Monitoring the Mosques in the Middle East

Hat tip The Economist and Chris


The Economist is running an interesting article on how several Middle East governments are attempting to monitor their mosques to weed out radical preaching.

Such control over religious places in the US would appear impossible. Yet, the governments in the Middle East know that many of their mosques are preaching intolerance and violence. Anyone who thinks we don't have that problem in the US is naive. It behooves us to somehow be able to detect violent preaching and influences within our US mosques while not overstepping our established legal boundaries.
