Let me pose this question for you. Should Islam continue to be protected under the first amendment? Given the anti-American sentiments expressed by many Muslims in the US and abroad, an argument exists that Islam should no longer be protected under the first amendment
Should Islam continue to be protected under the first amendment?
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Understand this: The Constitution doesn't exist to protect the rights of people that you like, it exists to protect the rights of the people you disagree with. And that includes Mormons, Muslims, pagans, voodoo witch doctors, the whole gamut. If that rustles your jimmies you're in the wrong country.
Given the anti-American sentiments expressed by many Muslims in the US and abroad,
Many =/= All. You ever hear of throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
That's a nice philosophy if your goal in life is to gracefully lose everything you have. The fact is the Founders never imagined in their wildest dreams the US would be flooded with people as hostile to our way of life as muslims. Letting openly hostile actors like communists and muslims spread propaganda and hold office will result in our destruction.
So I guess there are only parts of the First Amendment you're cool with, then?
Fuck off, fascist.
