From a statement by the United American Committee:
...the organization is demanding that Washington awake to the issue of Islamic extremism in America. “We can not afford to allow terrorists to spread their ideology in prison, or anywhere in America.” says U.A.C. founder Jesse Petrilla responding to yesterday’s sentence of would be LAX bomber Ahmed Ressam to a maximum of 22 years in prison. “Terrorists should be punished with none other than capitol punishment.” says Petrilla. The United American Committee platform was sent to President Bush last week, one point states that the death penalty should be extended to those who commit or are in the process of committing terrorist attacks as defined in the patriot act. “A revolution has been sparked, we have to take action before it is too late.” says U.A.C. member Robert Sandoval.The United American Committee platform is as follows:
1. Our goal is the unity of all Americans, against the threats of Islamic extremism which face our nation and a goal of ensuring a secure future of America. We will accomplish our goals set forth through the following actions: Educate our society on the natures of our enemies. Inform the American people on issues which must be resolved. Influence and encourage the actions of the President and Congress to accomplish our goals.
2. Our goal is that freedom for all religious faiths continues, insofar as they do not endanger the American people, or the existence of democracy.
3. Our goal is the education of the American people regarding the philosophies and activities of our enemies which are operating from within the United States borders. Therefore any terrorist activities found to be operating within our borders should be brought to the attention of the American people. The citizens must be informed at all times. Any threat to the American people and to American democracy shall be dealt with immediately.
Furthermore, it is the duty of every American to report to authorities any activities observed which may inflict harm upon the American people.
4. We encourage the judicial system of the United States to enact the following in regards to terrorist activities: Terrorist activities by those who wish to inflict injury of the common welfare of the United States and the American populace, who are captured while in the process of committing a terrorist attack as defined by the patriot act, shall not be allowed to continue spreading his/her ideology in any matter, but shall be dealt with by capitol punishment, regardless of creed or race. For their accomplices, no parole shall ever be granted to those who have plotted or assisted in the plot against the common welfare of America and the American people.
5. Those who reside in America who are aliens, whether documented or undocumented, and who are not citizens, who are from countries with governments which have known ties to Islamic extremism, shall not only be subject to American laws, but shall be subject to strict immigration laws. Current immigration laws must be enforced to the full, and must not be restricted. Any violation of these laws must be dealt with by immediate deportation.
Those coming from countries whose governments have known ties to Islamic extremism, wishing to gain entry to America shall be closely scrutinized, and access shall only be granted after a lengthy process of research and analysis of the individual case.
6. Our nation's security shall come first and foremost. The United American Committee is dedicated to protecting the American people, and allowing them to live safe and comfortable lives, without the threats of Islamic extremism and terrorist activities. We feel a key to accomplishing this is by maintaining a secure border. Our goal is an increase in border security along both our northern and southern borders, as well as an increase in funding to Coast Guard and Immigration agencies so that they may work efficiently and that the American people may live in safety.
7. We encourage laws to be implemented stating that no organization of any kind deemed to be promoting ideals which endanger the American populace shall receive funding by any foreign government or other foreign source. We encourage the United States government to closely scrutinize the funding of any organization from a foreign source.
8. Our goal is for America to cease dependency on imported oil from countries tied to Islamic extremism. We encourage the United States government to expand our importation of fuels from allied democratic nations, as well as to decrease exportation of American oil. The United American Committee also encourages automotive corporations to pursue alternative fuels in order to help decrease the funding of foreign regimes which have known ties to Islamic extremism.
9. The United American Committee believes education is a key to a bright future. We ask that the education system of America shall teach our youth the facts, and the true nature of our extremist enemies. Our educators shall not feel pressure to withhold vital information for fear of reprimand due to political correctness. Our youth are our nation's future. We must hold their education to the highest level of importance.
10. Our goal is to encourage Muslim Americans to embrace democratic ideals, and the American way of life. All citizens are equal and are entitled to the rights granted by the United States constitution. These rights may only be revoked when an individual, regardless of creed or race, commits an act against his/her fellow American or against the American populace, whether by action or intent. We encourage American Muslims to denounce the ideals of our extremist enemies, and to stand against our enemy's terrorist actions.

I agree and add to your list: "no one convicted of aiding, supporting or giving comfort to a State Dept. designated terrorist organiztion can be deported."
They MUST serve their time here and no go to their home of origin where they are freed to start the cycle all over again!

As insidious anti-American fifth-columnists have infiltrated every agency, institution, bureaucracy, and level of government, it is unlikely that the above points will ever happen.

I have often wondered what the mood in the room in Beijing must have been like when it was agreed by all of the small group present to embark on the Cultural Revolution. Mao and his pals knew that there was going to be no unscrambling those eggs once it was launched. It was one of those pull on the tail of the elephant and hope it moves in the right direction scenarios.
We have the same phenomenon in the Western pluralistic societies. There is good reason that the worldview of the median voter is so firmly ensconced in its place in the multidimensional public choice space. It is by design, a system that possesses as much inertia as the founders of Western democratic systems could conceive. It is very difficult to move the multidimensional aggregation of the point of view of the median voter, much more difficult than in totalitarian systems.
The downside of this inertia is that it really takes a powerful force to move it. The upside is that it really takes a powerful force to move it.
Once it is moved, however the effort to return it to some previous state is well nigh impossible. Japan found that out the hard way in December 1941 and Mao and his band discovered in 1966.
There are an increasing number of signs that the American median voter position is again on the move with regard to the threat of jihad conquest. The spontaneous emergence of organizations such as the United American Committee and many more like it is a natural consequence of the growing awareness of the American people of the nature and current state of the jihad conquest. It is pluralism in action.
If the conditions which spawn such movements remain, eventually a critical mass of these movements will achieve the sort of force that Alexander Hamilton alluded to in his Federalist essays, the force necessary to move the position of the median voter to a location on the national policy spectrum that will result in the kind of public choices made by the United States between 1942 and 1945.
The gist is that the aggregate movement of the public choice point in the United States seems to be in the direction that has not been seen since 1942. If it continues in this direction, history has shown that full mobilization of the American economy to a war footing will be inevitable at some point on the path.
I pray every waking moment that this assessment is wrong but I'm more convinced every passing day that the spectre of a global conflagration is just over the horizon. Woe to all thed hundreds of millions who will experience the suffering on a scale not seen since WWII. What wonder to all who will witness the glory of heroes whose spirits transcend the ages.

"The spontaneous emergence of organizations such as the United American Committee and many more like it is a natural consequence of the growing awareness of the American people of the nature and current state of the jihad conquest. It is pluralism in action."
Yes, Sir. As you say, MrMack, once the stampede of freedom begins to roll, it's unstoppable.
We need a similar change in relation to the change energy supply paradigm: the emergence of multiple alternative energy sources (nuclear, eolic, solar, fuel cells, coal, et caetera) and carriers (in example, electricity, or hydrogen) in order to reduce the dependence on, and relevance of, oil. We need an Energy Internet.
In both cases, the initial inertia is the main burden to overcome. I think that a requirement in order to prevail is the spirit of the American revolution to be reenacted. Otherwise, America would face the same slow euthanasia as Europe, today immersed into the post-Judeo-Christian Eurabian nigthmare.

Joel,
Yes, feel free to ignore the Islamic stampede of freedom.
As for the United American Committee, I have to agree with them. I'm going to go visit their web site, and what else they say. I might even join them.
Freedom is for those who believe in the concepts of individual freedom, individual dignity, democracy, and the Biblical concepts of human rights which our country is founded.
You can find them in the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution.
All men (and women) created equal, the right to freedom of religion, freedom of association, etc. etc.
The United States should deport or jail those who attack and abuse the freedoms of our Constitution and civil law, with the intention of reinstituting slavery, religious terrorism, and murder.
And likewise, we shouldn't be afraid to kill those who try to kill us. It's about time the U.S. government start thinking more about how its citizens, than the 'feelings' of our psuedo friends in the Islamic World. In a sentence:
"You're either with us or against us."

Let's hope they get to Bill Frist while he is in a receptive mood, quick!
Good ideas, and let's help get them implemented!
Their motto could be:
MIHI CURA FUTURI.
(My care is for the future.)

Educate our society on the natures of our enemies.

The “Law of abrogation” had been invented by non-Muslims to mutilate Islam; and then claim that Islam recommends violence. Please see the discussion in http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/007370.php clearly establishing that abrogation does not exist. All of the Holy Quran is alive and is effective. The Holy Quran would be living and effective until the Day of Judgment. No part of the Holy Quran can be wished away. The Holy Quran is like a holographic photograph; the totality must be taken into consideration before arriving at any conclusion regarding Islam.
We do hope that the Muslim believers would have the opportunity to educate the Americans with regard to Islam. To permit non-Muslims to educate the Americans regarding Islam would be patently unfair.

2:106 . Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allâh is able to do all things?
