A Mosque Grows In Virginia

I applaud what the Jewish and Muslim societies are doing to support the American Muslim experience. Nothing is more important to the continuation of our society than incorporating all peoples into our country and its basic tenets of belief.
However, as a former southern Baptist and now atheist familiar with the atrocities committed in the name of religion in the south (i.e., Klan), I am concerned about the communities and their ability to prevent their children from becoming prey to the radical extremists.
Can someone please speak to this issue?
