First let me state for the record, that I do not believe in absolute freedom
of religion, or absolute freedom speech, or absolue freedom of
anything .
The U.S Supreme Court apparently felt the same way when it ruled
that Mormons (in the Smith Case) could not practice polygamy even
though it was a part of their religion at the time.
And the court has also ruled that free speech doesn’t allow for slander, libel, revealing
government secrets, uttering threats, blackmail, extortion, pornograhic
communications, and so on. Thus, freedom of religion or speech is not
an absolute unfettered right under our constitution. If it were,
I would be lobbying hard for a constitutional ammendment to change that.
In my opinion, Islam is a blight on human civilization.
Christians and Jews stopped doing the barbaric things Muslims do today
200 years ago.
I for one, don’t think Islam should be permitted to be practiced or preached in the USA.
But, our constitution as currently interpreted allows for even the vilest and most socially destructive religions to be practiced with few if any restrictions.
.
And to make matters worse, many good people who are patriotic and well meaning, but
also gullible and naive, seem to think that all religion is equally good, and that all religions are equally valid.
That of course is nonsense! Not all religions are "good"; and not all religions are equally legitimate or valid. And if a religion condones or teaches "Jihad" or "honor killing" or female genital mutilation, or advocates stoning, whippings or beheadings for petty sexual sins and vices, then that "religion" must be monitored carefully to be certain that no violations of our laws are advocated, suggested, condoned, encouraged, or actually comitted or covered up after the fact. And if such violations do occur, the guilty should be imprisoned and upon release deported.
But, punishment for law violations and punishment is only retrospective. We need to also act prospectively to nip the growing Islamic menace in the bud by placing stricter immigration quotas on Muslims seeking to immigrate to America. Muslims immigrants who are virtually unassimable, present a far greater threat to our culture and our national security than the hard working and economically exploited, undocumented Mexicans. They are, in the overwhelming majority of cases, harmless and also imminently assimable.
So maybe we should not wax so hysterical over the undocumented Mexicans. The real fifth column in America are the practitioners of Islam. And they need to be reined in, restricted, monitored and managed-now before it is too late, and we become like France and The UK cowering in our country.
