Yes, the constitution does protect freedom to worship as one wishes. It also separates religion from matters of state. Moslems don't do that. So the question is: -- "is islam a religion? The answer is...no. If white supremacists were constantly attempting murder on a mass scale, white supremacists would be singled out, and their meeting places closed down. Prominent supremacists would be prosecuted under hate crime laws. I don;t like travelilng on a plane with anybody remotely resembling a muslim, muslim dress etc. This is exactly the same feeling I get when coming close to some guy covered hate tattoos. So don't call my kind islamophonbic, I just don't like people who hate more than they love.

If islam respected others in this country, and voted in the ballot box instead of downed airliners and hatefilled mosques, I'd have respect. As it is, it ain't no religion. It's a death cult. It's everything adolf hitler wanted and more. Call it like it is, close down mosques, issue ID cards, send back all non-american muslims, and require the muslims remaining behind to take a citizenship test, in English, showing comprehension of the constitution, and if they still didn't get it, there's plenty of room at gitmo.
