The Washington Times reports, "Countries across Europe are working to expel radical Islamic clerics who glorify and condone acts of terrorism, in hopes of stemming the tide of extremism among impressionable Muslim youth. "
France has begun to give the boot to some who preach hate and calling for the killing of others. Italy has expelled eight Palestinian preachers after Rome showed up on a target list. All of the men expelled were in the country illegally. Of course Britsh officials are now reacting, following multiple attacks, by cracking down on those who promote jihad on British soil.
The problem here is for far too long many of these countries have provided a safe haven for these terrorists. I can only assume the thinking was "these guys won't do anything if they live here". Well that has been proven wrong time and time again.
Once a person is infected with a belief that a higher power wants them to kill those who do not submit to the will of that power, all rational boundaries no longer exist. It's the same thing that allows a father of a new born baby to abandon his family in order to kill others, or a young person to blow themselves up. It is only when pure evil has highjacked the mind, could a human begin justify such thoughts and practices.
It is high time for all sensible people around the world, Muslim, Christian and otherwise to cease even the slightest tolerance of radical preaching. This is not a free speech issue. It a life and death issue. We are in the midst of World War III and no seems to want to admit that.
Anyone who condones the taking of life in the name of any religion ought to be instantly removed from the global community and allowed to preach only to the rats that share their living quarters.
