I'd be in favor of banning the practice of Islam in America. Simply tell the people that they've got sixty days to find another religion, or another country.

Uhm. . last time I looked that would be unconstitutional. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and I'm not willing to give that up.
Therein lies the conundrum. Couching it in "religious" terms conceals the political nature of Islam and its true face, while opposing it chips away at the most sacred pillar of our own culture and political system as well as that of most other Western countries: freedom of religion.
Most ignorant and naive well-meaning people among us can't entertain that contradiction. Who would have thought that an ignorant, illiterate thug 1400 years ago would invent the putrefaction that would bring down the culmination of the Greek democratic ideal not to be invented for centuries?
The first step (sooner or later) must be the official finding by the Federal government that Islam is not a religion as defined by the Constitution (clearly it is not). This would be followed by the immediate destruction of every mosque in the United States, followed by a period of at least four generations to allow Islam to reconstitute itself into a form similar to all other world religions, which universally respect and distance themselves from the secular and political political units we now define as States or Countries.
Without this explicit, clear, permanent and unambiguous separation, no present or future movement claiming to be a religion will ever be legal again in the United States of America.
The logic should be crystal clear. Any "religion" which claims our constitutional protection, while simultaneously seeking the destruction of every other religion, as well as the secular state which harbors it, will be subject to eternal and everlasting enmity with prejudice by our Republic. The rest of the world can go right ahead and commit suicide. We have taken Political Correctness to the brink. Let's make sure that when we step back that we remove the danger permanently.
