I don’t believe any ‘church’ or ‘mosque’ leaders should be advocating violence from the pulpit (or in any other manor). If Muslim leaders are preaching about what violent things need to be done to the infidels, then the Mosque should be closed. At the very least, the leader trying to incite should be charged with incitement and placed in prison.
I have some pretty strong thoughts on this, but I find myself having to modify the thoughts based on the fact that we more wigged out people than Muslims doing some of this stuff.
One day a Muslim causes death and mayhem at Fort Hood in Texas, the next a White guy in Florida. One of our largest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil was committed by White Guys.
I believe we put an end to the incitement and then handle criminals in the same manner we always have.
I have also said that it is just plain nuts to allow people to immigrate to the U.S. who have been raised their entire lives to hate the U.S. I still believe that to be a very valid concern, and that at least during the conduct of war in the region, we must rethink our immigration policies from that region.
No matter what our leaders think, some people around the world think we are at war with Islam. The time for being an Ostrich is over.
As always, an excellent reply. Thanks for responding.
"Closed", hell.
Level the place, and turn the property into a pig farm.
The government has no problem with going after Christian Identity "religious groups" like Aryan Nations when they advocate violence.
Imams who preach Jihad from the pulpit, and mosque communities who tolerate such preaching, should be subject to joint and several liability when a member acts upon such preachings.
