Maybe we've reached an accord:
"We don't ban bank robbers, but we do make the actual robbing of banks a crime."
And we don't ban Wahhabi mullahs who might preach the killing of infidels, we just ban the preaching itself.

So we're back to "clear and imminent danger".
Now you say, "But that's a violation of the 1st Amendment . . ."

Bank robbers rob banks. If they did not, they would not be bank robbers. So we arrest them, try them, and convict them.

Wahhabi mullahs who preach the killing of infidels in this country can be arrested, tried, and convicted as well. Islam continues without them.

We try people, not ideas.
