The problem there is people other than Islamics can and will engage in terrorism, thus prolonging the WoT until there is no human left alive that will violently resist. And that will never happen.
I'm not saying curtailing rights for everyone, just muslims.
Anti-terrorism laws apply equally to everyone. There is literally no chance that will ever change. Whatever rights you take from any American, you take from all.
how do you propose we protect ourselves from this evil death cult?
That's a lot like asking a doctor how you get rid of cancer. He's going to tell you to refrain from behavior that causes cancer to begin with, and that once you have cancer there may be no complete cure and whatever treatment is available is often nearly as bad as the disease itself.
Terrorism occurs because the United States, through its aggressive foreign policy, angers foreigners to the point of violence. When they learn they cannot successfully engage us on the battlefield, they resort to attacking us off the battlefield.
Terrorism is a permanent side effect of entangling relationships with foreign powers. Just as drunkeness is a side effect of drinking alchohol, terrorism is a side effect for putting our troops on foreign soil where they are not wanted, and for propping up foreign regemies that 'play ball'.
So we have a decision to make. We can mind our own business and remain free, or we can expand an empire and face the consequences.
