HOWARD - AUSSIE PM - CALLS FOR MOSQUES TO BE SURVEILED

NYTIMES/"Reuters"; (hat tip JIHAD WATCH - who thanks Sr. Soph):

Prime Minister John Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spies monitoring the nation's mosques.... Howard said that while the government had no wish to interfere with the freedom and practice of religion, he supported sending people into mosques and Islamic schools to make sure nobody was promoting support for violence or extremism. "We have a right to know whether there is, within any section of the Islamic community, a preaching of the virtues of terrorism, whether any comfort or harbour is given to terrorism within that community," Howard told Australian radio.
Howard is RIGHT, and we here in the USA ought to be doing the same; if the mosques are where the jihadoterrorists meet and plan and recruit, then it is where we must find them and confront them. If the clerics and their followers don't like it, then they can EITHER tell the jihadoterrorists to leave or tell us who they are, and we'll "take care of them!"

I don't know. After hearing Pat Robertson's comment, maybe we should be sending spies into churches.

I think that would be fine, and I am a Christian who goes to church every week with his family.

Carlo, I know you meant it as a smart-assed statement. Too bad for you, you narrow-minded, ignorant fool.
