Reader comment on item: [Mosque Mischief and] Counting Mosques

Submitted by Bob Stern (United States), Feb 4, 2003 at 09:20

I believe that Steven Emerson's "American Jihad" made the statement that 80-85% of mosques in our country are under the control of Islamic militants. If that be the case, I find no reason to object to the FBI's policy outlined in the article.

Somebody (I can't remember who, getting old is hell) said the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

Best wishes to all.

Bob
