I dont mind them practicing their faith, just dont tell me to respect their faith when they cannot even respect my own faith.
So basically, you advocate disrespecting and removing constitutional protection from an entire group of people based upon the actions of the extremists within their religion.

Yet another example of why religion and government should stay as far away as possible.

None of the founding fathers would likely agree with you, either.
I dare say the founding fathers would weep over your lack of respect for the document they sacrificed so much for to establish.

More than 1MM Muslims have been killed as a result of our "war on terror". I'm saying that all of this largely innocent bloodshed could have been avoided if there were no support for jihadists in the United States to begin with.

The founding fathers themselves proposed amendments to the constitution, genius. And I think we're up to 27 amendments today. Since when does amending the constitution show a "lack of respect" for the same?

And this relates to the First Amendment how? How did jihadists in the US influence al Qaeda's plans for 9/11?

This is a non-issue, for intelligent persons. There is no suggestion I've heard of to replace the Government of the USA with a system of Islamic law. Idiotic to think so. The extremists advocating this silly sh*t should back-off and leave our Constitution alone.

I advocate having 1 faith respect anothers faith. if one is not willing to respect anothers faith, then they should not have the same protections. extreme? I would not call the majority of the entire faith as just the extreme, i would consider that most.

The following constitutional amendment (see: Disinviting Islam) might be a good start:

I agree with this. Freedom should be limited to only the right people. Enslave the rest...

I'm not going to do your homework for you. Read up on Islam. Better yet, go to the website of your local mosque, click on the Q&A link, put "sharia" in the search engine, read between the lines, and get back to me.
