Outside a Manhattan mosque where the imam preaches against terrorism, the brothers of the "Revolution Muslim" are spreading a different message.

Protected by the Constitution of the country they detest, radical Muslim converts like Yousef al-Khattab and Younes Abdullah Mohammed preach that the killing of U.S. troops overseas is justified. In their thinking, so were the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States - and so are attacks on almost any American.

Al-Khattab and Mohammed consider al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden their model.

If he doesn't like America then why is he here? Instead of complaining about it why doesn't he just go?

Thanks for the excerpt! It's definitely interesting! Who would have thought that extremists Muslims would be living here in the U.S. and have the nerve to get out on the street and preach their hate and try to get people to follow their ways. How ridiculous!! I hope that they aren't getting any takers! And I hope people don't see their hate and think it's all Muslims who are that way.

Can't wait to see the full report.

If these people are US citizens, why haven't they been charged with treason? If they're not, why haven't they been deported?

How is the speech of attacking and killing anyone protected under any type of freedom of speech. This is open hate speech calling for violation which I felt to be illegal.

Under this pretense I could stand on any street corner and say Maggie Gallagher must be killed and be protected by freedom of speech.
