Again, you can only been the act of murder
There's no way of banning them from holding the belief that they should murder everyone

if every muslim was in support of bombing innocent people and all that crap then i'd be happy to put a ban on them, and so would everyone else

The point you're missing is that you have no way of feasibly knowing if someone holds a belief. The best you can do is to ask them, to which of course they can just lie.
So if you wanted to ban Islam, you could ban the practice: close down Mosques, ban the Quran, outlaw Islam's specific prayer practices and clothing, etc. But you can't dig into someone's mind and determine with 100% accuracy if they believe something.

It's basically a problem of enforcing the ban
