If there are so many “moderate Muslims” and a “tiny” radical faction why is it so difficult to rein in the tiny faction. Sorry, that does not pass the smell test. If Muslims want to be American citizens they MUST be able to abide by freedom of religion and freedom of expression hand-in-hand. The first step in engaging your enemy is to locate him. Hold the Koran burning, anyone who protests violently should be arrested. If they are not a US citizen, deport immediately to nation of origin. If a citizens, jail time and damages paid. US citizens have the right to “peacebly assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” No mention of a right to assault police, other citizens or damage property. Ignore this distinction at your own peril- and we have been for way too long.
