomon, in Te Ara, the Encyclopedia of New Zealand:

Hundreds of years ago the Moriori, of the Chatham Islands, took a solemn vow of peace known as Nunuku”s Law. The decision to uphold this sacred law in the face of aggression in 1835 had tragic consequences. They were slaughtered, enslaved, and dispossessed of their lands. The Moriori lived on Chatham Island and Pitt Island, two islands in the Chatham Islands group, about 700 kilometers south-east of Wellington.

I was doing no such thing. I approached you from the position of perhaps you not knowing. But since you've obviously been offended by that approach I suggest you stop demonstrating that you think and post like a child.

And do you understand - THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT TO BE DISCARDED SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU FIND IT INCONVENIENT?

One of us is defending the Constitution and what it means because they understand what it says (me) and the other (you) lacks knowledge of what the Constitution means, and Thomas Jefferson's writings and approach towards muslim terrorism during the Barbary Pirates and the First Barbary War

If you want to stop being treated like a child (your perception) then educate yourself.

Yes, this is true.

Allow me to cut through the Gordian Knot on this for you, MamaTexan:

Islam does not recognize the Natural Rights of Man.

The Natural Rights of Man are the foundation and basis of the US Constitution. Since the Muslims don't recognize the Natural Rights of Man, they don't recognize the US Constitution - nor do they recognize the Declaration, either [I'm a Declarationist].

I myself maintain that Muslims cannot be US citizens. Some would say that's an extreme view, but if you pinned any Muslim down on those natty ol' Rights, you'd find your answer. They can't accept the the primacy of the Declaration and the Constitution over their religion.

After this determination, the "question" of their religion is superfluous.
