Only the Muslims. When radical Jews and Christians commit terrorist attacks and mass murder in the name of their religion then I'd agree. Until then, only Muslims.

No, but wouldn't it be nice if the fundamentally stupid were. Pretty much would take care of the groups you mentioned.

No. Who would decide what's fundamentalism and what's not. If PC viewpoints were the correct ones, Christianity would be de facto banned while atheism and Islam would get free reign.

Why even consider banning them. This country we call so free should not get into the practice of letting any one ban anyone. Once that starts, who is next on that chopping block, to what extent does the ban go? Are your ready to release information on yourself to the government to check on? This would bring back McCarthyism with people being persecuted because a neighbor said so and so is an Orthodox Jew, Muslim or a native islander believing in their own way. Next would be to shove what ever religion is dominant down their throats till they choke or submit. Freedom of and from religion. We have the right to believe in what we desire and to not believe if we feel that way. It seems as if christians are so concerned about losing their masses that they want to force all to be like them, to believe the same god, the same book the same rules laid down by that book. That is tyranny of the majority rulers, not equality. If the next administration enacts bans on gays, religion or on birth control, they will start a revolution on a grand scale. I thought we were the Land of the Free, not the land of the opressed.

More than silly, it would be unconstitutional.

You're leaving out the athiests. The athiest regimes of stalin, mao, pol pot, kim il sung, kim jong il, and the new twerp are directly responsible for the deaths of some 100 million people and counting.
