Firstly, this country was founded by several groups seeking religious freedom... for their religion, not yours. It wasn't until many years after the country split from Great Britian and got it's act together that the Federal goverment intervened and told everyone to place nice and that religion and politics shouldn't be mixed together. Kind of like bleach and toilet bowl cleaner. Islamic countries don't seem to share that point of view. Secondly, the previously mentioned Federal government doesn't have a great track record when it comes to dealing with things. Native Americans have never been treated fairly by them. Foreign policies change like the wind. Even the Supreme Court reverses direction from time to time. Is it any wonder we seem incapable of dealing with a national threat until after it blows up in our collective faces? Lastly, "the bad guys" (That would be the "small minority" of Muslims that think that killing everyone that disagrees with them is a good thing.) don't play by "the rules of war" even though they openly state that they are waging war against their enemies. (Yes, I know that 'jihad' does not translate as 'war'.) But as I learned in my early adult life, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, chances are it's a duck. Based on that, there's no meaningful difference between jihad and war, other than the religious implications of the former. So my question is how long are we going to ignore the fact that a groups of individuals who have openly declared war against us and our way of life are being welcomed with open arms into our society? Another question is what should we do about it? For the record, I'm retired military and my politics are more libertarian than anything else. Just to stir the pot, since it’s been sitting for a few days…

The religion of peace is training people to kill, blow up things etc. Now let's all be careful, we don't want to violate their rights. Maybe Obama can subsidize them? I can’t believe it.

Check your sources, America! Don’t be a nation of gullible dummies!" I did a Google search and the only "hoax" article I could find was the CBS one, which is what Mr. Mauro is talking about in his article. “A few minutes of background checking on google shows that the video is a hoax and that the so-called Christian Action Network is a nutjob hate group.
