Declaration of War against Islam

I believe it is time for America and the Western world to clarify things by declaring war against Islam. Here are my thoughts and the proposed Declaration:
I saw the movie Obsession last week, and even though I read alot about the radical islamist threat, the movie scared and motivated me more than usual, so here's an idea.
A frequent topic re Muslims is that our legal system is inadequate to deal with the threat. Our criminal justice code and immigration laws and procedures were not designed to handle issues of this magnitude. So, for example, when I discuss with others the implementation of a policy to identify, take into custody, and deport radical Muslims, most people usually agree with the concept. Very few of us want individuals who are correctly identified as radical Muslims to live in the United States. So how do we legally get from here (currently allowing radical islamists freedom of movement within the country) to there (legally deporting them)?
I think the legal means to that end is a Declaration of War against Islam. OK, OK,
I know a Declaration of War is normally directed against a country, not against a movement or a part of a religion. But I think having a document in front of us may help move this forward. The stategy would be:
1. to draft such a resolution
2. to distribute to our Congressmen (as in "see, look at this") or place full-page advertisement in the newspapers, or hand it out at rallies, etc.
3. to have one or two Congressmen introduce the Declaration, and then watch the interest and sponsors grow.

For all I know, a sample document may have already been written. If anyone can give me the reference, please do so in the comments below. If this document has not yet been written, perhaps there are attorneys out there who can help. As reference, take a look at the Declarations of War by the US Congress for World War I and World War II.

DECLARATION OF WAR WITH ISLAM

Joint Resolution Declaring that a State of War exists between Islam and the Government and People of the United States and making provisions to prosecute same.

Whereas the extraterritorial movement known as Islam has planned, advocated, and committed unprovoked acts of War against the people of the United States of America

Whereas, numerous representatives of said Islam have announced that their exists a State of War between Islam and the United States,

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, that a State of War now exists between Islam and the United States and is hereby formally declared. The President is authorized and directed to employ the military forces of the United States as needed and the resources of the Government to carry on the war against Islam. Further, recognizing the danger posed by individuals who are loyal to Islam who are now or may in the future be residing in the United States and its territories, the President and the Attorney General of the United States are hereby authorized to identify such individuals, take them into preventive custody, and deport them from the United States.

For purposes of this Declaration, individuals adhering to Islam are defined as those advocating or supporting jihad attacks and the institution of Sharia law for Muslims now living in the United States.
