I actually like your idea, it is time to put the money where the mouths are.

But it is critically important that anyone who does this is totally and unswervingly polite through the entire effort. Any slipup, commentary on hygiene, practices, "you worship the moon", etc. will completely boomerang, and give the libs/activists/media the little slip they seek to turn it around and decry it as fascist intimidation tactics. No better way to torpedo the message and create another faux-victimhood story than that. Professional is everything. It is the best way to get voluntary cooperation, and reduce some fears of cooperation that some may have.

General suggestions:

a) Print out on high quality printer, the graphics of your post #16 (showing the Wanted Seven);

b) Run off a bunch of copies, expanded in size.

c) Freepers call every imagineable mosque in America, starting with ones within driving distance. [Use the Yellow Pages.]

d) Be polite in the following request: Tell them you would like to come down to the mosque and place this up on their community board.

e) Record the name of any and all mosques which hem and haw, doubletalk, refuse, are defensive, or are less than commital in response to this reasonable, patriotic request.

f) Spread the names of any and all uncooperative mosques on a running thread here on Free Republic and/or on talk radio, in letters to the editor, in community forums, etc. etc.

A lot has been said about Muslims in the United States, and C.A.I.R. and others say they have been unfairly painted as being as less patriotic than the rest of us. It figures that if any of the Wanted Seven have recently been in or near a mosque in the USA, they can be apprehended more easily through this grassroots approach. So now is the time for Islam in America to stop the whining about persecution, cooperate in this effort, and PROVE THEIR LOYALTY. Their patriotic assistance will go a long way in establishing the goodwill and acceptance they seek. However, their intransigence, well, they'll just have to deal with the public relations fallout over THAT.

Agreed.

Professional and polite are the key words. The main point is we want them to put the photos up, rather than shame them and prove some kind of point. If it results in the terrorists capture, we are all winners, and they, the American mosques who cooperated, can get some of the credit.

I would urge any Freepers who thought they might not be able to control themselves, to stay away from this exercise, and leave it up to those of us who can get it done correctly, with that tactical aspect fully in mind, which you illustrated well.
