The Importance Of The PATRIOT Act
You succinctly described the actions necessary for national security. As you noted, this is not always viewed as politically correct. The PATRIOT Act is an example of a polarizing issue. At its core, the PATRIOT Act has expanded surveillance capabilities and has been said to have been responsible for thwarting terrorist attacks since 9/11. Critics will note that the PATRIOT Act has infringed on civil liberties, but it seems that dealing with terrorism calls for more scrutiny in the name of national security. The current reality is that Radical Islam is the enemy against the founding principles of the United States. “Contrary to repeated Muslim denials, key aspects of the ideology of radical violent Muslim groups are indeed rooted in Islamic
texts and history” (Azumah, 2015). A great issue in dealing with Radical Islam is understanding what makes mostly young men allow themselves to be radicalized. For this reason, more champions for Christ are needed in government roles such as the Department of Homeland Security. In order for American democracy to withstand the threat of Radical Islam, citizens must step out, speak out and look towards Jesus for an example.
