A quote from the article -

"Phares said that Hizb ut-Tahrir, rather than training members to carry out terrorist acts like Al Qaeda, focuses instead on indoctrinating youths between ages of 9 and 18 to absorb the ideology that calls for the formation of an empire — or "khilafah" — that will rule according to Islamic law and condones any means to achieve it, including militant jihad."

I know we have free speech but what happened to arresting and prosecuting for Treason? Doesn't brain washing and indoctrinating our youth "...for the formation of an empire — or "khilafah" — that will rule according to Islamic law and condones any means to achieve it," fit the description?

There are a fair number of religious groups in the US that would fit in that category, too--we're just sort of used to them.

Excellent point my friend!

I suspect it was actually non-muslims who are not allowed in. Big difference.

Pop makes an interesting point. There was at one time a law called the "Alien and Sedition Act" that addressed this stuff. My guess is that it was struck down by the courts for violating the First Amendment. Maybe a law scholar could speak to this. Please help us out.

Kind regards,

Here's your answer: Me, I side with Thomas Jefferson on this one.

The Alien and Sedition Acts were four bills passed in 1798 by the Federalists in the United States Congress, who were waging an undeclared naval war with France, later known as the Quasi-War. They were signed into law by President John Adams. Proponents claimed the acts were designed to protect the United States from alien citizens of enemy powers and to stop seditious attacks from weakening the government. The Democratic-Republicans, like later historians, attacked them as being both unconstitutional and designed to stifle criticism of the administration, and as infringing on the right of the states to act in these areas. They became a major political issue in the elections of 1798 and 1800. One act—the Alien Enemies Act—is still in force in 2009, and has frequently been enforced in wartime. The others expired or were repealed by 1802. Thomas Jefferson held them all to be unconstitutional and void, and pardoned and ordered the release of all who had been convicted of violating them.

Is there a down side to this? Shoot..I guess to them we're a TARGET rich environment...that sucks

[Guest SUNTZU]

That was my super sarcasm. I don't want to know jihad, personally.
