1. There is a difference between disliking government involvement and not trusting it on the one hand, and refusing to see a self-selecting group that threatens the US on the other.

2. The state is always involved in cultural matters. The only question is which cultural norms are pressed used.

1. The distrust I have is strong enough that it is far better for the government to not intervene. There are adequete laws to cover the threat, but the usual safeguards fromt heBill of Rights need to apply.

2. Again, explain to me why I should trust ANY governmental involvement in cultural issues, much less to decide which norms are used. What I see in the plain wording of the Constitution does not favor any religion, nor does it grant any authority for the federal government to be involved in matters of culture.
