Not all religions are morally equivalent.

Yes, Christianity had it's issues too, so don't bother bringing up the Crusades because they ended over 500 years ago.

Islam still has issues trying to drag itself out of medieval times.

And yes, there are those on the religious right who still look at things like homosexuality as a sin (pretty much all religions do).

But at least they won't throw you off a building for being gay.

Ask Trump. When your own country wont do business with you..what better way to get revenge then to conspire with a country that ALSO hates America....to bring her down from the inside.

He has made it clear he is a vengeful vindictive body.

If Trump hates someones entire family because he never got a "Thank you" for approving their funeral..imagine HOW MUCH TRUMP HATES AMERICA and therefore HATES YOU.
His entire family must, to survive, HATE America.

They re loyalty is to a man who HATES AMERICA.

Ask conservatives on here with their 10 year hatefest on Obama! 2 years is nothing.

I don't care what your religion tells you - if you can't be a good citizen then GTFO!
I don't understand this post. The Constitution is supposed to guarantee freedom of religion. So, wouldn't practicing the religion you believe in be an American thing to do, and would it not be acting in accordance with the Constitution?

Some will. Or instead, they'll just rape little boys.

But that's not the point. Freedom of religion means people get to practice Islam even if you think it's relatively morally deficient. You're referring to scenarios that are illegal, and those obviously aren't protected. So, I don't see any good reason why the president should not be in favor of law-abiding citizens practicing religion as they please.

Why do you not understand this? This religion is philosophically opposed to the freedoms provided by the constitution. The constitutions purpose is not to protect the ability to destroy it.

Depends on who you ask. Doesn't change the fact that the Constitution protects freedom of religion. Why is this a point of contention?

Is it because people really do want to change the Constitution but won't admit it?
