As for "no religious Test", let's just admit that islam is a totalitarian political system spread by violence and the threat of violence. If you think the Founding Fathers thought for a minute that islam was compatible with freedom or democracy, you're deluded. Very well stated. I agree. Heck, for many Communism is a religion. Islam is NOT a religion but at it's core a violent political movement that seeks to totally submit the individual to the collective.

No it isn't, thats fundamentalist Islam. I know many peaceful Muslims who want nothing more than to worship their god, raise their kids, and live peaceful prosperous lives.
Also the fact that they worship a deity qualifies them as a religion because religion is defined as "Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe"
