The Second Generation issue shows why "Grilling" isn't good enough

The Jihadis among second-generation Muslim immigrants in UK, Canada (and perhaps Australia -- not sure) show that no amount of "grilling" will protect us.

A genuinely secular, nominal or liberal Muslim can still have children who become radicalized, and a Muslim community is still the place in which fanatics can hide and draw support.

A de facto policy of blocking Muslim immigration, as well as dismantling the foreign-based Moslem organizations in the US (which was possible after 9/11 if someone had had the brains and courage) would be as good as we could do in safely sharing a planet with this monstrous evil.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, however.
