The Constitution is pretty clear about there not being any religious test. I except Islam because of the world-wide political domination it clearly seeks over this mortal earth hiding under the name of religion.

I don't know of a religion called Fundamental Islam, but you will have to change the constitution to make a government religious test for it, or to keep Americans from being able to want to learn more about the highest ranking church official to ever run for president, also to want to discuss if it is sane or Christian or Jewish to vote for a man who thinks that he is becoming a God.

Like you, if a Muslim or a Mormon will renounce their religion, it would carry weight with me also.

No, you don't have to change the constitution. The US Government could easily make it illegal to practice or promote Sharia Law because it is clearly a system that not only discimintes against women and anyone not abiding it, it is a totalitarian political system which is in direct violation of the US constitution itself.

It could easily be legally labeled seditious as such...we would just have to have the will to do it, and to educate the people as to why.

Now, if we wanted to say that people could not read the Koran, or they could not pray to allah, or they could not interact religously amongst themselves according to the "legal" tennants of their religion, then yes, that would require a constitutional amendment...one that is not going to ever be willing adopted in this nation, and for good reason, it could and would be applied to all.

But Sharia Law is something very different. It is tangible and very established with its own legal and judicial internal mechanisms, and it could be outlawed in the US, precisely because it is not religion at all, but a seditious, anti-constitutional system of tyranny masqerading under the cover of a religion.
