Why we allow Islam to flourish in our country is beyond me. Here is another example of Islam in the U.S. supporting our enemies across the globe. We as Americans seem to have a problem with fascists who wrap themselves in religion. We want to believe that all religions are like ours; we want to believe Islam wants the same things for its adherents that our religions want. We want to believe Islam desires to better the lives of its believers, but his is wrong. Islam wants to kill those who don’t believe what it claims, and once you believe they insure you never change. We need to grind Islam down until it believes what we believe or it’s gone. Now I don’t mean we need to convert Muslims to some version of Christianity, we need them to believe that a religion can’t use violence to push its agenda and if it does we will oppose them inside and outside America whether they are active or inactive in their beliefs. As long as we fail to recognize the danger Islamist in the U.S. represents we are in danger of loosing this very important war.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- Members of a mosque are fighting to keep their place of worship as the federal government probes a link between the Islamic Center of Springfield and a benefactor accused of financing terrorism around the world.
The center is owned by the Saudi-based Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, which U.S. authorities accuse of diverting donations to support a web of terrorist activities. The Saudi government dissolved the foundation this summer.
But center supporters claim the Saudi charity was simply a one-time donor whose name ended up on its property title.
"There isn't any evidence that the center was used to solicit funds or to contribute funds to terrorism," said Ahmed Ibrahim, an associate history professor at Southwest Missouri State University. "Many people are angry and upset that they are seen as contributing to terrorism."
Last month, the Bush administration designated Al-Haramain as a group suspected of supporting terrorism through its Springfield mosque and its main location in Ashland, Ore., saying the charity "shows direct links between the U.S. branch and Osama bin Laden."
Assets of the two properties have been frozen since February. The federal probe suggests the Islamic Center was a front that enabled the laundering of money to terrorists overseas.
The foundation has denied that its U.S. branch funded terrorism.An attorney representing members of the mosque had asked Al-Haramain before it was dissolved to acknowledge its one-time donation was a gift and to correct the alleged title error
