Lawyers for Minnesota terror suspects argue ISIL not a terrorist organization Attorneys for 7 suspects in FBI case are also seeking lighter security at trial, saying it could influence jury.

Defense attorneys for seven suspects charged with supporting terrorism are arguing that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is not a terrorist organization because it operates a government and regulates services for citizens living under its control in Syria. In one of several motions filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, the attorneys argued that despite its reputation for brutality, ISIL carries many characteristics of a government that tends to day-to-day business and that therefore criminal charges against the defendants are too broad.

Oh of course not.

But my sweet little Christian Aunt Edna... carrying her green bean casserole into Sunday School... now there’s a terrorist. Ms Edna is what people should be really scared of.

Obama’s new oath of allegiance

The original oath required incoming citizens to declare that they will “bear arms on behalf of the United States” and “perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States” when required by the law.

Now the USCIS says, “A candidate [to U.S. citizenship] may be eligible to exclude these two clauses based on religious training and belief or a conscientious objection.”

The new changes further add that new candidates “May be eligible for [additional?] modifications based on religious training and belief, or conscientious objection arising from a deeply held moral or ethical code.”

Paraphrasing the La Raza motto: “To Allah, render everything; to the infidels, nothing”

In other news, American lawyers argue that murder isn’t violent and robbery isn’t an expropriation of private property.

For substantial fees, of course.
