Radical Islam has been in existence for a relatively long time. It is a group that believes in the Islamic faith and claims to advocate for peace while it is involved in activism. However, the organization is known to cause terrorist attacks both in America and other regions which result in loss of lives. While Ryan Mauro and the Clarion Project exposed a considerable amount of information about radical Islam, the government should be on the lookout to prevent any harm.
The two reported that the Muslims of America (MOA) have specific rural areas such as in Virginia and New York where they train their members for attacks, assassins, and other criminal acts. Additionally, the reports revealed that some would be taken to Pakistan to receive further training before coming back and being members of Al-Qaida. Nevertheless, they claimed that the information is not true as they are only in the US to practice the faith. I agree with these findings because the Clarion Project acknowledged that it received confession videos from members of these groups. It confirms that indeed these operations are taking place and they are likely to cause harm through attacks once they are ready and if the government fails to act quickly.
Two groups of people that should be responsible for trying to control the radical associations. Firstly, the government should also be vigilant by forming committees to confirm that indeed what is reported is taking place.

Consequently, they will be able to execute strategies to increase homeland security such as understanding cyberspace that is mostly used to conduct these offenses as well as strict immigration rules to prevent entry of criminals . Additionally, the Muslim leaders ought, to be honest, and instill the same values to the followers of this faith so that they can be trusted. They should also strive to curb extremist teachings in their faith that leads to violence.
