The French interior minister(click here) is calling for the “dissolution of mosques where hate is preached” throughout the country in the wake of Friday’s horrific terrorist attack in Paris, saying that the “state of emergency should allow us to act more rapidly” in disbanding worship communities.
According to MSNBC, Bernard Cazeneuve made the suggestion during an interview with French television on Sunday, speaking about possible emergency measures to be taken after a band of ISIS-affiliated assailants launched an assault on the French capital city that left at least 132 dead and hundreds more wounded....

A Syrian-born Islamist cleric (click here) who taught one of the men accused of hacking to death an off-duty British soldier on a London street praised the attack for its "courage" and said Muslims would see it as a strike on a military target.

In
an interview in Tripoli, northern Lebanon, where he has lived since
being banished from Britain in 2005, Omar Bakri, founder of banned
British Islamist group Al Muhajiroun, said he knew suspect Michael
Adebolajo from his lectures a decade ago.
"When I saw the footage I recognized the face immediately," Bakri told Reuters. "I used to know him. A quiet man, very shy, asking lots of questions about Islam."...
In the USA: (Bob Corker of Tennessee will endorse policies of exile. He has already threatened the US Senate if they don't pass the US House bill to bar refugee resettlement. I don't know what he means by his threat.)
The US for instance had a very difficult time finding a place to relocate the Uighur deatainees from Guantanamo even thought they were generally thought to be not a threat.

...Sixteen states (click here) have constitutional provisions prohibiting banishment, and appeals courts in many others have outlawed the practice. Although it remains on the books in a handful of states—the Tennessee Constitution permits exile, and Maryland’s Constitution specifically prescribes banishment as a punishment for corruption—appeals courts usually overturn sentences of exile. There has been only one recent case of banishment from a state: In 2000, a Kentucky judge banished a domestic abuser from the state for one year. (The case never reached the state’s high court.) The District of Columbia has no constitution, and its statutes don’t mention banishment, so the legality of Grogan’s exile is unclear. Judges typically get wider discretion in prescribing conditions of bail than in sentencing, but there is a strong trend toward invalidating interstate banishment under any circumstances....
