I agree that yranny under any banner is frought with peril. My simple question is will you follow the constitution or will you try to manipulate it into something unrecognizable.

Sorry, I'm not following your question. My point is that the Constitution explicity forbids a "religious test". And I am definitely in favor of following the Constitution, not trying to manipulate it into something unrecognizable.

In response to your original post, I have no problem with Muslims trying to convert other people to their faith, so long as the process remains voluntary. Lots of religions proselytize. Lots of religions would like everyone on earth to join them. So what? The only time a problem arises is when they resort to compulsion. This country has a long tradition (backed by its Constitution) of freedom and religious tolerance. And we have a 2nd Amendment to deal with any who would violate our liberties by imposing their religious views on us.
