Folks, closing down every mosque in this country would not solve our problem. Plus, you have to remember that Islamo-Fascism is an EXTREMIST sect of Islam. To close down all mosques in this country is to deny those Muslims who do not seek to engage in their brethren's unholy villainy a place to worship. I propose we set up security at these places to ensure that no underhanded misdealings take place. I still agree with racial profiling, but completely removing Islamic worship centers will not solve our problem, they will simply find other venues from which to communicate (the Terrorists I mean).

Imagine for a moment that a crazed sect of Christianity decided to go arbitrarily murdering people who did not believe in the faith. These extremist Christians begin to utilize Christian churches for their communication centers. What sounds better to you: 1. Completely removing ALL Christian churches from society, or 2. Sending security into these places to ensure terrorist activities are not taking place? You cannot deny the right for people to gather and worship all over the U.S. based on the actions of an extremist minority...I am positive the great majority of "good" Christians would not allow their churches to be closed over a few "bad apples".

Oh yes, and Muslims have been VERY vocal in condemning the London bombings, at least around the area in which I live...Bloomington, Indiana. These "peaceful" Islam worshipers do not identify with these extremists just as most Christians would not identify with Christian extremists who would undertake the same road as the terrorists.

We must be careful how we choose to deal with this situation, lest we become as irrational as the terrorists. Blindly closing anything and everything Muslim is not the answer. Continuing to stay this irrational course of logic will only serve to justify our opposition's arguments that we conservatives are too extreme in our thought. I understand the feelings of rage and distrust we all harbor for Islamo-Fascists, but we can not allow that to blur our vision of doing what is right for all parties involved. And from personal experience, I know the great majority of you on Freerepublic are very intelligent and can appreciate the point I am making here without hurling insults and claims of ignorance my way. We conservatives can not completely close our minds to everyone and everything lest we reap what we have sown.

The main difference between a Christian church and an Islamic mosque is that the mosques will not allow non-islamics inside. This is how they are able to conduct secret planning sessions without fear of being overheard.

As a compromise, we could start 'bugging' these places at the very least.. if not internally, then externally. I would also track attendence.. but then the libs would have a cow. It's not illegal to track who goes where in the US... just keeping lists does have a bad precedent. It could be passed with a renewal concept every 2-3 years. This would allow the people to remove it easily enough if necessary.
