Khaled Abu Dahab, convicted al Qaeda recruiter, stripped of U.S. citizenship
The Washington Times ^ | 21 Apr, 2017 | Andrew Blake

A former car salesman who admittedly operated a “communications hub” for Islamic terrorists from his California apartment was formally stripped of U.S. citizenship this week by a federal court judge.

Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell authorized Wednesday a court order officially denaturalizing Khaled Abu Dahab, an Egyptian-born al Qaeda recruiter who was given U.S. citizenship in 1997, the Justice Department said.

Dahab, 57, was arrested in Cairo a year later and ultimately admitted being a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, or EIJ — an al Qaeda affiliate designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. and others, the Justice Department said. He was subsequently tried, convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Dahab told investigators he recruited Americans into al Qaeda while he lived in California for 12 years employed as a car salesman, and even said his services earned recognition from Osama bin Laden himself, according to prosecutors.

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, Dahab was required to maintain “good moral character” to gain citizenship, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Well, really it ought not matter because he should be dead, executed for treason.

If this is now some ruse to get him safely back to the Middle East, that is not good.

How does this kind of crap fly undetected for 20 freaking years? 19 years ago he admitted in Cairo his was tied to terrorist activity and the US let him back in where he’s been safely recruiting terrorists in my state? I don’t want to hear crap about what a racist Trump is. Check all these Middle Easterners OUT. If they’re no good them the hell out!

Chip him and release him into the wilds of Egypt. Follow him around with drones. Fire if anything ‘looks’ suspicious. ;)

“How does this kind of crap fly undetected for 20 freaking years?”

An excellent question to ask our crack intel agencies, who are on conservative organizations and Donald Trump like white on rice. Who is running this chicken outfit?

The only top tier so far in this administration are AG Sessions and General Kelly. Oh, yeah, and Melania and Tiffany.

Why is citizenship being given to any member of this anti-American death cult?

Forget communists and nazis...If islam is not the epitome of subversive (anti-American & anti-Constitutional), then I don’t know what would be.

The politicians that have allowed this enemy into the U.S. need to be tried for treason and hanged.

They are given Citizenship for two reasons: !. The Democrat Party needs the votes. 2.The Democrat Party believes that they believes that they can be used to wipe out Christians, Conservatives, Jews, and Whites, which is true. They also believe that they can keep them under their control after this happens. Too late they will learn that this one is not true.

“The Justice Department is committed to protecting our nation’s national security and will aggressively pursue denaturalization of known or suspected terrorists,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. “This case demonstrates the Department’s commitment to using all tools at its disposal, both criminally and civilly, to strategically enforce our nation’s immigration laws and to disrupt international terrorism.”
