State Department Blows $500,000 to Import Muslims

Just to add some personal observations: my war refugee Bosnian Muslim friends are having a very difficult time getting their family members to come visit since 9/11 -- it was much easier before then. Very hard to get visas since. Not even parents in their seventies/eighties.

Sorry that your Bosnian friends are suffering because of the hatefulness of Wahabbist Islamics, but America simply does not have the time -- nor the inclination, right now -- to seperate the 'good' muslims from the other 80%.

Aren't those really Albanians?

[bvw]

No. Good hard working, honest, educated people.

Take it up with the Saudis who financed all those charities. Sorry, but its hard to feel any sympathy even for those not directly threatening the US.

[swarthyguy]

Why stretch it out? Let's all convert. NOW! Sheesh!

No calls for any heads? Maybe we don't deserve to prevail.

Personally speaking, I'd be happy to, in an appropriate fashion -- like taking over their oil fields and running them as a US territory -- a political and social free haven even.

In the public interest, it might behoove some watchdog organization to keep track of the folks who are brought to the U.S. under this program, and in future cases of violence, note if any of those involved came over via the program. That organization might also wish to list the names of the folks in the State Department promoting this policy.

To put a twist on Wayne LaPierre's words: " It's almost as if the State Department wants to further terrorism in the U.S. for its own political gains. "

WTF???

My thoughts exactly.

[mikeIII]

The more they learn about us, the more they see the differences, and the more inclined they'd be to destroy it. So, let's just let them be.

Does anyone else besides me think this is treason( I mean objectively without a declaration of war it can't be treason under the constitution)?

"There is a real danger that this will fall in the wrong hands, and the State Department will give this program to the same sort of people that the government has turned to over and over again - people in the Muslim leadership who are more on bin Laden's side than ours," Pipes said.

It's more than a danger -- it's a certainty. The State Department is already coordinating its efforts on a multi-million dollar "PR campaign" to improve America's image in Muslim countries -- with the terrorism-supporting CAIR. They will probably wind up re-importing the Imam from the D.C. Mosque who condemned America after 9/11, and then fled to Saudi Arabia.

I think we should change the "war on terror" to the "war on America -- by America."

"...The scheme will also send American clerics to Muslim areas abroad...:"

********************

If so, it won't be Christian clerics, it will be American Moslem clerics.
No Moslem country would give official blessing to a visit by Christian clerics.

********************

Rregardless of any Declaration of War, the militant Moslems are self-proclaimed enemies of the United States. To offer aid in helping Americans "understand" why we deserve to be hated could qualify as treason. To risk allowing not just terrorists, but terrorist leaders (clerics), into the country makes no sense.

I doubt it would stand up in court, but:

Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1:
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.

bad Mel Brooks movie

In mid-2000 a friend of mine compared this possible scenario to the Peter Seller's movie Being There.

I hadn't thought of the comparison in quite a while, but your reference to feeling trapped in a movie jarred loose my memory of his comparison. I think his comparison stands as apt.

If you haven't read them yet, you might enjoy freeper RLK's political commentaries available at this link. One of the prevailing themes in his work deals with how our world today resembles what would have been a dsytopian nightmare to any sane U.S. citizen of 40 years ago.

What must the American government be thinking. Sending American clerics to the muslim world. They hate Ameicans, its just not safe to go over there. Sending muslims here is one thing Americans wont be out to kill them. But over there and their Anti Americans view. Its just not safe if I were a clerics I would refuse to go. Those people are crazy, real mental cases.

It already has.

The State Department.
