It’s questionable whether it deserves to be called “a religion” at all. At least some “authorities” on it decline that classification. We’d be better off if the only Constitutional reference to Islam was Article I, Section 8’s “To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations.” I wonder if there exists anything in the history of the writing and ratification of the first amendment that refers to the possibility of “religion” including Islam. Certainly, at that time paying tribute to Islamic pirate nations and suffering their attacks was the largest Islamic effect on our country. Even without explicitly banning God-Emperor Hirohito’s “religion” from First Amendment protections we were able to act against it during WWII. W’s dad never called that a religion of peace, but the children of those he helped defeat turned into some our better friends.
Governor DeSantis has a firm grasp of the obvious!
Taxman Bravo Zulu, Governor!
