Peaceful preaching inside, violent message outside a New York mosque

New York (CNN) —

SNIPPET: “Protected by the Constitution of the country they detest, radical Muslim converts like Yousef al-Khattab and Younes Abdullah Mohammed preach that the killing of U.S. troops overseas is justified. In their thinking, so were the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States — and so are attacks on almost any American.

“Americans will always be a target — and a legitimate target — until America changes its nature in the international arena,” Mohammed said in an interview to air on tonight’s “AC 360.”

Al-Khattab and Mohammed consider al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden their model.”

SNIPPET: “What interpretation of Islam influenced Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan? As often before, the trail leads to the official sect of Saudi Arabia — known as Wahhabism to most of us of who denounce it.

Confronting the role of radical Islam here is not Islamophobic, but common sense — and the first response moderate Muslims themselves will have.

Hasan, though born in America, refused to have his picture taken with women — an attitude distinct to fundamentalist radicalism among Muslims. The Prophet Mohammed cautioned his followers that when they go to live in non-Muslim lands they must accept the laws and customs of their new home. Millions of American Muslims get their picture taken with women, even ones not their wives, and don’t worry about it. To refuse such an elementary and even trivial act of courtesy sets Muslims apart — and that is the aim of radicals.”
