No, Angola Has Not 'Banned Islam'. It's a Little More Complicated Than That.

Under Fischer’s argument any state could also do away with freedom of speech, of the press and to assemble. He’s arguing that First Amendment Rights apply only to Federal laws, but he’s only looking as far as religion. And of course, he’s ignoring the 14th Amendment.

I guess the question is, if he believes Islam may be banned by a state, does he also believe that a state may ban newspapers, TV and radio as it sees fit, or arrest and imprison citizens for whatever speech they see fit to prohibit, or prevent citizens from assembling?

Does he REALLY believe this is what the Founders had in mind?

Yes, I’m sorry to say. Bryan Fischer’s ideal society would be a Theocracy, so he thinks that if the Founders were good men then the Constitution provided for the establishment of said Theocracy.

/Not kidding.
