This is the US not communist Russia. Stalin outlawed religion, we cannot ban Islam without taking our Constitution and wiping our a$$ with it.

I don't agree. We require a loyalty oath for citizenship, which requires support of our constitution. It appears that no muslim can honestly give that oath, and so should not be allowed citizenship. We would not be outlawing religion, per se, only that religion which is incompatibile with our constitution and our sense of liberty (which is definitely not 'liberty as defined under sharia'.)

The Koran teaches that force and guile are both allowed tools to convert the infidel, and if conversion fails, slavery is allowed. Just how tolerant of that am I supposed to be?

"We require a loyalty oath for citizenship, which requires support of our constitution."

We do no such thing, except for naturalized citizens. The USA has many, many native born Muslims.

Most Muslims in this country don't support Shiara over US law, we can ban a religion on that basis.

We do need to point out that their oath of citizenship will be enforced, their religious oaths will not be officially supported, period.

Our Constitution and it's Amendments afford people freedom of Religion. Not Freedom of a Religion of our choosing. If you outlaw one you might as well outlaw them all. Our Constitution does provide for defences against sedition, but the outright outlawing of a certain religion crosses the line. Don't confuse a religion with the extremist whacko's that twist it to meet their agendas.
