How would you determine what a mosque was? What if the Muslims took to meeting in the basements of their homes? Please answer.

Driving Mohammedans out of a land is a tricky business. Ask the Spanish. It took hundreds of years to drive the Moors out of Spain. You may have heard about it.

BTW, since the Church has been attacked for hundreds of years regarding the Crusades, perhaps it's time the Church was given some credit for it.

In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imâm. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of success against the "Infidel". Medieval and modern Mohammedan, especially Turkish, persecutions of both Jews and Christians are perhaps the best illustration of this fanatical religious and political spirit.

Was it the Protestants who drove the Mohammedans out of Europe?

So, would you agree to a Religion Police who had the power to root out who was a Muslim and who not? What would you do with Christians and other Patriots who aided their fellow Americans who were Muslims? Nobody's willing to answer these questions. They're more than willing to add commentary but not to answer these specific questions.

How would you do it? How would you round up the Muslims who were also American citizens? And from what authority would it come? Congress? President? Constitutional Ammendment? Vigilantism? The soldier in me wants to know these things. It's easy to pop off about "Round 'em up! Kill 'em all!" But I want to know the details. Which freedoms are you willing to give up? How much power are you willing to cede to the gov't in order to make this happen? Religion Gestapo? Is that what you want?

I'm just asking a simple question. If you answer, you will be the first person on several threads to have done so.

BTW, I have nothing against Catholics or the Crusades. Why are you telling me about it? I'm simply playing the Devil's Advocate here and asking people to get a little deeper into what they want than the actual sentiment (ie- asking them to not act like liberals but instead to actually explain how what they want will work)
