I guess it's hard to make people feel like there's no places where they can be safe unless they send moles in during religious services.

It's awesome that the sermons are being streamed online and transcriptions provided - really improves accessibility for disabled persons who cannot attend for one reason or another.

A personal presence is also required for recruiting people into "plots" that they can then "discover".

Re: the latter -- I was just thinking that myself. :)

In addition the reports said police officials keep tabs on clerics and gather intelligence on taxi cab drivers and food-cart vendors, who are often Muslim, in New York.

There's a David Letterman joke in there somewhere.

If they all went on strike to protest, NYC would be in total shambles. Of course, that would totally be "terrorism", or something ridiculous like that.

Often Muslim and sometimes stop terrorists.
