Sorry, Islam may be a totally screwed up religion, but its a religion. In the United States, you cannot ban a religion (or a political party). And if you did ban Islam, you know what the libs would be pushing next? To ban Christianity. Be careful what you wish for.

Your contempt for the Constitution is evident. I’m sure you’d be quite comfortable in the Democrat party.

You're real quick to stoop to name-calling without knowing anything about a person or the topic being discussed. That's Alinskyite behavior.

Any religious practice that violates the rights of other people, or involves criminal acts, is already banned by laws of various sorts. Just about everything the muslim sub-humans do that defines their so-called religion is already a crime of some sort.

The "Free Exercise" clause of the First Amendment does not give any religion or person the right to violate the rights of other people, nor to violate existing laws, nor to corrupt our legislative or judicial processes.

IANAL, but I'd guess the people and the states could easily show a "compelling interest" in the discussions of banning the muslim practices of beheading those with whom they disagree, or stoning women for getting raped, or killing those who leave islam for some other religion, or just plain old every-day-muslims-blowing-up-stuff-and-killing-people-just-because.

Here's a wiki summary of the Free Exercise Clause for you to read while you're thinking up your next round of name-calling.

Here's another fer-instance for you:

If a so-called Christian preacher wanted to handle rattlesnakes as part of his show, that would be his right. If he were to get bitten and die from the practice, that would be his choice, and I'd be just as happy as everyone else to wish him well in the afterlife.

Now, if this same idiot preacher were to toss rattlesnakes upon unwilling recipients, and some of them were to get bitten and die, then that would be murder, and I'd be just happy to see that idiot preacher properly tried and hanged for that/those crimes.

Additionally, should a growing epidemic of such idiot preachers start spreading across the land, similarly tossing the rattlesnakes upon unwilling recipients, then the people and the states would have a compelling interest in banning such practices, and sentencing the practitioners to confinement or exile some great and safe distance from functioning humans.

I’d rather just ban all religions if it meant we’d be done with islam for once and all. People can get into other activities frankly. Have social clubs and stuff.

I just don’t understand why religion actually matters to so many people. At least with political parties there’s a real element on Earth right now (usually) for what they say or do.
