You didn't understand my message. I wasn't asking if the US were doing enough against DiScRiMiNaTiOn, i was asking if they were actually confusing islamophobia and race discrimination.
Muslims are people, Islam is an idea and I believe no healthy society should prevent you from "discriminating" between ideas, this is called discernement, discrimination is not a bad word it is the base of any thought.
Two types of societies have banned islamophobia or christian phobia: Middle age european countries and muslim countries nowadays. It was death penalty in both cases which is the normal way to go if you recognize some thoughts as being sacred by the law.

You asked if it is condemned by the US law, and I answered, yes. Every type of religious discrimination is condemned by US law.

That was my question and I find it to be a problem on its own, the rest you wrote was due to the fact that you didn't read my message..

constitutionally no state can leave the union, nor form a confederation among states within a union, not create currency for use within said illegal confederation.

I'm sure King George said the same thing about the revolutionaries.
Are you a loyalist to the English crown?

"The nations of these Confederate States of Earth, each state acting in her free and independent manner, invoking the justice and providence of Almighty God, have elected to secede from the Union of Earth States, on the grounds of said government no longer having the best interests of the peoples of Earth at heart, it is the belief of the Confederate people that withdrawing from a nation detrimental to the rights and liberties of the people it is supposed to fairly govern is the only way we can preserve our freedom, self-determination and rights, we, the free and independent people of these Confederate States, therefore affirm our independence and our own governance."

Wrong on all accounts, but I'll start by pointing out that the confederate states and the confederacy as a whole went out of its way to demonstrate beyond any semblence of a doubt that their reason for secession was because their right to hold slaves was being infringed on.

11 of the 13 states were explicitly seceeding for slavery, the last two seceeded becuase they didn't like how the North handled the secession. This is laid out explicitly by the seceeding states including in the following

Mississippi - "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth."

South Carolina - "For twenty-five years this agitation has been steadily increasing, until it has now secured to its aid the power of the common Government. Observing the *forms* [emphasis in the original] of the Constitution, a sectional party has found within that Article establishing the Executive Department, the means of subverting the Constitution itself. A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common Government, because he has declared that "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free," and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction."

Texas - "She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy."
