When Teddy Roosevelt Banned Muslims From America
Frontpagemag.com ^ | August 18, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

A hundred years ago, Muslims were furious over an immigration bill whose origins lay with advocacy by a headstrong and loudmouthed Republican in the White House. The anti-immigration bill offended the Ottoman Empire, the rotting Caliphate of Islam soon to be defeated at the hands of America and the West, by banning the entry of “all polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy.”

Back when America wasn't being taken apart from within by Marxists. This is all part of the destruction of Constitutional America by Marxists and Islamicists, both represented by the resident of the White Hut.

1. I bet that law is still on the books.

2. Banning misogynists would work as well.

...Marxists and Islamicists...

...and don’t forget the LGBTxyz community. My guess is that at the end of some coming day, Islamist’s will get shed of all no longer useful “ists”. Even the worst muze can tolerate but so much blasphemy.

Meanwhile the Mormons in Utah were busy with their own polygamy from the president/profit on down...

The last polygamist profit died in 1945...Heber Grant...

There is a loyalty oath for Naturalization. In it, the prospective citizen must declare, under oath, that he will "support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same."

Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.

We should ask anybody entering the country which law should be foremost, Sharia or the Constitution of the United States.

Didn’t Obama just make the loyalty oath optional?

Yes. Another great man that idiot Glen Beck disapproves of. This was his first symptom of insanity.

Thomas Jefferson wasn’t feeling much Kum Ba Yah with them either when he was taking on the Barbary Pirates.

What?!?

You gotta be kidding me!

I would say that the oath is required by a law passed by Congress, but we know that sort of thing doesn't matter anymore.

Why wouldn’t they just lie?

We need to block muslims from coming here. Of course, given our porous southern border, not confident that will happen.
