Oh please. I support the U.S. Constitution. And proposing the outlawing of a religion is anathema to the Constitution.

Your solution to a group who supposedly wants to destroy the constitution is to... well... destroy the constitution. A pity your logical train of thought isn’t picking up on that.

You're not fooling anyone here. The vast majority of muslims currently in the USA came here from somewhere else. If they became naturalized citizens, they were required to take an oath similar to the following:

Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America
Oath
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
If they did not become naturalized citizens, they came to the USA on some sort of visa, and some rules of behavior apply. If they don't like the way our government is structured, they can just leave or be sent away.

In neither case are they granted the right to subvert the US Constitution or our system of laws and justice.

Such intent at subversion by immigrants amounts to illegal infiltration, or invasion, and our Constitution and laws do have provisions for repelling or ejecting such groups, although our current laws pertaining to such are not being enforced.

For US citizens who join such a subversive group, there are separate laws that pertain to their actions.

Enforcing the US Constitional provisions for repelling invasions, or enforcing our existing laws, does not destroy the US Constitution.

You are talking about two totally different things. Enforcing and strengthening immigration laws and rules is totally different than “banning a religion”. I’m all for kicking out those who aren’t supposed to be here. Thats perfectly constitutional. “Banning a religion”, which was the initial suggestion, is not.
