Aside from that however, the right of Americans to worship (within these laws) is absolute.
It most certainly is not absolute. Every day in this country, the left and the judiciary are making it harder and harder for Christians to worship in public.
Predominately Muslim countries often make it a crime for non-Muslims to worship. Many of us believe this is exactly what would happen in America if this country ever became predominately Muslim. A number of experts have determined that the biggest mosques in the U.S. are encouraging violent forms of Islam.
This is a religious war - not because Americans want it to be so but because many Muslims want it to be so. Are all Muslims supportive of extremist activity? No, only an estimated 100 million worldwide.
Muslims could prove their peaceful intent by turning in their violent brethren to the authorities for prosecution. I sure haven't heard much of that. They are NOT doing so. That speaks volumes.
America has a history of protecting religions but does not have to blindly protect religious cults advocating wholesale murder. If I gather a group of wackos together and plot violence against innocents and call my group of scoundrels a "religion," does that protect us from criticism?
Islam is not a religion of peace. The current and historical evidence of that is overwhelming. It is the only "religion" of which I am aware that promises heavenly acceptance for acts of suicide and mass homicide in the name of its god.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
