I am not sure he is correct on this. The purpose of excluding "religious tests for office" was to keep from blowing apart the coalition of states each of which had official state religions that were not compatible in doctrine.
The founders eschewed doctrinaire based tests because such would favor one denomination over another, and such a thing would blow apart the coalition.
It is doubtful that Islam was even contemplated within this framework.
Much of the problem we have with Constitutional interpretation nowadays is making the spirit of the law inferior to the letter of the law, when in fact it should be the exact opposite.
I will once again point out that the US Constitution ends with a reference to Jesus and excludes the President from having to work on Sundays.

Do you have any idea how much of the world was under total Moslem tyranny when this country was founded?
