Thanks for the comments. I will have to admit to being amazed what Imams can get away with in the United States. Talk of infidels in terms of blistering anyone who isn’t a Muslim should be suspect. Talk of radicalism, turning this nation into a Sharia nation should be suspect. Any talk of violence should be suspect. (this is supposed to be a melting pot, not a potters wheel)

If this is taking place, remove their ability to lead the group. Remove the tax breaks and refuse to recognize the organization as a church. If it’s a criminal organization label it as a gang and break it up. Set up statutes that make it a crime to incite from the pulpit and enforce it, or let them exit to the nation of their choice. We don’t need them.

Laws like this would have to be drafted very carefully, so other religious organizations couldn’t have their right to voice support for sound governance infringed.

It would be tough, but an essential precondition is for us to widely realize that certain Islamic schools of jurisprudence and theology, ironically the ones most popular in Saudi and Pakistan, our allies, are the worst ones out there.

There was a pithy quote from Thomas Jefferson in one of the books I’ve been reading (An Agent in Treason - Gen. James Wilkinson, by Andro Linklater.. Agent 13 in the Spanish Secret Service and CiC of the US Army during the early 19th Century!) about how we cannot allow our laws and freedoms to lead us into self destruction.

Threats to the Realm sometimes demand Transcendent Measures befitting the danger.

In other words, Free Speech and Religous Freedom should not mean letting people advocate destruction of the host country and hide behind religion to invoke exhortations of violence.

But, what the heck, we’ve banned smoking. Even that bit of Sharia compliance hasn’t bought us any points with the jihadis! ;>>

It is amazingly ironic as well that Imams, CAIR officials and others can talk openly without "official" stigma by the PTBs and MSM, yet Americans who wish to hold public discussions on the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights are demonized and labels as "extremists" by Homeland Security et al..

You should market that as a tag line or bumper sticker... /g
