re: #612 Pastorius

As such, we can never allow any Islamist political party to gain any legitimate political power in any part of the Western world.

Well the problem is how do you want to do that? If they get the votes how are you going to stop them? There’s no constitutional means of banning political parties here in the US. In Europe, however, they can outlaw political parties (Vlaams Block was outlawed). Once again this is the wrong approach. You can not preserve freedom and democracy by limiting freedom and democracy.
