I see lots and lots of people going to pray to God multiple times a day. Something that most of us wouldn't even bother to do.

I see a group of people who, long before 9/11, had to face locals determined to kick them out of the neighborhood, despite their Constitutional rights to freedom of religion and assembly.

Anwar al-Awlaki was imam there for about a year out of its entire history. It is wrong to forever brand an entire community with a scarlet letter because of one bad apple. The scary history is one man, not the mosque.

Lastly, if we want peaceful relations with Muslims in America, the worst possible thing we can do is to persecute them.

Yes they do pray a lot. And the main Friday prayer kicked off by the imam is "Victory to Muslims over Qawm al-Kafirun" aka all non-Muslims. Every Friday in nearly every mosque around the world.

I'm really tired of saying the only way to be peaceful with those that follow the "religion of peace" is to overlook the inconsistencies altogether.

Have you been to a prayer service? You seem to know so much about it.

Yes. And you should be honest about what you hear at some mosques and through the whispers of the congregation.

That would be making progress towards peaceful relations.

I'm confused. Is this PP? So what happened when you went to a prayer service?

True that. Not derailing, but works for the likes of Scientology too.

The cross walk is governed by a traffic light. Why the need for police?

Um, having a comprehensive strategy. Is that scary to you somehow ? I know the president has held his nose at one.

What does the "comprehensive strategy" look like?

Actually. I shouldn't say that. To be fair, he has a comprehensive strategy of withdrawal, disengagement and drone bombs.

words like "methodical" and "comprehensive" don't mean anything - they are just words that people use to try to sound like they know what to do.

So your argument is the police cars are there in case of radicalization? That's just dumb. I have a lot of issues with
Islam, but the cops are there so pedestrians don't get slaughtered on the road.

I don't see praying to God many a times a day as a sign of goodness - it seems a bit fanatical to me. I believe in prayer and goodness, but it doesn't manifest itself in assembling at a church/mosque multiple times per day. How do you work and support your family if you are praying multiple times a day in a church or mosque? Which productive jobs support leaving work to pray multiple times per day?

The American taxpayer is apparently great work if you can get it.

Cops aren't at my episcopal church on Palm Sunday when we process from one location to another, crossing a busy street without a traffic light. They aren't at the Catholic church in my neighborhood on Easter. They aren't at the Mormon church in Alexandria on their holy days.
Not saying it's because of radicalization, but it's certainly not just to escort people across a street that has a streetlight to stop traffic.

You're right - lets continue to fight terror with love as our AG has suggested. Great plan!

So what's your comprehensive and methodical plan?
