In opening our country up to an influx of Muslims, given the steady stream of anti-Western propaganda coming from Muslim States and the fact that most violence in the world today involves Muslim fanatics, or whatever you want to call them, I believe the prudent policy is to know who exactly you allowing into the country. I don’t have much confidence in the way things are handled now. I think that caution is our best option at this time, and for the forseeable future.

“A two-year study by a group of academics on American Muslims and terrorism concluded that contemporary mosques are actually a deterrent to the spread of militant Islam and terrorism. The study was conducted by professors with Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy and the University of North Carolina. It disclosed that many mosque leaders had put significant effort into countering extremism by building youth programs, sponsoring antiviolence forums and scrutinizing teachers and texts. “
