In that case what’s the disposition of American Muslims? Do they get a ‘free pass’ or must they somehow demonstrate their loyalty? And if that’s the case how will Free Exercise Clause violations be avoided? Otherwise American Muslims would have to be treated as the enemy.
Actually the problem with Islam and America is that in it's essence,
Islam is a combination of a theological philosophy with a political ideology (sharia). It is the only "Great Religion" with a finite political agenda.
The "political" aspect of Islam is what makes it
virtually incompatable with western thought and democratic principles. Ergo, if American muslims wish to coexist in peace and prosper here, they must be
Americans first, and then Muslims. Those that do this are unfortunately considered apostate by the rest of the Islamic world.........
A problem without an external solution........without a "Reformation" internally within Islam (to seperate the politics from the faith), coexistance with western democracies ain't ever gonna happen.
