I believe we have the beginnings of the Rules of Engagement and the first one seems very reasonable and prudent. Any extra degree of suspicion or scrutiny will no doubt incur the wrath of the ACLU and other likeminded groups, but there seems no other way to approach the gathering storm. Activities like the one undertaken by the Trainer and constant vigilance appear to be the order of the day.

Original quote posted by The Reaper: You are innocent if you are a Muslim," Choudary tells the BBC. "Then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are not a Muslim, then you are guilty of not believing in God."
Choudary said he would not condemn a Muslim for any action.
"As a Muslim, I must support my Muslim brothers and sisters," Choudary said. "I must have hatred to everything that is not Muslim."

The current situation reminds me of a quote from one of the Marines in Generation Kill, "Never pet a burning dog." How can we coexist in any reasonable manner with someone who must have hatred for everything that is not Muslim? Are we trying to safely pet the perverbial burning dog?
