Well, you are opening up a big can of worms here - People cannot avoid religiously neutral laws of general application on the grounds that their faith demands it. So, for example, a Muslim can't kill his daughter for having premarital sex and use religion as a defense. But some of your examples, as odious as they may be, are protected. Speaking about terrorism? A couple of clauses in the 1st Amendment may cover that, as long as it is merely speech.

"9/11 happened becuse we give Constitutional Rights to everyone"

Wow. Can you tell us which citizens get them and which ones do not?
