We do indeed have a problem with giving a free pass to anything that can bill itself as a religion. The idea that an EVIL religion could exist, or a package deal in which an EVIL ideology contains a religion is far beyond the mental reach of most of our compatriots -- at every level of education and society.
And frankly, I'm not sure that our founders anticipated the problem in any specific way.
And it's true. Decent normal Americans have a real aversion to violence here at home. And in this case it's inconvenient as the bastards behind that mosque don't understand or respect anything but physical violence.
I'm sure there is something more descriptive. First you must name an evil to be able to fight it.
Now, I don't believe every Muslim is evil just like I don't believe every Truther is evil. It's the belief system I don't like.
Hamas, which is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood has been formally designated a terrorist organization under our law for many years. According to its charter, Hamas's purpose is to create an Islamic Palestinian state by eliminating Israel through violent jihad.
The Muslim Brotherhood explained in an internal memorandum that their work in the United States was as a 'grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.' The Brotherhood said its tactic would be 'sabotage.'
The 1991 memorandum elaborates that every city should have an 'axis' and 'perimeter' from which this jihad-by-sabotage strategy is headquartered. That axis will be known as 'the Islamic Center.' Islamic centers are to become 'the 'base' for our rise, the memo says. They are to be the focal point of education, preparation, and the 'supply of our battalions.' Battalions are small cells of fighters. In Muslim Brotherhood ideology it is assumed that, at a certain mature point, when Muslim forces are strong enough, violent jihad will be effective. And Islamists prepare for it. Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, the spiritual guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, has proclaimed that 'dawa', the stealth form of jihad, is the method by which Islam will 'conquer America' and 'conquer Europe.'
The Saudis have been underwriting the Brotherhood's dawa efforts for decades.
