The events of the Middle East are not the cause of terror and hostility in the world. They are the porthole of the future of the world. Homegrown terrorism in the US will become reality unless there is a better plan to stop teaching intolerance. You cannot teach pornography in the schools, but you can teach hatred and intolerance with federal dollars in Islamist Mosques. Anti-hate laws should be enacted, and curriculum approval in the schools should be required to qualify for Federal funds. Comparative religions course should be a requirement of all schools. Imported books from Saudi Arabia that teach killing of Christians and Jews in the Islamist Mosques of major US cities should be banned. Otherwise we will slowly lose the war on terrorism.
