An expert on terrorism says Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain was right on the mark in his concerns about the construction of a mega-mosque in Tennessee.

In a recent interview on Fox News Channel, Chris Wallace questioned Cain about his stated opposition to the controversial mosque project in Murfreesboro, which is also opposed by many residents in the area. Cain told Wallace that while the U.S. Constitution guarantees separation of church and state, Islam combines church and state -- and the mosque developers, he added, want to use the mosque to infuse sharia law into the community.

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch says Cain is right.

"He raised the possibility that there was Muslim Brotherhood involvement," notes Spencer. "That should be investigated since the Muslim Brotherhood actually is connected with all the major Islamic organizations in the United States and most of the mosques.

"And we need to understand -- as Cain pointed out -- that sharia is a political and social system and not just an individual religious faith; and as such it is in contradiction to the Constitution in many particulars," he adds. "And so what did Herman Cain say exactly that wasn't true?"

But at least one Christian leader is taking issue with Cain's criticism of the mosque project. While he agrees with Cain's concerns over shariah law, Dr. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission argues that Muslims have a right to places of worship.
