Government Siezes Muslim Properties

The United States government has?decided to sieze?several Islamic properties, including four mosques, across the country. While going after religious property is?a relatively rare thing to do in America, given our First Amendment rights, it is certainly justified if officials’ concerns are correct. The accusation? That the property owners are conducting business with Iran, and in the process they broke a number of laws.

May I just come out and say it? It’s about time we did this. Yes, of course, the public should make certain the rights of the owners of the buildings are not being violated, and make a stink if that turns out to be the case. However, given our culture’s politically correct way of handling?people and circumstances?such as the terrorist who launched the attack at Fort Hood recently- even some of our elected officials?such as Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY) joined in the waffling-?I am amazed our government had the courage to take these properties. Good for whomever made the call.

As has been said by much of the media over the last eight years, no, not all Muslims are terrorists. However, Islamic extremists are intent on taking more American lives, and if we do not take the bull by the horns and deal with this very real threat, more Americans will die in ways every bit as heinous as those at Fort Hood, on 9/11 and on the USS Cole.
