The truth is that any religions institution could become a hot-bed for radical religious belief. If you need an example of this possibility, just look at the violence done in the name of the Christian god over the issue of abortion. Clinics have been blown up, people have been executed in their own church, as in the case of Dr. Tiller just last year.
Someone will have to help me out as to how these acts of terror are materially different than the ones perpetrated by Al Qaeda. Both have a religious component; both are done by groups associated with the religion
In the end it is just the SOP of the Republican Party. Find and issue and whip up hysteria, without consideration of the long term affects or what might be lost by the tactic. It is just another of the legion of reasons why the modern Republican Party can not be trusted with the government of the United States or any single state for that matter. The radicalization they claim will come from mosques is just a pale reflection of the radicalization that has occurred in the ranks of their Party. If there is a group to fear, it is Radical Republicans, which is basically to say the most of the Republican Party at this point.
