I wouldn't be surprised if he has to have personal protection for his family and himself. These nutjob extremists can't be liking what he is saying.
Too bad the TSA didn't think of that first.
There must be some sort of parallel effort to dumb down people who follow islam (especially in this country...
Where if they believe that when the next attack occurs in this country, that they will not suffer any serious reprisals...
You would think that some, like Mr. Jasser, would rally with him and get these types of imams to change their tune, before everyone suffers...
But as I figure it out...I do not think there is sufficient courage within the rank and file of the followers of islam to make those fundamental changes and condemnations...
This is the Minnesota Guys, right? and not the ‘six Muslims who were in the US Army who caused trouble on a plane and were removed.’?? Hard to keep the thug-groups straight, sorry.
Still upholding Muhammad as a righteous one. Not buying the good muslim spin. Muslims lie.
BUMP!
The good doctor is a Trojan horse in our midst.

This is a good authoritative overview. Especially in naming the organizations involved. Like other posters I firmly believe the Flying Imams conspired with CAIR in advance of the cafefully-planned incident.
The author did cite that the obvious overreaching bullying by CAIR and the gang has given their victim-status a deathblow in public opinion and caused other muslims-in-america to backpeddle from them. However, as long as the Administration and various elected officials kowtow to them; as long as their Saudi gravy keeps flowing and as long as the lazy MSM keeps going to them for easy quotes they will not be going away.
Like everybody else here, I am sick and tired of this magical, wink-wink, nudge-nudge de facto exemption that mosques and black churches get from the IRS rules that enforce separation of church and state in our country and I would like to see this actually imposed evenhandedly for once.
The author makes clear—in case we did not already know—that there is no Vatican-style hirearchy in Islam and these islamist organizations are doing their best to try and impose one in America. I’m not going to pick and parse ‘ol Peace-be-upon-his-ass’s quotes, just say that there appears to be an opportunity in America for a democratic, secular, non-violent islam to evolve but a little enforcement action on the part of the gummint would be most welcom (i.e. kick out the foreign hate-mongers, crack down on the terrorist money-launderers and chop off the saudi wahabist tentacles).

Great post, nuconvert! I'm all for religious pluralism, not just religious tolerance. It's what America is all about, what the First Amendment is all about. I'm encouraged to learn that there are Muslims in America who value the American concept of the separation of church and state. This key tenet of American political order is a good thing to keep in mind, in the run-up to the 2008 election. I thought Romney's speech yesterday was spot-on in articulating this very theme.
FYI, Mark....
Flying Imams and more.
Good read by a Muslim who gets it. Thanks to Sageb1 for the heads up.
“Countering Islamism and combating Islamist terrorism should be a greater public responsibility for the organized American Muslim community than the obsession with civil rights and victimization in which current Islamist organizations engage. Americans living in fear for their security are looking to moderate, traditional Muslims to lead this fight. The credibility of the Muslim community suffers because groups such as CAIR, ISNA, and the North American Imams Federation deny the interplay between Islamism and terrorism.”
