It is not inconsistent with libertarian ideology to support controlling America's borders.

Not generally. But selectively prohibiting Mohammedan immigration would be contrary to libertarian principles, right?

Not really. One of the legitimate roles of government is to protect the citizenry from outside threats. A good case can be made that the citizenry would be safer if Muslims were not allowed to immigrate to this country and if non-citizen Muslims already here were deported.
