If you have a name like Muhammand, then go to a place like Pakistan for 4 years, and then refuse to answer some questions for the FBI, you should NEVER be allowed on US soil again, whether you were born here, naturalized, of whatever.

If you have a name like Muhammand Matthew, then go to a place like PakistanRussia or England for 4 years, and then refuse to answer some questions for the FBI, you should NEVER be allowed on US soil again, whether you were born here, naturalized, of whatever.

Make DAMNED sure that any law / action / whatever is not going to pich if it is ever turned on you.

I do not have a problem being questioned by the FBI, and disallowed re-entry if I don't comply. I have been questioned oversees, in Western Europe, in a friendly country, prior to leaving for my return to the US (on a US airline, well prior to 9/11). I noted it was a bit strange and to this day I don't know who questioned me or why, but I really didn't care. I simply answered all of the questions. It was a business trip for a legit company and I simply told the truth. It wasn't very hard on me.

I have no doubt that, at least the Muzzie kid, would have been allowed to return to the US if and when he answered the questions. He may not have liked the results if the FBI determined that he was training for American Jihad (i.e., jail somewhere), but he should have expected such. America does not (yet) leave its native-born citizens hanging overseas with no way home - but we also will not take back people who don't play by the rules when it comes to re-entry responsibilities. As to the father (naturalized), I think there may be legal ways to pull his citizenship, but I'm not sure, and it wasn't discussed here.

Be the name Matthew or Muhammand, if you are associated with elements of terrorism you are under the scope of interrogation at best...at worst, you're dead.
