That's always an interesting theoretical problem.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
What if someone's free exercise violates the law, deprives others of their rights, is objectively harmful, or is widely considered morally offensive?

Whether Muslims have the right to publicly broadcast the call to prayer (the Adhan) depends heavily on local jurisdiction. It is not an absolute right but is generally permitted if mosques comply with standard community noise ordinances.
Muslims do not have the right to legally impose Sharia on communities in the United States. The U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause dictates that federal and state laws are the supreme law of the land, and no religious law can override, replace, or supersede the American legal system.
Under the First Amendment, Muslims have the right to practice their religion freely, which includes voluntarily adhering to the private, personal tenets of Sharia—such as dietary restrictions, prayer, and personal finance—in the same way other religious groups follow their own sacred traditions. However, this religious freedom does not permit the establishment of parallel legal systems, Sharia courts, or the enforcement of religious laws on individuals who do not wish to abide by them
