A '''Muslim registry''' would be a government-maintained database where people whose country of origin [[Islam]] is the dominant [[political]] and legal system, or people who identify as adherents to Islam and reside in or are visiting the country maintaining the database. The claimed purpose would be to preventing Muslim terrorism in the host country. It has been repeatedly discussed in the United States following the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] that were carried out by [[Islamic terrorist]]s. People who oppose such a registry claim that it violates the [[First Amendment]] right to freedom of religion.

The problem is divided in two parts, (1) people who enter tbe country (whether legally or illegally) usually on a temporary basis, such as viditors, tourists or students; and (2) those seeking naturalized citizenship status. Ideological tests are as old as US immigration law. Indeed, immigration statutes originated in the 1920s to [[regulation|regulate]], and prevent, [[Bolshevik]]s and [[anarchist]]s who advocated the violent overthrow of the United States government from entering the country.
