Every mosque built or planned to be built in the United States is "the thin edge of the wedge" often referred to by the British. Few can deny that the precepts of Islam as set forth in the Koran, decree the killing of Jews, infidels and non-believers in the so called "true faith". What assurances exist that extremists will not make the mosques the base from which to plot acts of destruction and terrorism on the unsuspecting and gullible citizens of our country.

We have seen it happen in other countries, especially in the U.K. and here in the good U.S.A. we have witnessed the lengths to which Islamic terrorist have gone in puirsuit of their search for martyrdom. The most recent event in New Jersey where the killing of soldiers at Fort Dix was planned is a case in point.

Islam is sorely in need of a "reformation" such as Christianity underwent many years ago. When this reformation of Islam is undertaken, every sura and verse of the Koran which encourages the faithfull to fulfill Islams decree to "kill the Jew, the Infidel and the non-believers", must be expunged from the Koran and all previous copies must be destroyed to purge this ingrained doctrine forever. Nothing less will ever bring Islam into the modern world where love and kindness are the guiding words of most other established religious practices.

We are at a dangerous crossroad in history, where our right to religious freedom provides a dangerous and corrupting philosophy an opportunity to invade and disrupt our heretofore peacefull sanctuary.
