The C says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Nowhere does it mention "except some stuff".So basically a meaningless protection. Or a non-protection. Or really, no protection at all.You mean like outlawing gay marriage does?Yes, that Constitutional protectionYou mean the Constitutional protection of freedom of religion, of which sharia law and hand chopping are part of?
The same one that allows you to practice your religion as long as it does not violate our laws
Anyways, if the First Amendment doesn't protect sharia, it doesn't really protect anything, and is a useless Amendment.
We saw what happened in Kentucky when a county clerk tried to claim a religious objection to gay marriage
You have a first amendment right to practice your religion.....up to the point it violates our laws
You saw the same thing with Mormons and polygamy
Far from meaningless....just not absolute
