I think there's not too fine a line between free speech protected by the 1st Amendment and inciting people to maim and kill.... J.

Would you round up American citizens who are muslim who attend a mosque where anti-Administration or anti-Israel statements are made? Your question has built into it a tone of sarcasm which would presume that I would round up all moslums and put them into camps of some sort... of course not, why "round up" anyone? And could you tell me why you would ever suppose I would actually take such an extreme step from what I posted? But still, let me answer your question... such comments from that moslum leader in that mosque is a real life sample of what we now have, such speech is clearly fanning the flames of hatred with completely false and insane statements, this is no different than yelling fire in a movie theater or that you have a bomb while at the airport... common sense dictates that such speech needs to be stopped and those who continue it also need to be stopped... free speech doesn't mean you can say anything, you can't cause a riot and incite hatred, we already have laws to prohibit such inflammatory speech... But, my whole point earlier was not to come up with ways of combating such speech, but to show you that this is already going on today in your hometown... that to say there is no analogy to 1938 is incredibly shortsighted... And worse, that these hate mongers get a free pass because eveyone is already intimidated in fear of retaliation from the radical factions of the moslum community... this is shameful and indefensible... you say you read lots about 1938, but you clearly missed something...
