Intersting take. Do you think the framers would support the practice of a religion whose basic premise is the elimination of the practitioners of all religions other than theirs ?

Yes, I do... I have not seen anything that otherwise. Freedom of religion and worship, regardless of what that may talk.

The Founders were also very positive about the freedom of speech, and that goes hand-in-hand. Being able to criticize the Government or other institutions is fundamental to the American experiment.

Let me try one more time...

I have a Mosque. My religion tells me that non-Muslims are infidels that need to be eliminated or subjugated. I support terrorists who are known to kill American citizens here and overseas. I solicit donations from my mosque members to give money so that I can support these terrorists.

The founders consider this a legitimate practice of the freedom of religion ?

Sure they were... but this freedom is NOT ABSOLUTE. There are limits to the practice of the freedom of speech. Here’s the limit -— If your speech will cause the death and harm others, then it stops there.

I don’t think they believe that speech is so absolute that it trumps law and order.
