A person can come from an islamic country but not be muslim. The owner of the 7-11 I frequent, he is a Pakistani Roman Catholic. The other owner is Hindu, but I'd not say they're hell bent on destroying western civilization. Actually it's not as if they can return home, they'd both be killed, esp. the RC.

It'd be easier for Norway to do whatever it has to do. They're a socialist country. US can go back to rigorous immigrant screening, such as moral character,disease,criminal checks,etc but to start saying, oh well, you're from XYZ middle eastern country, you suck, you're not allowed? At all? Screening people severely, rather than an out-out ban, is better and we'd only be getting the best anyway.

As for breeding like rabbits, people are allowed to have children. People should not blame those who place more value on children, than say pop American culture of abortion, and putting riches over having babies.

In saying we should severely limit immigration from Islamic countries, I'm simply saying we can't use a religious test, per se, to keep them out. As you point out, as a practical matter rigorous screening would have to be applied. But I think small quotas should be allowed in from those countries. The "breeding like rabbits" comment wasn't mine, and it was my belief that you can't control breeding once they're here that leads me to believe you must control immigration.
