Muslim Community School in Potomac....

"If I had to choose sides, I'd stay with being Muslim," said eighth-grader Ibrahim. "Being an American means nothing to me. I'm not even proud of telling my cousins in Pakistan that I'm American."....

I can't post any more than this because it's from the Washington Post.

Read the whole article here.

This is a repost from an ealier post which had to be pulled. I quoted too much from this Washington Post article earlier. Please read the article then post your comments.

5th columnists must be deported or we will face another 9-11.

[white trash redneck]

It seems that political correctness is keeping us from deporting Arab and Muslim non-citizens here on visas. We will rue this decision.

[Zeko]

From the original WP article:

Several leaders of Muslim groups in Washington did not want to be quoted criticizing an Islamic institution, but privately said that the Potomac school's political leanings are heavily influenced by Iran and are at odds with what's taught at other Islamic schools in the region.

This is precisely the problem . . . it seems to me that sooner or later these people will either have to "criticize an Islamic institution" or by continued public silence give support to institutions like these.

I'm not a person who wants to persecute anyone, but if you aren't an AMERICAN then you shouldn't be here.

[JeepInMazar]

Exactly.

"Being an American means nothing to me. I'm not even proud of telling my cousins in Pakistan that I'm American."

I strongly advocate removing young Ibrahim's source of embarassment post haste.

[gjenkins]

Bye bye Ibrahim, and heres a nice MRE parting gift for ya.

[Anamensis]

I want all these SOBs out of here. And I don't think there's anything wrong with saying so. After all, I'm not saying "kill them" I'm just saying "let them live elsewhere."

[justabig]

Ibrahim - I hear Pakistan is nice this time of year. Why don't you get a one-way ticket? What can we do about these "americans?"

We as a nation need to reread the Constitution and understand that we are at war. the United States of America has enemies who have attacked this nation. There is no First Amendment Right to Commit Treason. Treason is defined as making war on the United States of America or giving aid and comfort to the eneies of the United States of America. If we do not enforce these laws we might as well surrender today. Unless we enforce the laws against treason we face defeat.

Thanks for posting this. Disgusting but hardly surprising.

"Let me jump in," said Salahudeen Kareem, principal of the Muslim Community School -- a 17-year-old, 150-student private school serving pre-kindergarten through 11th grade. "Allegiance to national authority is one thing, but the one who gives us life is more entitled to that authority.

The Muslim Community School shares space and directors with the Islamic Education Center, which runs religious and language classes and has close ties to the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, and, according to U.S. officials, is "entirely controlled by the government of Iran."

Is the Muslim Community School teaching hate? Kareem said that was impossible, that Islam is a faith of peace. "Our kids are not insensitive or uncaring," he said. "It's not that they are targeting somebody. These are the reference points we are exposing them to, because we don't see ourselves in nation-state terms. We are our own nation."

Seems clear to me that the Potomac Muslim Community School is brainwashing children. I wonder if the principal's comments pass the test for statements of sedition? I sometimes loath the price we pay for being an open society, allowing human filth from every corner of the globe to emigrate here and spew their foul doctrines.

 There is no First Amendment Right to Commit Treason. Treason is defined as making war
on the United States of America or giving aid and comfort to the eneies of the United States of America

Aid and comfort has to be a little more than
teaching historical baloney.  Else, you would
have to arrest every Marxist professor in
academe.  Treason is what Clinton did.  Don't
cheapen the act with histrionics.

Then het your sorry, pathetic self out of this country. As they say: "Love it or LEAVE It!"!!

Agreed. And if we can't prosecute them under that law, we ought to deport these people.

>"Fighting a person who has the same beliefs would be tough," added Kamal, the son of an American convert to Islam and a Moroccan man. "I guess there is a conflict between being loyal to the government and being loyal to your faith."

Little Kamal doesn't understand the difference between being loyal to your country and loyal to your government. Wouldn't want him voting anyway. OUT!
