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! ;>>
Swarthy Guy, that’s a timely quote. It does stand to reason that it is right, at least IMO.
Thank you.
