I know plenty of American muslims that play well with others...
And what do you know about the tenents of their "religion?"
One wuld think RELIGIOUS FREEDOM was a founding principle. Oh....it IS.
And what part of Islam being antithetical to RELIGIOUS FREEDOM don't you get?
Banning their religion will do NOTHING in the fight/stuggle/war against terrorism.
That statement is as asinine as claiming guns won't help people defend themselves. If nothing else, it would make recruiting more difficult.
It would drive their religion underground, nothing more. Actually, it would probably have a negative affect, if any, due to the overt attack on their religion making even the more moderate ones more accepting of the extreme position.
You may be right, so I'd settle for giving them dhimmi status. That's certainly been effective for them over the centuries.
Hint: banning a belief doesn't ban the people who follow the belief.....muslim terrorists will come and go regardless of whether or not their religion is banned.
That's fine as long as they can't organize ;o)
I know plenty....read the Qu'ran multiple times since 1990....also read the Old Testament a few times and whatever Bible they passed out when entering the miitary a few times. Know thy enemy and all. I also know plenty about the Constitution....know what you're swearing to defend and all. I also know something about bigotry.

You are free to practice whatever religion YOU choose in THIS country until enemies of the Constitution get ahold of power and decide to ban other religions. The Bill of Rights is there to protect you from the government, not from another religion.
That statement is as asinine as claiming guns won't help people defend themselves. If nothing else, it would make recruiting more difficult.
Gun ownership red herrings/poor analogies aside...What's asinine is the insane notion of banning a religion in this free country and thinking it would do something to fight terrorism, when all it would do is water down the very Constitutional freedoms the Founders came here for and drive that which you ban underground.
Keep bigotry out of my Constitution.
