The left has no leg to stand on. They support bans and confiscations of what they dub "weapons of choice for criminals and terrorists" such as "Saturday night specials," "assault weapons" and .50 cal "military sniper rifles," Constitutional guarantees about the right to keep and bear arms notwithstanding.

Given that Islam is the religion of choice for criminals aand terrorists, on what basis can they argue some sort of Constitutional protection of Mosques or Muslims?

This is not to say that I endorse any infringement of Constitutional liberties - much the opposite, but they can't reasonable expect some rights to be held sacred while they earnestly shred others.

A very good point. Selective adherence to constitutional principles doesnt apply here. Another good point made on this thread is Why would Muslims want to move a secular country like ours in the first place?? The answer; to erode from within......
