Seems like a VERY dangerous thing for the FBI to do. This will certainly cause a lot of resentment towards the US Government within the American Muslim Community and will give the nutcases in Iran and other Islamic Fundamentalist strongholds a new piece of evidence to help them prove American hatred directed towards Muslims.

I don't care if defending our country offends some muslims in iran who already hate us anyways and treat every woman and non-muslim in their own countries as trash.

Um, Its common practice to seize the assests of those we are at war with. If they have the evidence to prove they are a front for terrorists, then by all means, seize them.

Iranian mullahs already hate us and the west in general.

They are not too cooperative in nuclear negotiations.

So seizing Iranian assets really doesn't change a thing.

Frankly I couldn't care less about what sparks what.

The fact is they should have been thoroughly investigated BEFORE being permitted to assemble anything in the USA, all this after the fact garbage should have been done BEFOREhand.

Typical of the USA of late, we're focusing on putting out fires instead of preventing them.

It's the result of our government being intimidated by the "Muslim rights groups", and "ACLU" type of organizations.

Being "politically correct" will see the domestic body count rise. It's only a matter of when and where. No doubt.

What about all the THOUSANDS of AMERICAN CITIZENS who attended those Mosques? Wouldn't this create a few radicals out of some of them who weren't that way before?

The problem with this seizure is that it is the seizure of a house of religious worship, an unprecidented move. They never seized any Catholic churches that were being used for money laundering, only cults and these Mosques. It only helps marginalize more Muslims in this country. We don't need to push them away, we need to bring them into society to the point where they are just another part of American society like Jews or even Mormons.

Are there not more than just those Mosques? I'm sure they can find another one within a few miles.

Gee you think they might not like us any more?

Death to innocent 3,000 fellow Americans was not enough for the "Muslim street" to condemn terrorists, maybe this will make them angry though. <shrug>
