Daniel Pipes on the Armanious family murders, which appear to have been the work of religious terrorists:
Assuming Spencer’s information is accurate, it raises a most alarming prospect of the importation of Sharia to America.
From a legal and law-enforcement standpoint, this has a lot in common with organized crime. Our law-enforcement officials have had great experience and success with developing techniques to fight organized crime, such as the Mafia. All those techniques can be brought to bear immediately to find and punish those who would kill others over their religious beliefs.
That's legislation, and I'm very glad we have it. But legislation has to be used to be effective. Also, no one is calling this terrorism yet, even though I agree with you that that is exactly what it is.
Great idea, but it's already covered. That's exactly what the Patriot Act is about. It takes existing law enforcement techniques used to combat organized crime and drug trafficking and rolls them up into one piece of legislation with the added target of terrorism.
