My problem is with laying the blame on an entire culture of people for the actions of a few.
To say "ban all Muslims" is to ban a thought, a belief. One doesn't have to be foreign to be a Muslim, one doesn't even need to be black. I could be a Muslim, I'm white British. If I decide to believe in Allah, does that make me unwelcome in USA? What if I decide to believe in Santa? It's ok for me to believe in something only children and retards believe in, but it's not ok for me to believe something that 1.5 billion adults believe in?
You can't ban a religion. You can't ban someone from believeing in fairies. You need to have more than "this person is Muslim", at least if you want to have any credibility when it comes to defending your principles of freedom.
