Aside from that being a perfect setup for a whole lot of future trouble -- may I remind you of this little bit: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; (...)"
Pretty easy to do, stop considering it as a religion, consider it an ideology that is not supported by the US.
The U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act still makes ineligible for permanent residence a person who “is or has been a member of or affiliated with” the Communist Party. INA § 212(a)(3)(D). Given that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has some 80 million members, this ground of ineligibility is a key issue for immigration lawyers representing Chinese clients.
A person may be ineligible for a green card (i.e., inadmissible) due to membership in the CCP or other organizations “affiliated” with the CCP, such as China’s minor political parties or mass organizations (e.g., Communist Youth League, All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, All-China Federation of Trade Unions, All-China Women’s Federation, etc.). See id. Such organizations are led by the Party, which uses them to penetrate the society at large and encourage popular support for Party policies.

Other then Islam being viewed as a religion, actions by its followers use the same tactics as by those who follow what is called Communism.
In the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, the West has again asked itself what it can do to stop Islamic extremism — while it is actively supporting Saudi Arabia, the world’s principal proselytizer of Islamic extremism.
If it is truly interested in stopping terrorism, then, the U.S. and the rest of the West will heed Chomsky’s advice. The U.S. will realize that there really is an easy way to stop terrorism: It will stop participating in it, and end its alliance with Saudi Arabia.

Very interesting in the way human rights are talked about in China, vs things that happen and are condoned in Saudi Arabia......
It would seem the chopping off of heads is a pretty common practice there. When ISIS uses it, its condemned but no mention of the 47 people who lost their heads this yr there... In fact
In September 2015, President Obama commended “the longstanding friendship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.” President Obama’s administration has in fact moved the U.S. even closer to the Saudi regime, particularly in the realm of military coordination. In the past five years, the U.S. has done more than $100 billion in arms deals with the Saudi monarchy.
