"I don't want to see a specific religion banned in this country. The prohibition of Islam would involve a change in our Constitution. Sorry, I don't want to go there."

Many would argue that modern day Islam is more of a military organization than a religion. In that case a change to the Constitution may be in order.

Not saying I personally believe this -- just playing Devil's Advocate.

Any suggestions for the wording of the new constitutional amendment banning certain religions but not others? If we're going to amend the 1st Amendment we might as well be specific.

Military orginization or a cult perhaps.

No need to amend the Constitution. Just have the Attorney General declare Islam a criminal organization and apply all applicable RICO statutes.

I'm sure the authorities have dealt with fake religions before.

Better to exterminate the enemy with EXTREME PREJUDICE.

No need to ban the religion, just ban people from terrorist originating countries. The fact that all such countries are Muslim, is their doing, not ours. Sure there are a few native born citizens who are raised in the religion, or convert, but banning all the Imams and Mullahs preaching "death to America" (which has nothing to do with the practice of "Religion", any more than AlGore collecting money in a Buddhist Temple does) would nip that little problem in the bud.

IOW, you could practice Islam until the cows come home, but you couldn't come from some middle eastern or Asian hell hole and do it here.
