The “foreign infiltration” argument sounds remarkably similar to the ones used against Roman Catholics from the time of 19th century Irish immigration until the inauguration of JFK. FWIW, despite the tagline, I am Lutheran.

The “foreign infiltration” argument sounds remarkably similar to the ones used against Roman Catholics from the time of 19th century Irish immigration until the inauguration of JFK.

Just because an argument was mis-used at one time, doesn't make it misused for all time.

We know Roman Catholicism was not an infiltration of a foreign government, nor was it out to destroy the American way of life (even if everyone had converted to it). Wahabbi Islam however is explicitly committed to destroying American liberties however, through the imposition of Sharia law... Wahabbism is THE form of Islam most responsible for the many thousands of terrorist incidents occurring since the 1960s (and before). The 9/11 hijackers were all Wahabbists, as is Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and every other terror group not directly supported by Iran's equally murderous and fanatical Shiite government.

If the Japanese had Emperor worship temples in America before WWII, you can KNOW, they would have been shut down, their precious religion be d*mned. Yes, we did intern Japanese indiscriminately, and unconstitutionally just because of their race (I won't defend that)...still, when a form of religion is out to destroy our state--as Wahabbist Islam is...we cannot treat it like a normal, typical, religion. Nazism too had pretty profoundly religious elements (like fanatical worship/devotion to Hitler), something also we didn't tolerate in the USA during WWII.

Religious devotion to tyranny is in no way what the 1st Amendment was written to protect, and that's exactly what Saudi supported Wahabbism is about.

Personally I think Congress should pass a law saying that religious contributions from any country that does not have religious toleration in it itself, is not allowed.

In Saudi Arabia, you or I, even as American Citizens, would be arrested and expelled, if they found even a personal pocket bible on our person. The same penalty for praying...or meeting with other foreign Christians for worship....or even mentioning the name of Jesus in the wrong place. And a Saudi citizen...or even a Muslim from another country, faces the DEATH PENALTY if they convert to another religion from Islam. The death penalty for "apostasy" is recognized in not just Wahabism, but in all major forms of Islam. Is this really what the 1st Amendment was meant to protect?
