The spicy form of ROP!

EVER SINCE 9/11, we learned last month, federal officials have been monitoring radiation levels around a number of American mosques. It is an understandable precaution, given Al Qaeda's interest in acquiring nuclear weapons, and its history of mass murder.
Understandable -- but also troubling. In a nation as tolerant as this one, nobody can be happy about the need to focus self-defensive attention on mosques. Unfortunately, we are at war with violent Islamist radicals, and they are not above using mosques to incubate terrorism. If there is evidence of heightened radioactivity around a Muslim facility, the government should be aware of it, and should find out -- lawfully, of course -- whether it represents a threat.
The federal monitors have been checking for physical radiation, but there are other ways in which mosques can be radioactive.
Last year, for example, Freedom House issued a report on the extent to which Saudi publications in US mosques promote Wahhabism, the harsh, supremacist version of Islam that is the established creed in Saudi Arabia. Many of these publications, it turned out, were riddled with religious bigotry. They advocated contempt for ''infidels," portrayed America as alien territory, and urged Muslims to prepare for jihad. Considering the use of such teachings in recruiting terrorists, one might well view the presence of this literature in the library of an American mosque as ''radioactive," and a legitimate cause for concern.
Which brings us to the roiling controversy over the mosque being built by the Islamic Society of Boston -- a controversy made all the worse by an abusive lawsuit the Islamic Society has filed against its critics.

Thank God for the second amendment. The people will control the moose if need be.
Absolute whizzbang column by Jeff Jacoby!
Not troubling at all, if one knows a modicum of history.
The naivete of some Americans that think that anything that pretends to be a "religion" is just like Christianity, is really astounding. It's like politely holding the door open for our assassin to come in and do his dirty work.
By the way, look up the word "assassin" sometime and see what its roots are.

Let's hope the mosque is packed with FBI agents recording everything.

I encourage all to prepare for the jihad and be ready to quell it with a nationwide response that'll send these wouldbe soilders whining back to moma.
In every muslim country around the world, mosques are the way stations for al qaeda, the venues for terrorist plotting, and the caches for weapons. That is an unassailable fact. Why should we think it's any different in America?
Nonsense!
Huh? The west is used to thinking of churches as sanctuaries. Muslims know this. That's why they stocked their Mosques with weapons in Iraq during the American invasion. They figured the Americans and Europeans would respect sanctuary in Iraq. So why would one expect Muslims to act any different elsewhere? Nonsense is about as stupid an answer I have heard.
Imagine the outcry if Boston sold land to a church for a fraction of its fair market value. Impossible to imagine, isn't it?
Pathetic. Imagine if Christians did this every time someone criticized us.
Thanks for this post!

Some were...most were not.
They figured the Americans and Europeans would respect sanctuary in Iraq.
They figured wrong didn't they? We (mostly) sent our Iraqi (Muslim) allies in.
Once again I see the attitude that all Muslims think and act alike. When ever I see this my answer will be "Nonsense".
Religions maintain their tax-exempt status in this country, in part, by not engaging in openly partisan politics. Given islams universal tolerance for and demonstrable support for world-wide islamofascism, )a partisan political effort if ever there was one), they should be stripped of their tax exemption and made to file full disclosures like any PAC.
Jeff Jacoby Bump.
Perhaps some MA Freepers can approach the local ACLU about filing such a suit. One tactic to defang the ACLU is to get them to live up to their purported ideals and attack state support (or anything that looks like it) of non-Christian religions with equal vigor to their attacks on anything that looks to them like state support of Christianity. It would use their resources in a useful cause if they did it, and make manifest hypocrits out of them if they didn't. Either way, it's a net plus.
How about it you Boston FReepers?
