The need for Clarity

It is unclear to me why the lefts support for religious freedom is somehow ignoring the dangers of Islamists. It would appear to me that whether on the right or the left there is a complete understanding of the danger of the jihadists. However, we don't go as far as some, say Mr. Gingrich or those who oppose the building of any mosques. The right on this particular issue seems to hearken back to a time when there was a commie under every bed, the fear level exceeds 100%. Much indeed has been learned since 09/11, Pres. Obama's administration has killed or detained more of the leadership of Al-Qaeda than Mr. Bush did in his entire two terms. Frankly a little more hard work and a little less fear mongering is the best way to handle Jihadists.
