IT'S NOT "RADICAL" ISLAM. IT'S ISLAM.

Let’s not try too hard to get Obama to say “radical Islamist”. At some point, we’re going to have to remove the word “radical” as a descriptor. Targeting just the “radical” ones let’s all of them off the hook. We cannot continue to utilize defensive measures designed to target a nebulous subset of this particular enemy. We must realize that if we win against this threat, it will have been because we defeated the ideology itself.

Based on the current laws of the United States, Islam is not a religion. Advocating for Sharia law is advocating for the disavowal of US law, and makes it subject to prosecution under sedition. RICO laws provide suitable framework to move forward. If Islam were proved to be the seditious conspiracy that we all know it is, then the families of the Orlando dead would have clear standing to sue. Assets could be legally seized, and America would instantly become the most inhospitable place in the world to practice Islam.


Imagine how focussed the minds of domestic Imams would become if America’s legal profession sniffed a buck or two? Certain specific sections of the Koran would be disavowed, newly interpreted, let’s say. The influx of practitioners would cease, as would the violence.


Islam. That’s the enemy. There simply is no solution to the Muslim problem that doesn’t involve consequences that accrue to all Muslims. Targeting radicals requires mind-reading, and will never work. De-legitimizing the “religion”, legally, and beginning to prosecute under RICO, would solve America’s problem with Islam.
