The police and AG, however, are worried that Rav Lior was going to incite mass murder and terrorism, which for anyone who knows him (I do), is ridiculous. But as long as they're going to question people who express Halachic views which the government fears might lead to violence, why not call in Imams and Sheikhs who openly advocate warfare and genocidal murder. Hell, why not just arrest them and have done?

The problem here is that frum Judaism and the Israeli government are officially and legally intertwined to an extent unknown in the US.
It's more analogous to the status of Anglicanism in England in the 1800s than to current American experience.
