About Clarion Project | Clarion Project
According to the Clarion project more than 50 million Muslim's support ISIS world wide, including some American Muslim's. Twitter accounts supporting them have been exposed by Anonymous recently.

Until these numbers dwindle we will face terror.

Despite knowing this I voted NO on closing all Mosques. I do think Muslims who attend should try their best to report others that agree with radical views. I also believe we should track those with radical views.

In reality though we can't do much to avoid these religious terror groups because their religion protects them. We are not allowed to voice concern if religion is attached to it.

I personally am a non believing American, I don't understand why anyone would make a choice to be associated with it. Religion is a choice in America and people choose what they want, I'm not one to comment on that. If I had to make a choice I would never pick any religious belief associated with current terrorist activities. It's telling of the personality that would imo, and I stay clear of those people when able.

This is a real incident. Last minute before the elections, a political party promised to give "Color TV" to each household if they won the elections. And they won.

If they can track your phone and email and ashley madison, they are already doing this too..

In other words, who ever disagrees with you are haters and idiots.

Well said! Such clarity, so keen.

Seriously man?

Get to know your American form of government, history and constitution. Really.

The Constitution specifically states that the final arbitrator in interpreting the constitution is... wait for it.. SCOTUS. Article III to be exact. You may not like the rulings, but it is SCOTUS who, constitutionally, decides what is valid law or not.

Don't like it?

Petition to get the constitution changed. Good luck with that.


PS: I'm not an American and I know that fact. However, I have been in 42 of the 50 States and have many friends in those States.

Absolutely not. This is the complete antithesis of liberty. That of course does not mean we need to let everyone into our nation.

I would agree if these would be dictators would create a database and ID card for everyone that listed their sex, religion, race, skin color, address, political party, vote in the last elections, current employer and income, car make and model, blogging history, social associations and anything else that might identify anyone for future persecution. That would be very useful for the government when people like The Donald take over and implement their own version of the ONE RIGHT WAY.

Should The government shut down all mosques in America?
This is not even realistic and I hate that we're even talking about it. That being said, mosques with a sizable immigrant population do bear watching.

I am a right-winger.

Isn't there an amendment or two that expressly forbid something like that?

How is this even being considered?

Who was it who said...

"Those who sacrifice liberty for freedom will get neither"

While I have only been in about 10 Mosques in the USA every one of them had a very visible Police presence. In at least 2 of them it was requested by the regular attendees to pay to have off-duty uniformed non-Muslim police present during any activities.
