Michael Knowles is correct below when he says that Muslims in America advocating for Iran and against the United States ought to be deported:
However, he is missing something important.
Treason is defined in Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution as adhering to our enemies, giving them aid and comfort. That is precisely what these people in the video were doing.
Treason in the United States can be prosecuted via military tribunal. That would be much quicker than using other processes. We ought to be able to remove these people quickly.
1, Most people there didn’t cheer those words.
2. The US ruling class who are doing this war are in the wrong. Iranians and anyone disturbed by injustice are naturally angry. Including anger–horribly expressed by this speaker–at the paid order-followers (US soldiers) who kill whoever our lying politicians tell them to kill.
I think, J. Sobran, when you at least theoretically become a citizen of a new country after becoming a beneficiary of immigration, your allegiances must change. Their sense of justice might be offended– and you know I am not excited about this war– but it is horrible to choose any foreign nation over your own country.
I know that, during WWII, there were many fellow Americans of Italian descent– even Americans from Italy– who fought in the war against their own brothers and cousins. It was a choice that had to be made. And as you know, our entry into the war forced by FDR’s treatment of Japan was probably unjust. It was not our war– but FDR made it our war.
Algernon Sydney was admired by Thomas Jefferson for saying “Where there is liberty, there is my country.”
Is it Christian to say “my country, right or wrong”, regardless of the evil the corrupt oligarchy that rules our country does?
I think the Christian position is to submit to governmental authorities unless they are interfering with the rights of citizens– especially religious liberty. The task of new immigrants is to demonstrate loyalty to their new country above whatever they left, and regardless of whatever their personal feelings may be. That doesn’t prohibit them from thinking that a certain approach is wrong. But they are not to make a show of their disloyalty.
Military Tribunals, now that is a novel way to go about getting rid of these America hating Islamic anarchists. However before we adopt such a strategy it would be wise to be prepared for the backlash. Jus’ saying. The bottom line is that these people need to be gone ASAP.
I agree, Fred. They need to be gone.
