Terrorist cells:

Kat is singularily correct in contending that so called "politically correctness" is a sharpened scimitar hanging suspended over our collective heads.

Case in point: The prevalent passive attitude which places no major obstacle to the continuing influx of Islamics into our society is brought into focus once again by todays revelation of the plot to blow up the jet fuel distribution network at J.F.K. airport. It is no coincidence that an Islamic religious leader was involved. Recall if you will, that the architect of the first World Trade Center attack was an Islamic religious leader named Abdul Rachman, who now reposes in prison living more lavishly than he did before his incarceration.

The plotting and execution of additional terrorist acts in other Western countries have been fostered and supported by various members of the religious hierarchy of Islam. Yet we still place no obstacles in their way as more and more mosques are springing up wherever there is a growing Islamic community which no doubt , contain radical elements determined to destroy that which does not conform to their religious beliefs. Remember also that it was the Mullah Omar who brought the Taliban to power in Afghanistan and destroyed what few human rights existed in that country and provided a safe haven for Bin Laden.

Our countries right of "Freedon of Religion" should not accept a faith where the killing of others is sanctioned and practiced by radical believers in "The one true faith".
