This is an excellent idea; if only the required supermajority of states could be persuaded to vote affirmatively and Congress had the wisdom and backbone to vote it into law. Unfortunately, the media and academia and the majority of the politicos are so awash in multicultural relativism that they perceive Islamofascism to be just another religion, just as deserving of respect and condescension as any of the other belief systems, regardless of the fact that Islamists have the avowed intent of imposing sharia law on all of the "infidel" countries and imposing a worldwide caliphate, using every means at their disposal to do it.

Freedom of speech and freedom of religion should not apply to a fascist belief system; would we have been so obsequious towards the Nazis and the Communists? In my opinion, we are facing an even greater threat now; at least the earlier fascist and communist leaders believed in self-preservation and could be deterred on that basis. Mark Steyn wrote an excellent book on the problems Europe and the other western civilizations face in "America Alone", which should be "must" reading for all Americans.
