It's not politicaly correct.
If you get angry because someone murders your brethren, you need counciling.

Is it allowed to obtain United States Citizenship so that travelling for deen becomes easier? They require you to promise to bear arms for the country. The oath of allegiance is as follows: The Oath of Allegiance I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I 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; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. If they require or ask you to bear arms against a muslim country, what should be the response. Their laws are against 4 marraige law of Islaam. Does the pledge cause any "Ilhaad" or any such anti-islamic view? Please answer according to Hanafi Fiqh.
Answer 5193
1. If your intention is solely to facilitate easier travel, you are permitted to obtain US citizenship. Although the oath of allegiance is un-Islamic in nature, it will not be treated as an 'Islamic oath'. Therefore, you are not compelled to execute the oath.
2. If you are called up to bear arms against Muslims, you are not permitted to do so by Islamic law.
3. The pledge does not constitute Ilhaad. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

I think a lot of people have been looking for a way to say this. Kudos to John Leo for finding all the words.

Thanks much for that post about Muslim deception. These
#$@*^% are decievers from the get go. They feel they owe the truth to no one except Muslims and even then they decieve (and kill) their Muslim "brothers" too.

I'm getting angrier and angrier every day. What's wrong with me? Nothing, but you knew that already.
They had some psychologist on the news last night, talking about the emotions you might have on the anniversary of 9/11, and how to cope with them. I commented to my wife, "I have two feelings, anger and desire - desire for retribution."
I'm ready to see some serious retribution, soon. I'm not alone in this.

Many Americans have a seething rage that is supressed, but it still exists.
Unresolved anger is dangerous. It can build and will "act out" in unexpected ways.
That is one problem with the way our leadership has "encouraged" us to "deal" with the murderous atrocities--go on about your business. No, that was a mistake. We needed to see the bodies of those who jumped from the heights of the Twin Towers, followed by seeing the battles and exploding bombs, and dead bodies of Taliban/al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. We needed to see -- but we haven't seem much. So the seething rage remains, smolders under the surface. Another major attack on US soil might break the dam of rage. It is difficult to say. But the rage exists, though suppressed; and it will eventually surface.

"Many Americans have a seething rage that is supressed, but it still exists"
I've thought the same for some time now. As much as I hate to say iy, it's going to take another attack before most will let it out. At that time I wouldn't want to be a Muslim in this country...not that I'd want to be one in any country

laissez-faire morality - a presumption that even destructive acts deserve understanding rather than judgment. And knee-jerk defensiveness.
Judgement is the 50c word for 'survival instinct'.
It has been beaten out of us as a society by Political correctness and multiculturalism.
Me? I still believe in profiling and discrimination.
Everyone is not equal and being judgemental is an essential part of a (long and) healthy life.
