Making Islam illegal is ridiculous. Are we in "1984," or even "V for Vendetta?" You can't outlaw a religion and think that it will go away-- take, say, two Apostles and then multiply the number of followers exponentially until there are nine zeros behind the one's digit.
Are we going to have anti-Islamic task forces invading and pillaging the homes of the numerous amounts of peaceful Muslims who have lived in this country for a number of years...there are over a billion Muslims in the world today, many of which are Sunni and do not live in the Middle East, or by Sharia law. Or better yet, what happens if the more radical elements of Islam (Wahhabis), a group that has developed a highway to heaven for suicide bombers,goes underground, making it even harder to establish who is doing what?
Muslims cannot come to a country and flout the established laws for their own...this is not "religious" freedom, and it will not stand. Extremist Islam is a problem...ask Salman Rushdie, who had a Fatwa put on his life by the Ayatollah, who then died a few years later, leaving the Fatwa open. America, as well as Europe, will and should continue its fight to maintain its economic and religious freedom against a force that, at best, wants to implement its own strict code of law on a world population that for centuries has not wanted it; at worst, wants to destroy the West--the Dajjal--to usher in the end of times and everlasting paradise with all the fleshly compensation a pious Muslim man(on earth at least) could want.
But, c'mon, tell me we've learned at least a couple things about gov't vs. religion in the last two thousand years.

You can't outlaw a religion This is getting tiresome - please Google 'Shinto' to read a little bit about US precedent dealing with a religion masquerading as a government engaged in war against the US.
Hint: the issue isn't about religious belief - it's about the primacy of the Constitution. Guess which one comes out on top?
