Why can't we do the same here?

Why can't we do the same here?

One FReeper on another thread suggested declaring Islam a crimminal organization instead of a religion. I thought the idea was brilliant...

We should and use the RICO Act to seize mosques, prosecute Imams for crimminal conspiracy and jail or deport anyone who gets in the way...

We should be doing it here too. Some, if not most of these Imams are not even US citizens. Pull their Visas and kick them out of the country and that goes for naturalized citizens. Then imprison the rest for sedition.

Instead, Abu Qatada, who has been called "Osama bin Laden's ambassador in Europe", was held in Belmarsh jail, south-east London, for more than three years until the House of Lords said that he and a dozen other suspected foreign terrorists were being detained unlawfully.

Here again we see a man using the very umbrella of protection the country and the law provides to position himself and others to destroy that very country and set of laws. Amazing the blindness of political correctness.

The following is taken from a Muslim website (which in itself makes the figures most likely exaggerated), but it is fact that there have been many deportations from the U.S.since 9/11. What Britain is doing -- no, what they are "considering" doing -- is long overdue, but I doubt much will come of it, considering how hog-tied they are by their legalized worship of tolerance:

"Because of government secrecy, the full extent to which people have been affected must be extrapolated from media accounts and from projections based on available government reports. These extrapolations are based on the informed opinions of Muslim community leaders, human rights organizations, peace groups, and lawyers' groups. They are shown below under the column of estimates."
