Taxi Cabs and Mohammedans


The exercise of the Freedom of Religion is one thing, using Freedom of Religion as a terrorist haven of protection is another. Cab drivers in many large urban area American cities are dominated by Mohammedans. A significant amount (I am guessing the majority) of these Mohammedan cab drivers have ties to American Mosques that preach radical Islam; i.e. the preaching includes hatred of Jews and America.

The relevance of this is radical Islamists have access to modes of transportation to execute terrorism if any are a part of a terror cell.

Let us be honest about one thing though, being a radical believing Islamist and an actual terrorist may not be the same thing. The first rejoices at the acts of terrorism against Americans and Jews, the later are the terrorists that commit violent acts against Americans and Jews.

The believing radical Islamist is always a potential recruit for the terrorist organization radical Islamist. Certainly the believing radical Islamist will aid and support the agenda of the terrorists. The question that needs to be answered is this: Does America stand for Freedom of Religion for those that undermine the privilege of being an American? I have a tough time with that answer. I often waver between civil liberty and security depending on my temperament of information that I read.

Currently I am leaning toward security. One of the
Fort Dix Six was an American Citizen born in Jordan and it turns out he was a Philadelphia cab driver. This means an American citizen who has bought into radical Islam was determined to be involved in the massacre of American citizens that were not Mohammedans under the belief that killing those that do not believe the Allah’s messenger Mohammed and Allah is the Quranic thing to do. The Quran being the so-called revelation of Allah to Mohammed (since I am a Christian, this is why I insist on calling the followers of Mohammed Mohammedans rather than their preferred moniker of Islam or Muslim).

The rub is that Security consciousness focused for so long may forever reduce or dilute civil liberty in America. So again, here I am wavering betwixt the two. If it ever comes down to survival I will always go with security. If America protects the civil liberties of radical Islamists in America for too long; security might be too little too late.
