#1 Compare wid MARIANAS VARIETY > YUMIL: CNMI CAN TAKE GITMO DETAINEES.

All Radical Islam would need is an EFFEC FOOTHOLD - when and iff this should ever occur, IMO the Govts of the CNMI + Guam + WEST/CENTPAC [ FSM] should prep for possible Activist + even Militant-Terror troubles e.g. DEMANDS FOR LEGAL SHARIA, NON-MUSLIM FAITHS TO MINIMIZE OR STOP WORSHIP SERVICES AND NORMAL PROSELYTYZING [Guam = anti-Catholicism], END OF WOMENS RIGHTS, ETC. + DEMANDS FOR SOVEREIGNTY OR EVEN FULL INDEPENDENCE FROM THE USA [ or CHINA?]???

Not right away, but over time ala CREEPING + ESPEC "LEGAL" SHARIA/ISLAMISM [1-1 1/2 generations after local establishment]???
