[null and void]

We may have serious problems, but the possibility of radical Islam coming to power is not one of them.

Are you willing to bet your children and your country on that? If so, it logically follows that you believe we have no business trying to stop the spread of militant islam.

[Wallace T.]

An apt comparison may be made between radical Islam and Nazism. During the 1930s and early 1940s, there were certainly American supporters of Nazism, such as the German-American Bund, and like-minded fascist and white supremacist groups like the Silver Shirts and the Black Legion. However, the overall support for such groups was minimal, and while they deserved surveillance and were indeed spied upon, they never posed any significant ability to overthrow the Federal government. The principal threat from Nazism was external, that is, from the armed forces of Nazi Germany and its Japanese ally.
