ISIS inspires its
adherents from thousands of miles away. That is a problem. And just as
this bill gets at a narrow, specific potential vulnerability, policies
to deal with homegrown extremists and terrorists should take a hard
look at causes and take appropriate action to prevent this sort of
radicalization on American shores. We won't solve this problem by slamming shut America's front door and
clamping down on immigration. In fact, doing so just contributes to the
terrorist's ideological ammunition and recruitment efforts. There are
proven ways to combat terrorism, but demonizing a religion or chipping
away at constitutional rights won't work.
