This is why we have a military

I thought that the U.S. Military (A professional organization) was designed, built and maintained to protect U.S. citizens from foreign enemies. Oh, I guess this guy is an American citizen, so this makes it an internal matter? You know, for the FBI to handle.

The FBI does not have the capability to win this war. The FBI can play good defense, but defense will not end this.

The authority of imams to field their own militias, or to enforce 'legal' rulings is an issue that wars have been fought over. For good reasons. This is also why we have a military.

Islam has a number of other issues of this type that wars are fought over. In any case, the war is coming to us. It is not going to go away.
