US Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional

The point is that they are not being jailed just because they are followers of Islam.

Taken as two separate sentences (which is what I meant them as), both statements are true. In most places in the US, you will not be persecuted because you are Muslim. I see people in traditional muslim clothing every day and they are having a fine time (as in, not being persecuted because of their clothing). The incidences of attacks on mosques/muslims have fallen radically since 9/11. Even if they hadn't, they are certainly not being persecuted by the government.
