My state is already subject to religious extremism. I can buy a six pack of beer in the morning six days a week, but for some reason cannot do so on one.

Well in that case we might as well have Sharia

Is there a difference between this and Native American reservations?

If they have their own community and want to implement sharia law in it, then don’t provide them any funding at the city, state, and federal level.

It's a legit gripe. Blue Laws are unconstitutional.

Not until the Supremes decided after the fact to apply the 14th amendment to text that was specifically limiting Congress’s ability to make federal laws on respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The 14th was not meant to apply the 1st amendment to the States like that with President Grant even pushing the failed Blaine amendment in an attempt to actually apply those words to the States along with some others after the 14th was already ratified and in effect. Later the supremes just “amended” the constitution on their own (using a power and process that are not explicitly spelled out in the Constitution).

Text of the failed Blaine amendment which failed to get out of congress around 7 years after the 14th was ratified and in effect, so it was never even put to the states.

No State shall make any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; and no money raised by taxation in any State for the support of public schools, or derived from any public fund therefor, nor any public lands devoted thereto, shall ever be under the control of any religious sect; nor shall any money so raised or lands so devoted be divided between religious sects or denominations.

Besides the Constitution has one exclusion for Sundays built into it.

A comment heard all over Europe, London especially : "We don't have to defeat the West in battle, we will out breed them". If anyone doesn't understand just what is happening in this country now, go back 20-25 years ago & remember what the influx of Hispanics looked like back then. But, a huge difference is that Hispanics actively want to assimilate into our culture. Muslims, by their religion, want nothing to with becoming Americans.

I haven't followed the Muslim city in Texas story, but what are the legal justifications for fighting it?

Then I don’t agree with that.

They have their freedoms to worship and have their community but not any government service, no government funding at any level, law enforcement, ems, etc

Then once they step outside their community then they’re subject to all US law

There were 14 people that did exactly that on the morning of January 1st, 2025 in New Orleans when a Texas Mosque radicalized terrorist had other ideas.
