US imam calls on Muslims in US to wage jihad...Cairo-born Elsayed is a citizen of the United States. The mosque’s name, al-Hijrah, refers to the Islamic strategy of using migrants to gradually expand Islam into new territories. [More]He's actually "a dual citizen of Egypt and the US," and that leads to a bit of a conflict, especially since in order to make that happen, he raised his hand and repeated this:
"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."It hardly appears like he's holding up his part of the bargain.
It's fair to ask whose interests it serves to not just welcome such enemies into the fold, but to encourage more. It's also fair to ask why no one seems interested in invoking the denaturalization provisions of INA § 340(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1451 (a) "if the person procured naturalization 'by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.'"
Ah well, I'm sure the political leaders and their shadow backers have only the best interests of "our democracy" in mind as they re-engineer the Republic, to include disarming you and me for our own good.
