But there is also nothing in the Constitution that suggests that we embrace false religions and elevate them to the same level as the faith upon which this country was built.

As long as Islam is considered one of the major religions of the world, I think the U.S.A. would have a hard time declaring it a false religion - without perhaps "establishing" a state religion at the same time, in any case.

There is nothing to add to that; your post sums the whole thing up perfectly!

Do you think that a religion that teaches its adherents to outlaw all other religions if the adherents gain power OUGHT to be permitted and IS permitted by our constitution?

Why protect a religion that teaches only IT may be freely practiced and that IT must become the state religion???
