How far does the right to free speech extend?
Can you yell “fire” in a crowded theater?
Can you stand on a street corner and stir up a mob to lynch someone?

Can materials be distributed in mosques that call for Jihad against Americans and incite terror and violence?

Can a terrorist organization troll for funding on websites hosted by U.S. Internet providers?

In other words, does speech that creates an imminent threat of danger trump the most basic right we as Americans have – the right to be “safe in our persons”?

In the case of materials found in American mosques that call for Jihad, the ideology of Jihad, clearly enunciated throughout the holy books of Islam, has invariably and undeniably led to acts of Jihad. Fourteen hundred years of history and 270 million dead at the hands of Islamic Jihad document this cause and effect. Jihadist speech has historically led to violence, terror, and death. It is therefore our position that jihadist ideology is speech that poses an imminent threat of danger, a position supported by 1,400 years of history.

Isn’t it time we exercised our right to petition and demand that our Congress examine extremist materials in mosques so that we can have a truly informed public debate on this issue?
