Again, there are two sides, and I'm interested in hearing both. I have no opinion other than I think the monitoring, if any, should be discrete!

Yes. Wiretaps require warrants, but I see no reason why undercover agents can't go to Mosques.

It's not only a ridiculous violation of constitutionally protected rights, it doesn't even make sense. It would take billions of man-power hours to go over all those tapes. It makes more sense to investigate leads we already have thoroughly and wiretape those people (with court approval, of course) instead. We don't even have enough security guards to ensure proper safety guidelines in airports, for heaven's sake, and people want the government to put a wiretap on every mosque in the country?
Why stop there? Why not tape the homes and businesses of Muslims, Middle Eastern food stores, hookah bars, Arabic schools, programs in Middle Eastern Studies, and all flights in and out of the Middle East? The answer is simple: it doesn't make sense statistically. There are so many places where Arab Muslims can carry on a conversation, and you can't wiretap them all, even if you are heartset on violating people's constitutionally protected rights.
It's no mere coincedence that methods that focus on investigating known sources thoroughly, rather than randomly striking out at masses of people based on racial profiling, actually work better. Doing the right thing in the right way doesn't just give you the higher moral authority, it also gives you better results.

I do not think anyone should intrude on an others place of worship, with wiretaps. Informants or agents are a different story. I do hope our government will monitor questionable behavior of others in regards to our nations security. There is a fine line that should not be crossed when it comes to privacy and our places of worship.

I feel it's a less invassive thing to do, then putting all Muslims in concentration camps. Since I know a lot of Muslims that are good people and just want to live a happy free life. But wiretapping their mosques wouldn't be a terrible thing to do.

No, it is not a violation. the administrative isn't combating the persons of those mosques from worship. they are able to flow to distinctive mosques or get carry of in distinctive places. Separation of church and state does not advise that the pros are no longer able to ascertain a criminal offense on religious property. It comfortably exhibits that, interior the gadget of doing so, they are unable to stop or limit persons from worshipping. If a spiritual construction or institute is funneling money to a 17 november, the federal government has a good ideal to snatch its supplies, because of the fact it would desire to snatch the supplies of yet another team. "it incredibly is my faith" isn't a green comfortable for helping and abetting criminals or conspirators. and could you think churches have not been seized in united statesa., you may choose to ascertain that. human beings have tried to hire churches to shop drugs interior the US, and the structures have been seized pending investigations. That in simple terms got here approximately in August one county sparkling of wherein I stay, and collectively as I appeared into it out of interest, i desperate that it happens in any respect situations.

In my opinion, the simple presence of mosques is a problem an a symptom of moral decline in America.
