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.

Where's the "caped crusader" when we need him? Islam has defined a state of war between itself and everyone else, and deserves this to be taken to its ultimate and logical conclusion.

People not happy, Muslin or otherwise should LEAVE! It's really that simple. The taliban wouldn't stand for divided loyalty or even no loyalty.

"Almost no matter what they were asked, the students' answers often included something about how the United States should focus not just on bin Laden's terror network but on "the real terrorists," which is their code for Israel, which they refer to as "the illegitimate Zionist regime." "

They don't see this nazi, bin laden as evil. They, muslins ARE anti-semetics. They hate Jews and Christians. Christians have taken on the mantle of persecution that the Jews, Orthodox, have withstood. I'm remain a Zionist. Israel belongs to the Jews and are God's chosen people. Yes, eternal life has opened up to Gentiles but God still loves His Jewish people too.

There's an easy solution to this: Send them for a whole year to live amongst their own people and see if they don't get an enlightenment. If they prefer to live there, then they should renounce citizenship. They obviously are taught these things at home and I believe their parents deserve the majority of the blame. So much for tolerance from the Muslim community!

"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."

"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."

Now just where is the NEA gestopo? Why do they allow this and disallow other faiths to dare be mentioned/

[Doc On The Bay]

In safer, quieter times, your "comment" would have been "UN-PC," but you are NOW correct.

"Non-Citizens" need to leave our "Nation-at-War!" We CANNOT "Guarantee Their Safety!"

When we are again "at peace," they should be welcomed back.

For Now, ALL "non-Citizens" in our country SHOULD BE "Suspect."

Doc

We ARE AT WAR!

This is a private school, not public.

I posted this article a couple weeks ago, you might like it. What is Treason

[WIMom]

Constitution of the United States of America

Article III. Section. 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Thanks for the flag.

Treason:

the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government

Put me down with ChemistCat.

"People who dilute the meaning of the word "treason" worry me. I was accused of treason last night for saying that flag-burning,
like flag-waving and flag-wearing, is protected conduct under the First Amendment (if done reasonably safely so that no one is
actually physically endangered.)

"I've also seen the word "traitor" used as a synonym for Democrat or any even mildly liberal persons. Myself, I think the word
ought to be reserved for those who KNOWINGLY commit deliberate ACTS that actually threaten the safety of this nation.
(The word "knowingly" ought to let most Democrats off the hook--except the ones who know better.) Maybe nobody was a
traitor for voting for Clinton. Maybe Senators who voted not to convict him were."

There is one point you missed regarding the Sedition Act:

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That if any persons shall unlawfully combine or conspire together, with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the government of the United States, which are or shall be directed by proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding a place or office in or under the government of the United States, from undertaking, performing or executing his trust or duty, and if any person or persons, with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advise or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly, or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice, or attempt shall have the proposed effect or not, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and on conviction, before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment during a term not less than six months nor exceeding five years; and further, at the discretion of the court may be ho]den to find sureties for his good behaviour in such sum, and for such time, as the said court may direct.

SEC. 2. And be it farther enacted, That if any person shall write, print, utter or publish, or shall cause or procure to be written, printed, uttered or published, or shall knowingly and willingly assist or aid in writing, printing, uttering or publishing any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either house of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame the said government, or either house of the said Congress, or the said President, or to bring them, or either of them, into contempt or disrepute; or to excite against them, or either or any of them, the hatred of the good people of the United States, or to stir up sedition within the United States, or to excite any unlawful combinations therein, for opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States, done in pursuance of any such law, or of the powers in him vested by the constitution of the United States, or to resist, oppose, or defeat any such law or act, or to aid, encourage or abet any hostile designs of any foreign nation against United States, their people or government, then such person, being thereof convicted before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, and by imprisonment not exceeding two years.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted and declared, That if any person shall be prosecuted under this act, for the writing or publishing any libel aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the defendant, upon the trial of the cause, to give in evidence in his defence, the truth of the matter contained in Republication charged as a libel. And the jury who shall try the cause, shall have a right to determine the law and the fact, under the direction of the court, as in other cases.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That this act shall continue and be in force until the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and one, and no longer: Provided, that the expiration of the act shall not prevent or defeat a prosecution and punishment of any offence against the law, during the time it shall be in force.

APPROVED, July 14, 1798.

. I'm not even proud of telling my cousins in Pakistan that I'm American."....

If that is the case, then shame on you for being such a pathetic shameful hypocrite. If I were not proud of the country I " choose to live in then what does that say about my character ? Obviously I have none.

Then get out of here !!

[DreamWeaver]

Thanks for the flag. A pathetic group of people they are.

[ChemistCat]

Call back Clinton.

Just long enough for: "It depends on what the meaning of the words 'one thousand eight hundred and one,' are."

I've never in my life had anyone quote me on anything days and days after I said it. GC, You Made Me A Happy Gal Tonight, and my husband is not even jealous. :-)

DW: The kid they're quoting in the article is 8 years old unless I misread it; he believes what he's been told. However, Still. Ship the family to Pakistan. I don't want that seed being planted here any longer. I'm sorry, but this land was made for people who want to call themselves Americans. I think it's time to separate the chaff from the wheat. We could let them go along with Barbra if she's done washing her undies and hanging them out to dry....

CC, things always work out!

Indeed! Thanks for the heads up!!!
