When you put someone under surveillance, you FIRST look for pattern of behaviors, before you try to prevent a crime. We cannot identify a pattern of particular behaviors by a few mosques unless we put enough of mosques and enclaves of Muslims under surveillance. It is an uncomfortable truth and practice by governments the world over and even the US is not immune from this 'police state' tactic of keeping the peace.The problem is not monitoring some mosques, the problem is a blanket coverage. If it were a few, I'd be more understanding, but t's not.
And what I really meant was: You're repeating yourself and not addressing my points properly.
I respect your knowledge when it comes to military matters, but when it comes to politics and social issues, you're in way over your head.
The uncomfortable logic here is that no one does this without reason and/or just cause. Or at least in their minds, the belief that the tactic is under a just cause. You cannot deny the uncomfortable reality that mosques are/were being used in and outside of the US for extremist Islamic beliefs.
