Religion of Peace update: Feds seize mosques, skyscraper

Federal prosecutors have taken steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.

In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.

The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston,  more than 100 acres in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

    But we are Islamophobics if we suspect Muslims of crimes. Especially without reason, such as September 11th, Fort Hood, or this list:
    This is from the US Department of State and only include the years: 1961-2003

    The length of this list and savage brutality of the crimes will shock you.
