Congressional letter to SECDEF Gates demands end to Islamic lectures to troops by Louay Safi and ISNA

From Jawa Report:

Earlier this month we were the first to report, along with JihadWatch, that terror-tied Islamic speaker Louay Safi had just given a lecture at Ft Hood on Islam to troops departing for Afghanistan. Andy McCarthy at NRO followed up on that reporting, as did other media outlets. Safi subsequently complained of being the victim of smears for us reporting that he had been recorded on FBI wiretaps talking to terrorist leaders and such (which is all a matter of public record).

Now a group of congressmen have sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates demanding that all lectures by Safi and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) to military troops be halted immediately.

Hey, here's an idea: let's end ALL lectures on religion to military personnel. Anyone remember the frickin' First Amendment? No doubt if troops were receiving lectures on the 1400 years of Islamic invasion and occupation, and the heroics of Western Civilization repulsing the Islamic jihad from the Spanish Reconquista to the defense of Vienna, Safi, ISNA and their various Islamist cohorts would be screaming bloody murder (and/or engaging in it). And the ACLU would have filed lawsuits to stop such long ago.
