The KKK churches were shut down and owned in lawsuits against them from victim's families. Same thing can work here.

The Klan is not a recognized religion, nor does it claim to be, and its headquarters are not places of worship. It's a slippery slope. If you give the government the right to blanket surveillance on mosques then will a future Democrat administration use that power for surveillance on churches opposed to abortion or same-sex marriage?

No "slippery slope" at all if we are guided by the founding fathers who gave us our Constitutional rights.

Ask yourself what happened to the "Church of England" after the American Revolution?

Since the founding father's did not intend the Constitution to be a suicide pact, it was "shut down."

The justification: The Church of England was not just a religion, it was a political religion requiring complete allegiance to the King of England. The King's followers were pledged to aid him in destroying that Constitution and the American Republic and thereby forfeited religious protection under the Constitution.

Church of England congregations were compelled to abandon all their political pro-King doctrines (thereby becoming the Episcopal Church) or leave the country.

Why should the situation with Islam in the US be regarded as different? Why should we now allow the Constitution to become a suicide pact?

Are those imaginary churches you fear calling for death to all non believers and the destruction of Western civilization. Quit providing cover for the cretins please.

Yep it is much better to do nothing I say.

No Muslim can swear allegiance to the Constitution because their religion demands that the Koran and Sharia be above all else. Yet we allow them to become citizens with a modified oath.

   

Madness.

You need not fret

America has no resolve yet to do much except enforce political correctness

It could take the death of millions to shake the white western Christian world back to the realities it faces from these pagan maniacs

And Islam will certainly bring it

There is nothing new whatsoever in all of this, Islam has coveted the White Christian Western world more than any other since it spread beyond Arab lands 1400 years ago

It is standard Islamic proselytizing by the sword

The medieval Islamic warlords could have only hoped to have been faced with such a pliable Christendom

You’re concerned about slippery slopes in the face of an enemy who would exterminate every vestige of us

Kinda funny no

But don’t worry it’s not 1941

Valid point in post 12 and a good reason we should never act emotionally. With that said though, it seems obvious to me that fundamental Islam is not compatible with our constitution. Sharia law is in opposition to our constitution. As long as one can practice their faith while observing the constitutional rights of others there should be no issue. If one practices their faith by advocating violence against others they are operating outside of the constitution.

It is a difficult situation given that the left seems so committed to using the courts to attack Christianity because it disagrees with their agenda. FRegards.

Don’t kid yourself. They are already doing that.

You are thinking when some Freepers are not. I just posted if Trump could shut down mosques because he wants to, he could shut down Catholic and Baptist and other churches - and you are correct another Democrat could do the same.
