To: Notwithstanding
Congress is prohibited by the First Amendment from making any law regarding the establishment of religion by a government. That means no laws creating a state religious sect. It does not mean no laws allowing the state to give respect to the varioius religious sects practiced by the people. In fact, the First Amendment forbids Congress from making any law that prohibits the freedom to practice any religious sect (arguably limited to any sect known to the framers), but does not in any way prohibit laws encouraging the practice of religion.

The existence of the First Amendment itself is proof that the Framers acknowledged a difference betwen a religion and a government. If there wasn't, then there could be no First Amendment, because two governments would be colliding.

Islam is a government that calls itself a religion. It presumes all of the authorities of a government, as divine dictate. This is not some obscure concept - it is simply a religious government, and as such, demands total jurisdicational control of everything it can reach, like virtually all governments do.

Thus, Islam is NOT a "First Amendment religion." It can't be - in it's very nature, it challenges the authority of the Constitution.

But in the mean time, it uses First Amendment protections to infiltrate our country, with the openly admitted plan of usurping our government, and seizing control of our country.

By it's own admittance, Islam is an enemy of the United States of America, and ANY country which it does not completely, totally control.

Islam is NOT a First Amendment religion, and referring to it as one is nothing other than aiding and abetting an enemy of the country.

“it is simply a religious government, and as such, demands total jurisdicational control of everything it can reach”

I keep waiting to hear the “seperation of church and state” mantra of the Left. Perhaps it only applies to Christianity...or just religions that don’t issue death Fatwas.
