How to keep an anti-American Islamist cleric from changing city...?

[CAnnoneer]

Choosing between OBL's words & actions and your apologies is not a real choice.  OBL has the weight of blood, death and Mohammed's text behind his words.  You have...only words.

I must disagree - besides words, our resident tossintaliban has many years of anti-American indoctrination as well as the benefit of liberal-arts training in demagogy and politically-correct history. He is well prepared for his subversive, treasonous work.

CAnnoneer:

Your cautions regarding fifth-columnist agitprop are noted.  It can be as/more effective than physical attacks.

CAnnoneer,

Just a question:

If humanities aren't worth studying, why did you study history?  Presumably you did, or else you wouldn't really be qualified to say whether or not my versions of historical events are inaccurate but "politically correct" or not, right?

Hmm...looks like there's some purpose for people who do things other than engineer new toys after all.

Nah, save it for your actual deathbed. 

Then sneak a priest past the coven and have him hit you with the old "Last Rites" on the sly.  A little "ominous dominous" and you're covered if our team turns out to be right. 

Think ya can pull an Emperor Gaius Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus on me, do ya?  Try it!  Even your elite ninja-priests are no match for my coven of beautiful but deadly assassins, raised from birth to be my sworn bodyguards. 

Oh wait, that was some bad anime I saw.  Err...  Nothing to see here, move along!

Technically I was thinking you'd be the one sneaking in the ninja Jesuits, for a little fire insurance, so to speak.

"Elite ninja priests" 

[preacherman]At least both ninjas & priests both make a habit of wearing black.[/preacherman]

I assure you that human sacrifices are no longer practiced to gain the Gods' favor.

My old unit once had an interesting chaplain.  He served one too many tours in Vietnam, went crazy (as in committed crazy), found Jesus and became a priest.  His sermons were often regarding the necessity of killing communists.  He saw no reason to stop making said sermons even after the USSR fell.  Very inspirational speaker.  During field exercises, if he was not satisfied with the quality of OpFor, he'd dismiss them and do it himself.  He once snuck into a TOC, past three companies of infantry, and capped the officers.  Simulated, of course.  Then managed to sneak out.  The stories vary on whether he used blanks, smoke grenades or tear gas grenades to clear the TOC.
