I will never vote for a Muslim....

Oops, do I have the right to say that, since it has been pointed out repeatedly that the Constitution does state that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States?”

As is often misunderstood, the Constitution and BoR affects, constrains, limits government, not the people. At least that's the way it's supposed to be.

Feel free to use whatever litmus test you wish, against any candidate you are allowed to vote for.

That's ok. It is government that can not apply any religious test for eligibility for office, but you as a private citizen have a right to form your opinions on whatever basis seems reasonable to you.
You already knew that, didn't you? :-)

Well you certainly have a right to feel that way. It was not a Catholic, Jew, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist the list goes on, that flew an airplane into the WTC,bombed the Marine Corp barracks or starting wars and social strife pretty much anywhere in the world. You can blame that on the Muslims.

Yes, it does say that in Article VI, Section 3. However, since Islam is NOT a religion, you are not applying a "religious test." The Constitution is mute concerning murderous 6th Century cults.

It's not a religion; it's a death cult with the promise of everlasting orgies in the hereafter. Therefore, your view is perfectly Constitutional.

Once a muzzie, always a muzzie? Or else they'll kill you, right?

m'Lady, I have no doubt that a man's religious proclamations will not define your vote. His secular positions, on the other hand ...
