I lived in Thailand for a couple of years. Every Thai has to carry an identification card. Every expat, like me, was supposedly required to carry their passport (although apparently a copy of the passport was temporarily acceptable). I had to go to the immigration office to report my current address every third month. I had to show bank accounts every so often. Nobody really thought much about it...other than the inconvenience.
Thailand's army staged a coup in 2014, enacting martial law and throwing out the country's constitution. I don't really think Thailand is the place to turn to for answers on how to run a government.
But even if it was, it doesn't sound like your registration/identity card had anything to do with your religion.

My point is that many counties have more stringent identification regulations than do we. Besides, I didn't say anything about religion. Did I?
Whether you like my post is irrelevant. Having more stringent identification procedures -- particularly for non-citizens -- in the United States is not, to me, oppressive. We don't need to ask about their religion. They should be able to prove which country they are a citizen of. We should have an active list of people who are not citizens...and that list should be available to law enforcement.
Yes but the good news they can all buy guns, what a country.
As they should be able to. Until there is due process associated with that list, there is no reason to deny them their rights. Which of their other rights are you in favor of restricting on this guilty until proven innocent list?

So how would you propose having a Muslim registry without asking someone their religion? Would you just base it on their looks? Their country of origin? What about if they were American born, do you go off of their parents or grandparents country of origin? What if they are no longer a Muslim, does that not matter because of where their parents came from and what they look like?

I don't propose a Muslim registry.
I propose a registry of all non-citizens with basic information about their country of origin and a few other key facts to be determined.
I think making a registry of Muslims crosses the line, unless you are going to make a registry of people in each religion.
So you want to deport American citizens? Where would you even deport a natural born citizen?
To whatever Country or Continent they belong in!!!
