OK. They want to use the term "Abrahamic" - let's look at what that really means. God promised Abraham and his descendants- I will bless them that bless thee, curse them that curse thee, and through thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Let's see. Isaac was the son of promise, the father of Jacob, aka as Israel. We had better treat Israel right or God is gonna be mad. Also, Jesus is the descendant of Abraham, whom through Him all nations of the earth will be blessed. Marvellous place for Christianity, here. Abrahamic. I like it!

OK. They want to use the term "Abrahamic"...I like it! Me too! America is about policy and always has been. If Mansoor Ijaz wants to preach Islam in conformity to the American concept of liberty, I say more power to him.
So many forget that where we came from was very much like what we're fighting today. Our Founding Fathers very consciously subordinated a person's private paradigm to a set of principles that allow everyone to practice their faith without combating religious enemies.
If you stand before your God answering only for yourself...America is the place for you.
