#1 When this happens at ~~100~~ ~~1,000~~ 10,000 mosques, let me know. Islam's sole route to redemption relies upon just such brave souls as those seeking to reclaim their place of worship from violent fanatics.

#2 Say again? Unless I'm reading the article wrong, this is a case of violent fanatics-- Taliban supporters armed with a court order, of all things-- seeking to reclaim the mosque from those who had kicked them out in 2001.

#3 I predict the following. If there is ever another 9/11 type attack, the American people will demand that all of these folks be rounded up, detained and interrogated. We are just one or two attacks away. These folks are living on borrowed time.

You're reading it correctly, Dave D.. But at least one congregation somewhere is trying to defeat those who preach violent Jihad.

#5 Simple: if the Jihadis manage to cut loose with a nuke, its open season on ALL Moslems who do not repent and ACT on the words by actively weeding out the mass murderers from their own ranks.

If they do not do it, the rest of American society will do it for them -and we will not be nearly as nice as their Moslem bretheren.

Old Spook, this is what I've been trying to say for some time. "The Three Conjectures" (at the Belmont Club) has it down pat. The loophole of secular religious freedom is shrinking at a tremendous rate. Too bad Islam does not realize it ... NOT!
