We've pretty much abrogated our Fourth Amendment rights in airports and there are rumors that train and bus stations are next so it's not like there's not a precedent.
Yet again, you fail to see the entire picture. Islam is not a religion. It is an all encompassing way of life that includes laws and social structure as well as political control. To say someone has the right to practice Islam is also saying they have the right to practice sharia. Because you cant have the religion without the laws. Our constitution calls for the separation of church and state. According to Islam, the church and the state are one in the same. Therefore the practice of Islam goes against the constitution, which means you are living outside our laws, and you forfeit your rights.
