I have no problem turning on them for "what they believe". It's OK for them to believe in Islam. It's NOT OK for them to believe in a form or offshoot of Islam (or Christianity, or Animal Liberation, or whatever) that advocates killing Americans. There's a crime called "conspiracy" that comes along with advocating that people commit criminal acts. It doesn't matter where it takes place...be it at an anti-war rally or in a mosque.
If you seriously advocate overthrowing the government or hurting people in violation of the law, you at LEAST belong in prison.
If somebody issues a Fatwa calling for people to kill Americans, they should be arrested or killed, depending on the circumstances and their location.
