Mitch, a 100% ban applied to every muslim would make border control the instrument of other authorities. Namely those who claim the authority to declare someone a muslim. Their claim followed by the automatic and uncompromising refusal by Western border control entry would in effect surrender border control to external forces. Merely by declaring someone a muslim that force would decide over entry or refusal.
