#1 In other words, the law would make Islam the de-facto State Religion of the United States.

#2 It would have to pass in the Senate, CrazyFool. Is something like this in the works there?

#3 Won't pass the senate and wouldn't pass higher-court scrutiny.

And if the fix was in on both it still wouldn't be respected or followed in the red states.

Fuck Islam and its pedophile "prophet".

#4 ..shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion...

Of course, SCROTUSCJ Roberts could argue it's a tax.

#5 "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
-- that First Amendment thingie in the Constitution

Notice how the bit about religion comes first, before freedom of speech and assembly? It is the opinion of this citizen that not having a state religion is one of the more important ideas in the whole document. I suspect the Founding Fathers were inspired by the amount of time and energy our European betters spent killing each other in the name of God.

#6 wouldn't pass higher-court scrutiny.

FDR's Japanese concentration camps passed Supreme Court scrutiny...

FDR's Japanese concentration camps passed Supreme Court scrutiny...

And that precedent still stands in effect AFAICT.

#8 The term Islamaphobia really bothers me. A phobia by definition is an IRRATIONAL fear of something. Claustrophobia,germophobia, etc. The person suffering from the phobia is aware that it is irrational, but can't stop it.

With Islam, my fear is quite rational. I have seen what Muslims can do - to anyone not as pious as they deem necessary. This includes other Muslims.

Also, who gets to define "Islamophobia"? If I say, "I am glad I am Catholic and not Muslim", is that Islamophobic? If I say, "Those Muslims blew up a mosque full of other Muslims. They must be crazy", is that Islamophobic?
