The battle-plan in defense of freedom is here. Jihad-promoting mosques should be closed. What say you? Comment here.
OPINION: Accused Boston Bombers' Mosque Should Be Shuttered Pamela Geller, Breitbart
USA Today reported Tuesday that “the mosque attended by the
two brothers accused in the Boston Marathon bombing has been associated
with other terrorist suspects, has invited radical speakers to a sister
mosque in Boston and is affiliated with a Muslim group that critics say
nurses grievances that can lead to extremism.”Story continues below advertisementThe Islamic Society of Boston was founded by Abdulrahman Alamoudi,
the leading “moderate Muslim” in Washington throughout the 1990s.
Alamoudi turned out to be an al-Qaeda financier and is now in prison.And it wasn’t just Alamoudi. USA Today notes that others
linked to the Islamic Society of Boston include Aafia Siddiqui, who “was
arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 while in possession of cyanide
canisters and plans for a chemical attack in New York City”; Tarek
Mehanna, who was “sentenced in 2012 to 17 years in prison for conspiring
to aid al-Qaeda"; Ahmad Abousamra, who “is wanted by the FBI on charges
of providing support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill Americans in a
foreign country”; and Jamal Badawi, who “was named as a non-indicted
co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial in Texas
over the funneling of money to Hamas, which is the Palestinian wing of
the Muslim Brotherhood.”Originally a trustee of the Islamic Society of Boston was Sheikh
Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and
perhaps the most popular Islamic preacher in the world. He once said on al-Jazeera:
“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would
punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out
by Hitler… This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next
time will be at the hand of the believers.”There have been well over a shocking number of jihad plots in the U.S. in recent years. Operation fetal position is not a strategy for victory, and make no mistake about it: we are at war.
On Wednesday, my organization, the American Freedom Defense
Initiative (AFDI) issued an 18-point action plan for defending freedom
in the wake of the Boston jihad bombings (read the whole thing here). Two of the points apply directly to the Islamic Society of Boston, where the Tsarnaev brothers went for Muslim prayers:• AFDI calls for immediate
investigation into foreign mosque funding in the West and for new
legislation making foreign funding of mosques in non-Muslim nations
illegal.
• AFDI calls for surveillance of mosques and regular inspections of
mosques in the U.S. and other non-Muslim nations to look for
pro-violence materials. Any mosque advocating jihad or any aspects of
Sharia that conflict with Constitutional freedoms and protections should
be closed.
A survey was published in December 2011 by Perspectives on Terrorism, a journal run by the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI). This survey showed why the mosques need to be monitored:
A leading international peer-reviewed journal specializing in the
empirical study of terrorism has published a study that found that 80%
of U.S. mosques provide their worshippers with jihad-style literature
promoting the use of violence against non-believers and that the imams
in those mosques expressly promote that literature. The study also found
that when a mosque imam or its worshippers were ‘sharia-adherent,’ as
measured by certain behaviors in conformity with Islamic law, the mosque
was more likely to provide this violent literature and the imam was
more likely to promote it.
These findings confirm what three previous studies have already concluded. Robert Spencer gives the details:
“In 1998, Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, a Sufi leader, visited 114
mosques in the United States. Then he gave testimony before a State
Department Open Forum in January 1999, and asserted that 80% of American
mosques taught the ‘extremist ideology.’ Then there was the Center for Religious Freedom’s 2005 study, and the Mapping Sharia Project’s 2008 study.
Each independently showed that upwards of 80% of mosques in America
were preaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity
ultimately to impose Islamic rule.”
Spencer adds: “There are no countervailing studies that challenge these results.”
And now the Boston jihad bombing is deadly proof of the influence
that these hotbeds of jihad indoctrination have on young Muslims,
including those who are Americanized, white (i.e., not suffering from
any residual racism in American society), and assimilated. The Tsarnaevs
weren’t discriminated against. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received a scholarship
from the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2011. The Tsarnaevs were
Muslims who had at their disposal all the advantages of the West,
including welfare.
And they fit right in at their mosque.
Yet despite all this, Muslim Brotherhood groups like the Hamas-tied
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are issuing press releases
saying that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was thrown out of his mosque. That may be
true – but within days, Tamerlan was backfor prayers.
It’s a national security issue: the Islamic Society of Boston must be shut down.

A whole lot of radicalization has come from this cess-pool. It should be razed; not shuttered. A non-negligible portion of arabs want wide-spread repetition of the Boston slaughter. It is critical at this point IMHO to send a clear message.

Nah – don’t “shutter” the mosque. Just make it look like some of their handywork in New York City.
There ought to be a year-’round, no-limit season on these bastards.

Shutting this mosque down would be good.
But I suspect the ACLU will argue aganst
it on the grounds of freedom of religion.
At times, there needs to be freedom from religion as well.

Shut them all down! No mosques in western societies! PERIOD! When are the naive, politically correct, catholics, christians, and jews going to realize the Koran incites violence. We have to educate everyone in Western Cultures that islam and sharia and the koran are incompatible with our culture. Do More human lives have to be lost to get through to these people. There is a petition to the white house stopping immigration of all muslims to the U.S. SIGN IT! Islam/Sharia a political ideology disguised as religion. Muslims cannot be trusted as long as there is taquiya and the Koran, even the so called moderate muslims. There is no moderate Islam, is Islam. Obama and the administration are pathetic and unpatriotic to not educate Americans on the ideology of Islam. Obama should stand in front of the podium and read all the violent texts in the Koran. Please write your congressmen and senators to stop islam in this country.

Did Saudi al-Harbi, still a Saudi of interest to some with respect to the Boston bombing, attend this mosque?

If any mosque fails to support jihad they fail to be
Islamic. Fail to preach and practice the message of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of
their prophet.
Hence, Yes, absolutely every mosque preaching Islam should
be closed, so too, every madrassa in our nation. Until that happens, as long as
we reject the veracity of Muhammd and the book he brought, we will continue to
reap more of the same 9/11’s, 15/4’s, pick-your-date and blood-drenched Islamic
rooted carnage.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SHRED THE CONSTITUION?!?!

I agree with you. After I finally read the Coran I realized that Islam is not a religion of peace. It preaches violence against all non believers and nothing can change that unless you purge the Coran but this will simply NOT happen. So Mosques follow the Coran and the principles of Islam. They also have to follow jihad. So ban the mosques.

The Constitution is for us — Americans — who respect it and aspire to live up to our responsibilities to it.
Not for wanton, deceitful, amoral muslims who only cynically exploit it to impose their evil tyranny on us.
(Like Big Chief Jihadist Obama and criminal enemy sympathizer Eric Holder are doing.)

If you shutter one mosque, couldn’t the congregants and imams just go down the street to the next mosque and setup shop there?

Our “freedom of religion” was established as a bulwark against government persecution. Now, in a far removed time & space, the cynical muslim enemy shamelessly exploits it as a bunker to hide in and plot its explicit war against us and everything we have.

There goes the 1st amendment. Any other parts of the Constitution you want to get rid of. Since you want to shred our civil liberties enshrined by our Founding Fathers…how about the Second Amendment?
