In response to Zee's response to Leslie White

Zee, you are surely aware that Islam is a comprehensive political, social, and economic belief system in addition to a religious one. No need for a constitution for those who follow Sharia Law. CAIR is calling for the American constitution to be REPLACED by Sharia Law. That's the key phrase. It is calling for the foundation of our government to be dismantled and replaced by Islam. Sounds like sedition to me.

Priests or ministers spreading their religious beliefs are not calling for the overthrow of the foundations of anyone's government.
