Why couldn't a mostly Muslim community in this country choose to impose Sharia Law, locally, or even just a set of laws similar to Sharia, and claim them as an exercise of their religious rights under the 1st amendment - even if their laws were contrary to current US laws -
in the same manner as Hobby Lobby has done?
How do you argue against that? Or do you concede that you'd have to side with the Muslims?
You wouldn't think I'd have to explain the obvious to you.
Do you understand the difference between the Federal Government forcing you to do something contrary to your religious beliefs and you doing something illegal to others?
One involves government interference in your rights. The other involves you hurting others.
You realize that there is a balancing test that has been in place for decades to address these very questions, right?
