(I decided to repost this article because I think this is a start, a beginning of something that the West might need to adopt to fight the enemy that is Islam, not radical Muslims, ISLAM! This ammendment that follows was not written by either me or the Anti-Jihadist. And I must say, its not perfect at all. There are a lot of things that can be written differently. However, the core of the ammendment is solid and it takes us somewhere.
Honestly, I don't see this ammendment passing at all, the way things are right now. However, in all honesty again, I don't see us winning this war unless someone in power decides to grow a pair and take stern action!
Let me know what you guys think and if you like it then also let me know how to make this constitutional ammendment better.)

Background and justification to Amendment 28
Whereas Religion is defined as an institution dedicated to improving social conscience and promoting individual and societal spiritual growth in a way that is harmless to others not participating in or practicing the same;
Whereas the United States of America was founded on the ideals of individual rights, including the individual right to practice one’s religion of choice, or no religion, and that there would be no compulsion of religion, nor state sanctioned religion, nor a “religious test” for participation in the body politic;
Whereas Islam includes a complete political and social structure, encompassed by its religious law, Sharia, that supersedes any civil law and that Islam mandates that no secular or democratic institutions are to be superior to Islamic law;
Whereas Islam preaches that it and it alone is the true religion and that Islam will dominate the world and supplant all other religions and democratic institutions;
Whereas Saudi Arabia, the spiritual home of Islam does not permit the practice of any other religion on its soil and even “moderate” Muslims states such as Turkey and Malaysia actively suppress other religions;
Whereas Islam includes as its basic tenet the spread of the faith by any and all means necessary, including violent conquest of non-believers, and demands of its followers that they implement violent jihad (holy war) against those un-willing to convert or submit to Islam, including by deception and subversion of existing institutions;
Whereas on 9/11/2001 19 Muslim hijackers acting in the name of Islam killed 3,000 Americans, and numerous other acts of terrorism have been directed at the American people around the world;
Whereas representatives of Islam around the world including Osama Bin Laden (architect of 9/11), the government of Iran including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, HAMAS, Hezbollah, and other Islamic groups have declared jihad (war) on America, and regularly declare that America should cease to exist;
Whereas there is no organized Islamic opposition to violent proponents of Islam;
Therefore: Islam is not a religion, but a political ideology more akin to Fascism and totally in opposition to the ideals of freedom as described in the United States Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights.
Be it resolved that the following Amendment to the Constitution be adopted:
Article I
The social/political/ideological system known around the world as Islam is not recognized in the United States as a religion.
The practice of Islam is therefore not protected under the 1st Amendment as to freedom of religion and speech.
Article II
As representatives of Islam around the world have declared war, and committed acts of war, against the United States and its democratic allies around the world, Islam is hereby declared an enemy of the United States and its practice within the United States is now prohibited.
Article III
Immediately upon passage of this Amendment all Mosques, schools and Muslim places of worship and religious training are to be closed, converted to other uses, or destroyed. Proceeds from sales of such properties may be distributed to congregations of said places but full disclosure of all proceeds shall be made to an appropriate agency as determined by Congress. No compensation is to be offered by Federal or State agencies for losses on such properties however Federal funding is to be available for the demolishing of said structures if other disposition cannot be made.
The preaching of Islam in Mosques, Schools, and other venues is prohibited. The subject of Islam may be taught in a post high school academic environment provided that instruction include discussion of Islam’s history of violence, conquest, and its ongoing war on democratic and other non-Islamic values.
The preaching or advocating of Islamic ideals of world domination, destruction of America and democratic institutions, jihad against Judaism, Christianity and other religions, and advocating the implementation of Sharia law shall in all cases be punishable by fines, imprisonment, deportation, and death as prescribed by Congress. Violent expressions of these and other Muslim goals, or the material support of those both in the United States and around the world who seek to advance these Islamic goals shall be punishable by death.
Muslims will be denied the opportunity to immigrate to the United States.
Article IV
Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as authorizing the discrimination against, of violence upon, nor repudiation of the individual rights of those Americans professing to be Muslim. The individual right of conscience is sacrosanct and the practice of Islam within the privacy of home and self is strictly protected to the extent that such individuals do not violate the prohibitions described in Article III.

For the record.
I understand where u r coming from, but I am totally against this.
TOTALLY
The only question remaining would be 'who's next'?
Not even slightly tempting.
I agree 100% It's simply a case of all or nothing in this fight. Muslim failure to put forth any effort aside from hollow comments here and there proves this. Islam is simply incompatible with the values of this country. There are only three types of Muslims. Those who follow the religion fully (violent and oppressive), those who don't necessarily act violently and oppressively themselves but agree with it silently (indifferent), and those who aren't true Muslims and don't follow their own religion the way it's written. There's simply no reason to not do this, they prove time and again that they can't control themselves and they aren't willing to try. If you want to break things then go back to your own home and see if you can find anything left there that you haven't already broken but you don't need to come here and break ours as well.
Avenging Apostate is, of course, a Muslim apostate, now a Christian living in a Muslim country.
He really knows Islam, and hates it.
In my opinion, and perhaps this is an uneducated opinion compared to that of our friend AA, I think it would be sufficient to declare all preaching of Sharia and/or Jihad to be sedition, punishable by death or deportation to the Sharia state of the person's choice.
As far as I'm concerned, let Islam stand, defanged of Sharia and Jihad.
The only question remaining would be 'who's next'?
Why do you say that?
Pastorius,
"As far as I'm concerned, let Islam stand, defanged of Sharia and Jihad."
That would be alright, I think. But how would that happen? How do you bring that about without recognizing that there is something illegal about Islam? (namely, Shariah law and Jihad--and let us not forget that Shariah law isn't, say, 2% of Islam. Shariah law is vast, very vast!)
It would take policing of Mosques, just like we policed the Nazis and the Shinto Sun-God worshipping Japanese after WWII.
Epaminondas,
You don´t agree with Pastorius. So, what would you say? Got an idea?
Epaminondas,
Sorry, I meant you don´t agree with amendment 28 (Avenging´s Apostate topic).
Sadly your amendment is factually incorrect about Islam.
It will get shredded in any constitutional court.
There is enough evidence in The Quran to indicate that in fact unusually, Islam recognises Christianity and Judaism as bono fide religions.
If you wish to outlaw Islam then you need a more factual wording that won't be thrown out of court on its first hearing.
