CB,

I am going to lobby my congressmen (they are all men) to get rid of the tax exemption for churches that preach destruction of the US government. That's not religion, that's politics.

We need to get this approved at the earliest possible moment. Its not just Islam, there is lots of religious based groups preaching hate or sedition (eg the White Power groups). They can have their 1st Adm rights, but not religious protection and tax exemption.

Now it will probably impact Islam more than say Lutherans or Catholics, but thats not prejudice - its defining a real separation of church and state. All the major religions take a position of preaching Peace, so we go after individual preachers or groups. An Imam or Preacher abdicates this when he preaches sedition - end of story. His 'facility' is closed until he is replaced. This will make the national leaders who say they are peaceful, actually take action.

John
