“I learned that in 20 years with the rate of the birth population, we will be overtaken by Islam, and their goal is to get people in Congress and the Supreme Court to see that Shariah is implemented. My children and grandchildren will have to live under that.”

So democracy, where the will of the majority determines how things go, is fine only as long as the majority thinks like you do? If another group has the majority, then dictatorships are better or something?

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.

That reminds me of what I had read about the closure of a mosque here in Hamburg which had been used by, among others, some of the people involved in the 9/11 incident.

The article said (IIRC) that while it appears that people attending there, as well as the preachers, tended to be radical, closing it down may not have been the best idea simply because as long as it existed, it made it easier to keep an eye on radical people, because they tended to stick together and attend that mosque.

Now that they'll disperse throughout Hamburg to other mosques, it'll be harder to intelligence agencies to keep tabs on people with worrying outlooks.
