BBC NEWS | World | Europe | France 'to expel radical imams'
by Decius at 1:20 pm EDT, Jul 17, 2005

French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to deport any Muslim cleric preaching violence.
Speaking after meeting his Spanish counterpart in Madrid, Mr Sarkozy said he would seek the expulsion of imams in France "whose sermons are radical".

Here is an interesting Freedom of Speech/Religion quandry. Where is the line?

Moreover, who decides that line? The whole situation is a glaring catalyst for McCarthyism, but, even knowing that, I just can't justify someone encouraging people to blow up train stations.

As much as a I want to lean left on this one, damnit if the car isn't pulling back to center.
