>>what if a U.S. Citizen has family there?
Oh, I do know of some. One guy, a civilian computer consultant, a Pakistani by birth, naturalized US citizen, works for an Indian consulting outfit.
He’s been getting pretty thoroughly checked, particularly after short trips to Pakistan, from India or Europe and then back here.
I agree with your points about jihadis, but until we get rid of our political shackles, we are helpless.
IMO, the only country that deals with this has a large indigenous Muslim population, and while they are pampered in many ways there too, they have established some control.
They haven’t gotten rid of nutty imams, crazy jihadis and their friends, but they have scared them enough to keep them relatively quiet most of the time, Kashmir being an exception because of infiltration from Pakistan.
Professional Indian Muslims who visit here are often shocked by the revanchism and orthodoxy of their American counterparts.
I do have one “shocking” suggestion.
If a Muslim woman can wear a burka in public, then why can’t some guy or girl wear a white burka. We ban KKK type outfits with masks in public, why shouldn’t the same apply to Muslim women, wear it but show your face.
Yes, I’m weird.
Yes, I’m weird.
Actually, at one time, before Halloween became an adult holiday, wearing a mask , i.e. "covering the face" was prohibited in many municipalities, due to the fact that that it interfered with identification by law enforcement should a crime be commited.
I am in complete agreement; as a citizen, I should be able to see the faces of those around me. This is what it means to be an American citizen or resident.
Thanks for the comments. I will have to admit to being amazed what Imams can get away with in the United States. Talk of infidels in terms of blistering anyone who isn’t a Muslim should be suspect. Talk of radicalism, turning this nation into a Sharia nation should be suspect. Any talk of violence should be suspect. (this is supposed to be a melting pot, not a potters wheel)
If this is taking place, remove their ability to lead the group. Remove the tax breaks and refuse to recognize the organization as a church. If it’s a criminal organization label it as a gang and break it up. Set up statutes that make it a crime to incite from the pulpit and enforce it, or let them exit to the nation of their choice. We don’t need them.
Laws like this would have to be drafted very carefully, so other religious organizations couldn’t have their right to voice support for sound governance infringed.
