Never in their worst nightmares did the Founding Fathers ever dream that Hindus or Muslims would ever become citizens of the United States, let alone that they would ever run for or hold positions of political power.
Not sure how the founding fathers ever thought that Muslims would never be citizens of the US, seeing as how the US already had a Muslim population before the Revolutionary War.
Also odd that they specifically made freedom of religion the first amendment. Why would they bother to do that if they thought people of different religions would not be part of the US?
All the Founding Fathers weren't supportive of slavery. And some slaves had been granted freedom by their owners.
You seem to have ignored the fact that our founding fathers placed freedom of religion prominently in the First Amendment. Why would they do this if they didn't think people practicing those religions would one day be citizens?
Islam and Hinduism have long been two of the world's most popular religions. It wouldn't make sense for our founding fathers to believe that we would never have citizens that practiced these religions.

A few hundred slaves and “workmen “. Not citizens, and certainly not elected officials.

Doesn't this still apply? These regions are not to be allowed in our laws. However they're allowed to have their own God in their heart. Right?
