Did the chain of command protect a budding terrorist?

"Because it was safer for careers than doing something about him."


True and maddening.

The guy was a "lone wolf" Islamic terrorist who used our constitution against us. What was our strength, becomes our Achilles heel in the war on terror. Our constitution prevents us from discriminating against people based on their religious faith. However, when a large segment of a religious faith thinks the United States is an infidel abomination and encourages acts of terror against us, we can't be blinded by political correctness. Islamic faith needs to be a NEGATIVE in any security clearance investigation, any government service application, and any other decision that would lead to potential danger to the country. Today's Muslim is worse than yesterday's communist. Islamic culture is fundamentally incompatible with western culture as we know it.

I would support a constitution amendment to add the phrase "except for Muslims" throughout the constitution and the bill of rights. I would also support the expulsion of all non-citizen muslims.
