correct???? That would make it against Islamic teachings, correct???

What I am asking is can you just bend Islamic teachings to your own whim like you can most other religions????

Dunno, I know zilch about the various interpretations of Islam and how our government would recognize them in this context. All I know is that it didn't work for Ali.

As for bending the teachings, sure, why not? I've known Muslims who drink, just like I've known Baptists who dance. We're talking about over a billion people worldwide who come from very different cultural backgrounds, so it stands to reason that there'd be a pretty wide variety who come to the US, too.
