A New York lawmaker wants to treat white supremacists like foreign jihadists.
Is this the solution, or a new war on terror?
BROOKLYN If all else were to fail in his fight against the threat of domestic terrorism, Rep. Max Rose offered an unconventional plan to protect the Brooklynites who had come to hear him speak at a Jewish community center: Hed stand on guard duty at their places of worship himself.
Right in front of your church, and your mosque, or your synagogue, the Army combat veteran said.
Ill do it, Rose told the people who came out to this low-slung stretch of Ocean Parkway, where mosques and synagogues sit next to auto repair shops and fast food joints. Im a scary-looking dude, right?
Short and bald, with eyes that fold into an intense interrogatory squint, the first-term congressman representing Staten Island and a narrow wedge of Brooklyn looks more like an outside linebacker than a first-term legislator.
