For the most part if not completely religions that are being practiced in the United States conform to the laws of the nation and the Constitution. There is a separation of church and state. This was intentional by our founders although it was not iterated in the Constitution and exactly that manner the fundamental reasoning behind it was to protect religion from government and to prevent government from establishing a religion.

The Catholic Church in its doctrine adheres pretty much to canon law. Canon law however does not provide punishments for civil or criminal malfeasance. This is true or should be true of any other religion practicing within our borders. The problem that Islam may face or will face is that it does not believe in the separation of church and state. Frankly I doubt very much if any other religion believes in the separation of church and state either. However Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism if you want to keep it separate, have all learned to abide by the rules of our Constitution and laws. Can Islam do this? I don't know. I hope that it does. But if it does not I for one do not intend to budge one iota in order to accommodate it.

Just some thoughts.
