How do we stop radical Islam in America?

Here is a good opinion piece on radical Islam.
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/06/13/islamic-radicals-want-to-kill-all-us-gay-straight-christian-and-jew.html
If 1% are radical, there are 1.5 billion Islamic followers and 99% are loving and good people, but 1% of 1.5 billion is 15 million radicals. Equal to every person in NYC (8 mil), LA (3 mil), Chicago (2 mil) and Houston (2 mil)!

The Islamic radicals want to kill all of us -- gay, straight, Christian and Jew | Fox News

What happened in Orlando is not about the political community or the religious community or the LGBT community. It's about the American community -- our community.

Go back to 1980s when you had to put pen to paper, meet F2F to communicate or actually be in your home to talk on the phone. Get rid of social media so #IGNORANCE no longer has a platform! Start there.

In addition, unlike Africans who were brought to America, UK thru Slavery and can't go back to Africa...Arabs come to the West on their own. If they don't like Western values or lives excuse me but please take your butt back to YOUR country were you can practice Islam as you see fit. Everyone is blameworthy make choices & decisions in your life and stop playing victims Gee Wiz Charlie Brown.

This may be harsh, but we seem to cater to any religion that complains they are not being catered to.

Everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs. However, we need to stop catering to them. When we do so, it becomes the norm, and people want more, and more and more. Until its too late.

Full body covering. Ok.. I can not walk into a bank in a full body wrap. Why should ANYONE be allowed to.

Now there is outcry that Muslim women should not be searched below the neck at airports! How could this possibly go wrong. They want more and more and more...

I cant take a DMV picture with my face covered. Why should ANYONE be allowed to.

If I am a Muslim and I own a bakery shop, no one would expect me to bake a cake saying 'Jesus is the most Awesome ever." Yet, time and time again, people with addenda's do this to Christian owned businesses.

There needs to be a line drawn. Else they will keep pushing and pushing and pushing until they get what they want.

All,

I am looking for some real thoughtful solutions not a pile on of the problem. We all know (well some don't accept) that there is a problem. If you were king/queen for a day how would you solve the problem. I know there is not a simple answer.

I honestly believe that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are good people who want to live and let live. The problem is that they are letting the 1% represent them...which further encourages us non-muslims to stereotype an entire religion. For us to truly stop radical Islam, the 99% of non-radical Muslims are going to need to stand up and clean house themselves. Again, there are 1.35 billion non-radicals. They have more than enough manpower to do it. But do they have the will.....?

The answer is simple; you can kill people, but you can't kill an idea. We can't stop radical Islam in America, we can just try to slow it with restrictions, at a certain point we have to accept that no matter what we do there will always be people who disagree with us to a point of absurdity.

Identify and legally name the threat as Radical Islamic Terrorism (RIT). Change the narrative globally. Domestically, we need to draw a thick solid legal line between religion and religious-fomented conspiracy to overthrow the US government (Sharia as an example). Define the caliphate threat, to educate the population and empower all Americans (including Muslims) to identify the difference. Identifying and fighting against RIT is not Islamophobia. It is the only way we will retain our hard-won liberty and freedoms in this nation. It is the ethical, legal, and moral right thing to do. It will save lives. Prosecute religious leaders (any religion) for conspiracy, or advocating crimes. Remove the PC handcuffs on law enforcement, business owners and religious leaders to identify to law enforcement those who have made religious-fomented conspiracy threats. Hold Muslims and non-Muslims accountable for their tacit support of RIT. As to foreign policy, cut all funds to all nations who harbor RIT. Either Destroy or Depart. If our nation decides it is necessary to Destroy, then remove the shackles. The Russians know dumb bombs work in ways that smart bombs do not. Dumb bombs are cheap and send a message. The message is, "we are serious. you will ALL suffer until you decide you are against them and with us. and we can do this forever."

And so many thing Trump is inciting violence. It would appear that the LGBT should support him, since most of the Democrats want more of these crazies in our country. Hillary, is this a "Radical"?

What do we do with a dog that bites the hand that feeds it? We send it back to the pound or we put it down. If that dog fathers puppies that do the same, we respond in the same way. I am so tired of the non-radicals saying we're being mean to them when they won't do anything about the radicals in their homes and mosques. Who do they think is teaching the radicals? I'm fairly sure it's not coming from churches or synagogues. Does a radical have to open fire in a mosque before these "peaceful" people will do anything? If they think that it's "not their problem" when one of theirs murders Americans, then they need to pack up and head back to where they (or their forefathers) came from. Born here or not. They should not be called Americans. Murdering in the name of their religion is still murder. Here's an interesting legal definition: "A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy." "THROUGH ADVICE, ACTIONS OR FINANCIAL SUPPORT". Sound familiar?
*sigh* I'm getting so angry. We're so busy worrying about hurting someone else's feelings that we're letting someone else hurt more than just our feelings. In our own home/country. My forefathers immigrated to this country for a better life. Others want to do the same. That's one of the great things about the US, our freedoms. But if they come here to hurt us, they need to go back to where they come from. Take our freedoms away from them. If your religion promotes the killing of those who do not agree with your religious laws, then DON'T COME HERE!!! Freedom to practice your religion does NOT mean your religion gives you the right to kill in the name of that religion. Freedom of Religion: The right to choose a religion (or no religion) without interference by the government. Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Nowhere does that say freedom to murder. Radical or extremist Muslims act in ignorance of their own holy book and in pride. The ones who should teach them better are not doing their job. That's where the true fault lies.

Paraphrasing what the sign says: cut off every head of every radical Muslim, and continue to do so, ad infinitum.

First is to identify the problem. Political correctness (I like what it's real name is cultural Marxism), isn't doing the trick. Call it what is and stop sugar coating it. ISIS is the ancient form of Islam. It doesn't mean peace, It means submit.

Deport them, and permanently bar them from entering the U.S.. Check out their Mosques, they are recruiting and training centers for terriorists, they store militiary grade explosivea and arms inside the Mosques, and their thites support radical Islam.

Interesting numbers you have here. How many radical Christians do we have burning churches, Mosques, assaulting people because they are not Christian? The number is much higher in my estimation based on what I read and see daily in the US. Interesting...

CW5 We stop it by preventing them from coming into the USA. We can help those in need but we don't have to in the US. Any act or proof that any or radical are deported. Close our borders would be the first thing. Tell those that want to do away with borders to take a hike. But this in only a start.

We can stop it, but America needs to get serious about the problem. Then we kill them all. We need to stop worrying about political correctness and show the world what happens when they declare war on the United States. Take the gloves off and start hitting below the belt. Unconventional Warfare at its best.

Its hard when Obama calls it a religion of piece. If you say or do anything you are branded a homophope. And they are good a misdirection. Take the San Bernadino terrorist . You should bust anyone who's involved and but them in jail for life. Maybe that's would stop these converts.

Close down the KKK. Close down the John Birch Society. Close down the White Supremacists. The world's people do not have an example of honest people helping each other for the common good. Instead they see corruption in every corner of the globe.

Right-wing attacks collectively dwarf the number of attacks carried out by Muslim radicals inside the United States.

On top of this, the most prominent and influential American Muslim leaders (and many others worldwide) have condemned terrorism and ISIS, and received death threats for doing so:

Muslims condemn terrorism worldwide on a very regular basis: https://muslimscondemn.com/

So I think we're having the wrong discussion.
