I guess I'm missing the relevance of this statement. I don't believe it's a question of their sincerity or the honest measure of their belief. Whether or not they are politicians in religious clothing or sincere, it makes no difference as to their motivation. The tenants and doctrines of Wahabism are incompatibilty with our value system. Our values are mutually exclusive. That's the danger. How can we be tolerant of something that at it's face value endangers our way of life?

It makes little sense to fight the Wahabi jihadist in Afghanistan and Iraq and at the same time let the same sect flourish or gain a foothold here. I guess we are at war with intolerance which would also extend to any other religion that seeks to usurp the individual freedom and volition of Americans.

History has taught us that letting small, "unimportant" and "innocent" actions in the name of being "nice and inclusive because many of them are nice people" can lead to extremely dangerous consequences.
I believe this is an important point. Additonally, there's no door keeping folks here. If they desire to be governed by Sharia law, there's a ton of places where they can go. Why would anyone who wants to live under Sharia law want to live in the U.S.? Unless, their purpose is to change our way of life and neutralize us from within.

If that's true, then we truly are at war with Islam, but we just have not as yet defined the rules of engagement.
