You Can' Talk to an F.B.I. Agent That Way, or Can You?

Dressed in a navy suit and red tie, his hair parted neatly on the side, Special Agent Charles E. Frahm sat with practiced calm as Muslims rose, one after another, to hurl raw complaints at him. Mr. Frahm, who heads the counterterrorism division of the F.B.I. in New York, was at a banquet hall in the Midwood section of Brooklyn on Thursday night to listen, he had told the hundreds of residents gathered there.
And they responded. They were tired of being held for hours at airports when their names resembled those of suspected terrorists, they said. They were tired of seeing Muslims arrested on immigration charges. They were tired of having their mosques watched, their businesses scrutinized.

"America is our land!" Faruq Wadud, a Bangledeshi man, hollered hoarsely into the microphone as the room broke into a thunderous applause. "We are not foreigners! Our children, this is their motherland!"

I came upon this article when reviewing Robert Spencer's JihadWatch and was motivated by this timely quote.

Two different issues here. America may well be his land, and his childrens', but unfortunately that has not sufficed as an assurance that Muslims would not engage in jihadist activity...Robert Spencer, JihadWatch

Immigration to America, especially immigration of Muslims, has become troublesome and worrisome and weighs heavily. As do most Americans that have an immigrant background, I have mixed emotions immigration. I am proud of our diverse and multicultural society, but we have lost control of the borders and of the immigrants and entrants that now inhabit the United States. These groups are not operating in the best interest of the United States. They are using United States soil to further the interests of the country or groups that should have been left behind and, in some cases, are openly undermining the U.S. government and not working in the interest of the people of the United States.

Unfortunately there are many groups fostering such activities. Islamist jihadists are only one that are using their influence against us, and no matter how they protest to the contrary, their actions are perhaps treasonous.

' "America is our land!" Faruq Wadud, a Bangledeshi man, hollered hoarsely." I find his statement at least to be disingenuous and reflective of the true motives of Muslims world wide, motives that are the antithesis of being an American. Americans have always expected immigrants to sluff off baggage from previously loyalties, and If nothing else Mr. Faraq and all other immigrants that are aspiring to become or have already gone through the process should realize that the process requires the "giving up of allegiance to all powers and principalities," and failing to do so is a violation of the oath of citizenship. To continue to jihad is to continue a supposed past allegiance to another country above that of the United States and, in mind, is an act of treason. If this was the immigrant's intention at the swearing in, his oath is also perjury.

Historical evidence from many centuries and from many lands has demonstrated that for ideological reasons, Muslims immigrants can not give allegiance to their adopted lands. Muslim converts are put in an untenable position: they must now put their country's interests second to that of the international brotherhood of Muslims, the Ummah. These are now immigrants and citizens that are manipulation and using the laws of the United States against the U.S. citizens and government for their own ends and for the benefit of other powers and principalities.

By their presence they are creating a condition of fear for now the general population is becoming aware of what they're about. They are making life uncomfortable for ordinary Americans by forcing upon them simple and sometimes uncomfortable changes in their lives that would not have been necessary were it not for their presence.

Now Americans must worry about the handling of the Koran and book that few will every possess and probably now will never want to see. Americans have heard about the Muslim revulsion for pork products and that in certain stores in this country and in other Western countries, pork products are not to viewed or even sold. They must deal with changes in advertising and television viewing habits as now billboards, magazines, and television programs are to screened so as to not to violate Muslim sensibilities.

Everyday one reads about or experiences new changes that are brought about simply by the presence of Muslims, a tiny, tiny minority in the United States, that are forcing compliance with Muslim law.

Certainly religious differences must be respect...BUT...and there's always a but, in America we have a separation of church and state for a reason. We experienced religious tyranny at the beginning of our history at the hands of puritanical Christians that forced their religious views on all that resided among them. That lesson still burns in our collective memory and we have no desire or intention to allow religious tyrants from foreign lands to force their views and habits upon us.

Immigrants have the responsibility to conform to their new country and should not expect accommodation and special privileges. Either assimilate or return to the country of origin or find a suitable country that reflects a similar mindset and life practices.
