No one has a right to promote jihad against the US in the US.

I agree. When they incite violence and insurrection in the name of their jihad, they should be charged with crimes, tried and hopefully convicted.

Your comparison of Japanese and Germans in WW2 is not apt. Islam is a set of beliefs and belief inspired action, people can convert. Japanese and German nationality cannot be compared.

Actually, it is a direct and apt comparison. The Japanese, Germans and, to a lesser extent, the Italians, went to war because of their beliefs during that period, as much as for a desire to control raw materials. The Japanese believed their Emperor was divine, and there was a strong religious element to their reasons for making war. The Nazis believed in their German -- Aryan -- master race. There is a direct correlation between that Nazi belief, and the Islamist beliefs regarding their superiority vs. the inferiority of "infidels."

Religion also played a huge role in why the Nazis did what they did to the Jews. Like all derivatives of Marxism, their own beliefs amounted to a secular quasi-religion, really an anti-religion belief system. It is the basis on which the Nazis persecuted and denied the humanity of people who practiced the Hebrew faith, as well as Gypsies, non-Aryan Catholics, Christians and others.

The way to deal with Islam in the United States is to discredit it, not to tear up the First Amendment by denying that it is even a religion and using that excuse to suppress it.

I’m not saying it’s not a religion, I’m just saying that part of the religion is to wage jihad against all non-Muslims, and therefore it is an evil religion.

Your comparison to Japanese and Germans is not apt. Japan and Germany only waged wars of aggression for a few years. Islam has been doing it since 700 AD. Nonstop. It’s intrinsic in their very belief system, and if you know any history of Islam at all, you would know this. The only reason Islam is spread all over the world is because they have given millions of people throughout history the choice:

The Koran or the Scimitar.
