Islam in America—Freedom of Religion and Its Limitations
Islam is a growing religion in the United States, so for Muslim followers who are American citizens, the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion applies. Some commentators have worried, though, about certain Islamic practices do not comport with a free society, so they argue Islam as a religion should be banned. This action would, of course, violate the First Amendment. So if indeed there may be problems with certain practices, what do we do? Can a religion be limited without being banned? Does any precedent for this exist in American law? The answer to both questions is, Yes, for there is a body of relevant case law exists. And by the way, disagreeing with the tenets of another religion is not ipso facto discrimination or prejudice or hate. It's freedom of religion and speech in a pluralistic society.
