That's just stupid. Illegal activities of Moslems, yes, but to ban a religion is simply going back to the bad old days, like when the mere fact of being or harboring a Catholic priest in Elizabethan England was a capital offense.

Practicing Nazism during WWII was probably not too legal in the UK and US.

We should take the exact same stance towards Mohammedanism.

What if it is a religion that teaches the murder of subjugation of non believers, and has a 1500 year history of backing that teaching up with action?

"...to ban a religion is simply going back to the bad old days..."

Crapola! Islam is a dangerous cult, not a religion.

Try openly saying the Rosary on the streets of Mecca, see how long you last. In territory where Islam is majority, all other religions are very much 2nd-class, if not outright banned

to ban a religion is simply going back to the bad old days

...the bad old days never launched an attack on the United States.

The bad old days never attempted to sink the Cole.

In the bad old days prior to 1979 Iranians never attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran.

In the bad old days prior to April of 1983, 63 people were not killed by a vehicle packed with high explosives that was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. Six months later a truck loaded with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen were killed. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives was driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

.

In April 1985 a bomb exploded in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

in August a Volkswagen loaded with explosives was driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 people were killed. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

Fifty-nine days later a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro was hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair was singled out of the passenger list and executed. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

Lets also not forget the bombing of TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killing 259. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days">

The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists were arrested after a rented van packed with explosives was driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people were killed and over 1000 were injured. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

in November 1995 a car bomb exploded at a US military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb exploded only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroyed the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

In a simultaneous attack on two US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the attacks were planned with precision and killed 224 people. But we can't go back to the "Bad old days".

I'm thinking that you have been reading too many "More Hugs Less War" magazines........

Nothing stupid about it, as Islam is not a legitimate religion. I have written my Congressional rep, asking for legislation banning Islam in the USA, since Islam is anti democratic, calls for the elimination, or slavery, of non believers, and in essence the elimination of Constitutional freedoms. You might want to get a copy of the Quran and read it, paying special interest on Sura #9.

I totally disagree. We banned the Shinto religion in Japan after we defeated them in WWII. The plain and cold truth of the matter is that Islam posess the single largest threat to liberty and freedom every where. These people willingness and desire to kill and die in the name of their god renders them a significant public threat. We regulate what chemicals can and cannot be used in public. Why not religion? Ban Islam. Jail it's practishioners. Execute those who call for jihad.
