I don't either. They are treasonous enemies and should be eradicated.

I don't see how Islam fits under freedom of religion or any aspect of the First Amendment.

Islam is a religion with elements we find radical, and one that has much more than its share of radical violent people, all the way up to full blown terrorists.

But that doesn't and shouldn't affect its freedom of religion status under the first amendment. Nor is it necessary to give less religious freedom to Muslims in the US in order to fight terrorism, or argue against Islamic radicalism. Freedom of religion should be no protection against arrest for supporting or taking part in terrorism, if it is treated as such, then the false treatment is the problem, not the idea of freedom of religion.
