That being said, again that one turkish mosque is run by the Grey Wolves, which is these guys. To be more precise, it is run by a splinter group who thought the Grey Wolves are too moderate. This doesn't fall within the realms of constitutional protection and I'm happy that one mosque is closed down. That's political Islam in its most radical showing.

As for the overstep... there are certain laws in place regarding the funding. If funding comes from abroad, we have the legal tools to close a mosque down. And I don't consider that an attack on religious freedom, especially when it's really not so much about theology, but about recruitment of radical Erdogan followers.

Right wing Nazi loving militias are allowed to exist in the US. We draw the line at crime, calling for violence, and terrorism.

So to me, until it comes to that, it seems like an infringement.
