Also, and sure one says that until it changes, but it's not so much about actual terrorism. The reasoning is avoiding extremism, parallel societies, people taought to not believe in western society and our constitutional state. The fear is that people opposed to the state of law are breeded in these mosques, not that it harbors actual terrorists. But sure you're right, they possibly now just get breeded elsewhere, possibly more in the underground with even less state control. This whole deed won't help much.
Going after the individuals is a tough thing to do. Most are probably just more or less disgusting extremists, but didn't actually break a law. And abandoning the state of law to fight those who want to do just that is a questionable approach.
So you can't fear what may happen (as you told me earlier) if you do this and create terrorists, but you can fear that inaction may create terrorists? It's an interesting example of perspective because you can easily say both decisions are based on fear, as are most decisions in life.
Also if these places were such blatant locations of extremist indoctrination, why couldn't you walk in and arrest those people doing it? It almost seems your contradictory in that they are disguised, but not so well that you can easily point to the mosques and close them in a large sweeping action.
