Meh, banning physical items is lame. People who are really brave ban behaviors. Shitty behaviors. Or at least hold extremist Muslims to the same account as everyone else. Very few people have the bravery, even among people who are brave enough to ban an item.

We and Morroco need the bravery to put a man in jail who tells a women not to go to a coffee shop instead of going tisk. We and morroco need the bravery to investigate if a muslim does something violent to investigate if his mosque or his imam has encouraged or incited violence and lock him up and shut down the mosque.

I'm for freedom of religion but this is the standard churches needed to follow from the founding and was the intent of the founders. They never expected freedom of religion to be an exception to any and all other laws. While in American past enforcement hasn't been inconsistent, it has always been the legal doctrine that a minister that incites violence or preaches it can be thrown in jail. If Muslims teach that the koran should be applied exactly as is than by incorporation by reference they are preaching speech that does not have a religious exception.

In other words, the fact that a person's speech is religious does not elevate it. The fact that it is religious means it can't be censored as such, not explicit banning of a religion, but the words carry the same responsibility as if they were not religious. Saying you should perform the acts suggested in a book which would be illegal is illegal.
