Peaceful preaching inside, violent message outside a New York mosque - CNN.com

Read the article - Watch the video - Need I say more?

These individuals must obviously be part of the 5% or less of the radicals that peaceful Muslims are saying are a perversion of Islam.

They hate our president, they hate our way of life, they hate our freedoms (yet they seem to know how to use them) and, according to the article, they hate the entire U.S. as a society.

So, once again, I pose the question:

What are they doing on our streets, enjoying our freedoms, and our way of life.?

The better question is: How did these radicals make it into OUR country. They must have been here for a while now, enjoying our freedoms.

Good question..How did the radical Islamists get to our country..Then how do we know if they are radicals? Background checks would be good but probably impractical..

I also agree that the radicals are a small majority of the Islamic religion just as the Fred Phelps church radicals are a minute part of Christianity, but gives us a big black eye to some who oppose Christianity.
.
The Muslims I know here in our area are calm, peaceful and loving people who are ashamed of the radicals who make so many fear them, hate them and accuse them..

Getting in should be relatively easy, since you can't look at a person and determine that they're radical. And, of course, the true radical won't be so stupid as to reveal their tendencies before they've been permitted entry. I think the real problem is an apparent lack of effort to deport them once they've revealed themselves.
