Fending off McCormick’s attacks in March, Oz suggested that his religion is being targeted, accusing McCormick of making “bigoted attacks” that are “reminiscent of slurs made in the past about Catholics and Jews.”

Oz has maintained that he served in Turkey’s military as a young man to keep his dual citizenship. He keeps it to this day, he said, so he has legal power in Turkey to make health care decisions for his mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease.

Oz voted in Turkey’s 2018 election when he was at the consulate in New York for meetings about his humanitarian work on behalf of Syrian refugees in Turkey, his campaign said.

He voted against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his campaign said, noting that it is not unusual for Americans with dual citizenship to vote in elections in other countries.

I see you found an article about Oz and his voting.

No truer words: Politics makes for strange bedfellows.

Dual citizens voting in foreign elections used to mean forfeit of American citizenship. As usual, an out of control Supreme Court invalidated the practice in Afroyim v. Rusk, 1967.

In that case, the SC rejected its own precedent set in Perez v. Brownell, 1958.

ISLAM is not a religion. It is a worldview that is contrary to the U.S. Constitution. Muslim religion turns political and ends in domination forcing the population to submit.
