you are not looking far enough down the time line, sharia is there law, they live and breath it.!!! do you think the constitution will have much weight when they populate this country to the 30 percent range
No, it's not possible to "drum out" American citizens based on their strong opinions (religious belief is personal opinion). The Constitution protects us from ignorant ghouls.
Were Christian Opinionists a minority group, you would be thankful that the Constitution was defending your opinion as well.
So, there is no problem. The Constitution is still in effect, there is still freedom of religion, and you still have free speech (which you are exercising, freely). Pointless thread!
This is important.... people forget it, and even actively fight against it (see this thread, and their misguided opinion of the ACLU).

We've had the "Muslim Population Takeover" debate in other threads, so don't consider yourself unique when I shut you down:
For Muslim Americans (moderates, radicals, and all others) to even come close to a majority demographic, they would need to convert other Americans at an astounding (unbelievable) rate. Pew Research puts the number of Muslims at 2.5 million. Numbers vary, because the number is so small compared to other religious groups that the Census counts them in the group with "All Others." Hardly an imminent threat.
To put that in perspective, there are around 232.5 million Christians in this country today (75% of 310 million total citizens). So what is 2.5 million from 232.5 million? Say it with me now: 230 million. That is how many people must be converted (assuming the population never grows) for Muslims to carry the same religious power in America that Christians currently maintain. Boy, you can just feel the crisis upon us!
Assuming that tomorrow, 75% of the population wakes up and decides that they are Muslim... So what? Our constitution allows them that right. We are not a mob democracy. The spectrum of religious celebration and freedom plays infront of our faces every day in America. It's part of being American.
As far as Sharia law goes, this law (like all religious text) must be interpreted by the people who practice it. There are as many shades of sharia as there are Christian denominations. Moderate Muslims are not extremists, hence the title Moderate. There have been Muslims in this country since before you were born, and they have businesses, raise families, and pay their taxes just like other Americans, every day. It wasn't a big deal until some slippery fool at News Corp told his minions on Fox to start hating on a very small religious minority, right before an election, so fearful voters would turn out, lest "Sharia law" be enacted in San Francisco, Detroit, Dallas, and Virginia Beach.

It's obvious the general public doesn't want them around. Is it possible to drum them out completely? If you put the question on a national ballot, would it pass? We could always round them up and send them to Mexico or Canada.
You sound like a Nazi talking about Jews prior to World War II. You and people who think like are like a cancer upon this country.
Of course you are not biting, why would you? After all, you have no idea why anyone would make such a comparison - it's just the usual liberal/leftist rambling.
He's absolutely right, though.
You are simply proposing another version of "Rassenpolitik" - perhaps they could name the new law to expel Muslims (and declare them no longer citizens of the US) the "Kentucky Law" in lieu of Nürnberg Law - in honor of your location.
Other than the subject of your hatred, you don't even need to change anything in the law - you can take it just as is, simply substituting "Muslim" for "Jew," and inserting "American/USA" for "German/Germany." Done!
You don't see that, now do you?
If you do and still think you have something valid going here, perhaps you are far beyond any help.
Alas, perhaps you are simply asking a hypothetical question based on the blind hatred stated by some here on C-D...
