Yes, now that I've had some time to digest and think on it.

"Pocius doesn’t court any kind of official support from the United States, as a counterweight to jihadism. Indeed, official support would tend to discredit him, and in any case he is bitter toward America for treating him, in his words, as “less than a citizen.” (He alleges that the government paid spies to infiltrate his mosque and harassed his mother at work with questions about his being a potential terrorist.)"

Kinda hard to feel sorry for him when he believes and preaches:

"Through this fastidious observance, they believe, God will favor them with strength and numbers, and perhaps a caliphate will arise. At that moment, Muslims will take vengeance and, yes, achieve glorious victory at Dabiq. "

For those that are not near Dabiq, who are they going to take vengeance out on? That kinda runs hand in hand with telling everyone in his Mosque to be ready to commit violence when the time comes.

I'm not against bringing in refugee's, and I've stated all along that Family's should be first, followed by Women and Children. The men need to be last in the pecking order. To me, they are the ones that pose the most danger out of that group.
