I think there’s probably some truth to the Foreign Policy assertion that radicalism is not universal to all branches of the Muslim Brotherhood, but if a case can be made that they’re a serious threat to the US, we already have a means of dealing with that — the State Department’s list of terror-linked organizations.

Returning to the original point, the call for special legislation to prevent a takeover of the US legal system by sharia (that’s what Newt is advocating) is unnecessary, unrealistic, and just reeks of blatant fear mongering. And the people who are pushing it (Yerushalmi, Gaffney, Christine Brim, etc.) really suck, to use a technical term. There’s a reason why this particular cause is attracting these bigots.
