So over the last six months, I’ve been fairly involved in this kind of a public discussion, where I’ve done over 50 radio interviews in the last three, four months.  I’ve been before five city councils, county board of supervisors, city planning commissions on mosque permits, and learning with a core group of people in my area how to have this conversation with public entities, elected officials.
We have also visited mosques on Open Mosque Day.  We went, and to show — rather than just kind of cursing the darkness, which — at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very good about identifying what is the challenge to our Western traditions.  But in our case, we’ve decided to go into the mosques and ask the questions, record the answers, engage in a very local community fashion; so that we know who in our community is participating with us and supporting the Constitutional values and liberties that we support in America.
So in doing this, of course, it has been a matter of how we have this conversation.  And there are no better qualified people to do this than the four panelists that will be discussing it today. Read the rest on:
