re: #396 Charles

Thanks for the lecture, Vik. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been posting about what’s preached in SAUDI mosques for years at LGF.

The keyword is SAUDI mosques. Unless you have evidence that the same thing is going on in every mosque in the US, your claim that we need to “face the facts and find a way to deal with them” is nothing more than blind bigotry and hysterical alarmism. If this were happening in the US, we’d have seen more attacks here since 9/11.

Instead, we saw VERY few attacks, and almost none for years now. You’re the one who’s not getting it here.

That’s a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. A LOT of things changed in the USA after 9/11 to make it more difficult for domestic terrorists of any stripe to carry out attacks, and specifically to monitor American msoques and other Islamic institutions for signs of hostile plots against the USA.

In fact, as you’ve yourself noted, “our friends the Saudis” have explicitly attempted to export Wahabist/Salafist teaching to American mosques and Islamic schools, e.g., Islamic Saudi Academy Teaching Hatred, Sharia. Is such instruction in a religious school Constitutionally-protected free exercise of religion, or does the government have a right and obligation to protect other citizens (and the pupils themselves, by the way) from the consequences of this indoctrination?
