Many of these advocates for Islam among us will quickly cite the first amendment as a protection for what they say. Yet, is that the case? Where do you draw the line between free speech and sedition??? And if sedition, what is the penalty for conviction???

What say you all?

Multiple question marks don't by themselves frame a proper question. Give a concrete example of something you imagine someone might say, and then we can maybe get traction on the question whether it's seditious or consitutionally protected speech.

You ought to form an alliance with advocates of speech codes on American campuses. They make the same arguments as you do, albeit with different goals. Conservatives and libertarians do the most good for their cause when they uphold the first amendment even when it hurts!
