NEW YORK (AP) Federal prosecutors Thursday took 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 (40 hectares) of land in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.
Long suspected? As long there is no proof, I do not support seizure of anyone's property.
If they've taken this action, odds are very high they've got the hard evidence.

I could agree with you here.
Based on your own words, this analogy should be correct: If we've taken the action (i.e. calling Obama a communist), odds are very high we got the hard evidence.
Do you agree?
NEW YORK Federal prosecutors are taking steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a New York City skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization. The organization called the Alavi Foundation has long been suspected of being under Iranian government control. Prosecutors say the foundation has been helping to illegally funnel money back to the Iranian government.
The government filed a forfeiture action in federal court in New York to seize four mosques in the city and in Maryland, California and Houston. The government also wants to take control of a 36-story office tower on New York's Fifth Avenue.
The filing starts what could be a drawn-out legal process.

I certainly don't.
What do you stand to lose if you're wrong?

At least A15 get it, you still don't. Read his post after one you quoted.

I got where you were going, but it's irrelevant. Federal investigators aren't going to just randomly put the trigger on a case. There are actual losses for being wrong. That's not true for some angry cranks pounding their keyboards.

And I agreed with you on that one.
However, nobody is calling Obama a socialist just for fun. He's actually giving people plenty of reasons for that.
I'd like to see the buildings burned to the ground. Then we can build a sty and put in a herd of pigs.
