We Should Not Tolerate the Preachers of Jihad

Richard Perle argues, in this article from The Telegraph, that we have been much to complacent when it comes to shutting down the preachers of hate within our own societies. And indeed, our own history and tradition, as well as legal precedent, show that freedom of speech is not without limits. The incitement to violence and law breaking is not covered by the 1st amendment no matter how loudly the ACLU and the Angry Left may bellow about it. We have the right to defend our civilization from those who advocate its destruction. And those Islamofascists who advocate violence and the murder of the infidels can be, and should be shut down.
