Protect existence of peaceful religions

How many more Sikh (Hindu) and peaceful religious individuals will be murdered before the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is changed under Article V? The First Amendment as now reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” must be changed to read, “establishment of
non-violent and peaceful religion.”
Concurrently with this change, Congress must enact legislation to include Sharia Law as felony murder under the justice system! Law enforcement will be authorized to screen and investigate all temples, mosques and churches where training for “death to the infidels” is practiced. Local, state and federal governments should be authorized to close such with appropriate sentenced justice.
