For starters we need to begin to reject the idea that Islam is a legitimate religion.
THAT is close. However, you can't just pronounce it not "legitimate religion", you would have make the bigger point that it is also a political system with its Sharia Law dictates. The keyword is "Law".
That's what our pundits should be talking about. Since it operates entirely outside of our Constitutional Law and U.S. Code, it is inherently illegal and its objectives are obviously to replace our system of government. That would not be a problem to espouse if the politicians just left out the word religion. Sharia Law advocates are plain ole insurrectionists, and every Mosque has its Immans promoting such. We have laws to arrest anyone who incites insurrection.
The U.S. Code speaks directly to any attempt to replace/overthrow our system and Sharia Law does so blatantly. There-in lies the political power against the muslim cult. Guess our politicians are too stupid or gun-shy to bring it up. But it's a game winner if anyone were to phrase it correctly. I'll try later...or you posters can give it whirl...
