Yes, Islam is a political ideology that cloaks itself as a religion.
Islam exactly meets the definition of cult, satanic death cult to be exact.
As such it should be fought much harder than communism was fought.
Yep, and therein lies an opportunity.
Based on the current laws of the United States, Islam is not a religion.
Advocating for Sharia law is advocating for the disavowal of US law, and makes it subject to prosecution under sedition. If Islam cannot harbor hope for Sharia, they won't want to be here. America instantly becomes the "strong horse".
RICO laws provide suitable framework to move forward. If Islam were proved to be the seditious conspiracy that we all know it is, then the families of the Orlando dead (and others) would have clear standing to sue. Assets could be legally seized, and America would instantly become the most inhospitable place in the world to practice Islam.
Imagine how focused the minds of domestic Imams would become if America’s legal profession sniffed a buck or two, their greedy hands toting briefcases full of class-action litigants? Certain specific sections of the Koran would have to be disavowed, newly interpreted, let’s say. The influx of practitioners would cease, as would the violence.
