As long as Islam is recognized as a religion instead of a form of brainwashing inflicted on the stupidest of the stupid we will all be at risk.
If you take away the Saudi money, much of the problem, at least here in the US, disappears.
I live in an area where there has been a lot of immigrants from the Middle East (mainly Muslim) for years. It seems that each generation gets a lot more americanized.. Only my observation..
People are going to have to find out up close and personal the fruits of Islam with more than just 9/11.
wouldn’t need the mosques if there were no muslims in the country
the solution is obvious
Who’s paying for them? I guess the same people who’s paying for all the expensive franchises being bought by muslims.
Another question I’d like answered is WHY are we allowing muslims in by the boat load? And this started way before obama.
Double negative redundancy? They're neither *places of worship* nor *peaceful*; all they're missing is American muslim and it'd be a *triple negative redundant* sentence.
I wonder if there is such a thing in English?
LOL.

Excellent! Hadn’t heard that one before, JH, but you NAILED IT!
Our government has already burned bibles and condemned burning of the koran.

“In 2000, theU.S.reported 1209 places of worship for Muslims. In 2010, that number has risen to 2106. In 1990, the number stood at approximately 700. “
The number of enemy bases in our country has increased substantially.
The New York Slimes ran an anti-Catholic full page ad last weekend, but when someone approached them about an anti-Muslim ad, they refused.
Figure that bias into their point of view.
The move away from the light and into the darkness of John 3. Seriously — read that chapter of John in the Bible!
IOW, don't hold yer breath.

Looks like a cricket.
Remember America is ARMED and there are those who take their 2nd Amendment very, very serously.
Not sure if you saw this new book by someone who understands the threat & explains who failed us:
Battle for Our Minds
Western Elites and the Terror Threat
by Michael Widlanski
Description
After thousands of people were murdered in simultaneous terror attacks on September 11, 2001, the New York Times said the violence came “out of the blue.” Nothing could have been further from the truth.
Arab-Islamic terrorists had been attacking the West for years but the reports were dismissed as the work of “madmen” and, in fact, all the while recruiters and fund-raisers for Arab-Islamic terror were receiving academic and economic sanctuary in some of America’s most esteemed institutions. Had Osama bin Laden been held accountable in 1992, 1996, and 1998, and had his followers been called out, his Al-Qaeda network wouldn’t have become a clarion call for anti-Western terror. Now as new attacks, aborted and otherwise, are carried out from London to Mumbai to New York’s Times Square, Western elites—academia, the media, and government officials—have once again been fueling that same dangerous complacency that is leaving us as vulnerable as before.
In Battle for Our Minds, Michael Widlanski delivers a powerful and sound argument for turning around this willful ignorance, and explains exactly how it can be done: by facing and genuinely understanding the precise motives and mind games behind those who want to destroy us. He names the officials, media pundits, and academics who have hindered the battle against Islamic terror, in turn obstructing a logical fight to stop it. Clearly, a lack of factual accuracy is sabotaging the Western mind, and Widlanski’s anger is justified: Why has an all-out “holy war” been softened into the more liberally acceptable “spiritual struggle”? Why, pre-9/11, were the terrorist threats made in New York City mosques ignored? Why did we go out of our way to give bin Laden a proper burial out of respect to an ideology that erased the World Trade Center? Why is President Barack Obama so hesitant to offend the enemy by calling it what it is: Islamic Extremist Terror? How can we stop it if, out of a weak and outrageous political correctness, we refuse to even recognize it?
Dr. Widlanski lays out a commonsense, no-holds-barred solution to an imperative and increasingly dangerous global dilemma. This is not a witch hunt, nor a temporary Band-Aid, but a comprehensive strategy built around a hard-hitting truth carefully omitted from every liberal media outlet, and downplayed, overlooked, and incorrectly assessed by the FBI, CIA, and the State Department: terrorist “martyrs” want to change the course of history. By convincing them that their acts are futile, the tide turns and we can prevent further acts—and win the battle for our minds.

IGNORING OR BELITTLING THE EXTREMIST IDEOLOGIES SPARKING TERRORISM IS ITSELF AN IDEOLOGY— THE WESTERN IDEOLOGY OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. THIS IDEOLOGY HAS ALREADY COST MANY LIVES.
Several European leaders have recently shown that they are moving away from the politically correct path that avoids criticizing Islamic extremism and instead has enshrined it as part of multiculturalism. German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Nikolas Sarkozy, and British prime minister David Cameron, all of whom have large Muslim minorities in their countries, have now said that that path is a dead end.
After the London bombings then–prime minister Tony Blair said the war with Arab-Islamic terror was a battle whose roots were ideological: “This is the battle that must be won, a battle not just about the terrorist methods but their views. Not just their barbaric acts, but their barbaric ideas. Not only what they do but what they think and the thinking they would impose on others.”
Fortunately, a growing number of Western leaders is starting to recognize ideology as a key to Arab-Islamic terror. To fight terror we need also to combat these ideological motivators directly in what has sometimes been called “the battle of ideas.”
