Treason in America - or is it?

This guy turns my stomach.  The fact that he is allowed to spew his venom on American Soil makes me angry.

…But could it be considered treason?

Yousef al-Khattab, who runs RevolutionMuslim.com from his home in Queens, told FOX News that he also wants the U.S. to embrace Islam and Sharia Law, which prohibits alcohol and can include stoning to death or severe flogging for pre-marital sex and adultery.

Calling for Sharia Law - in my opinion - sounds like a threat to attempt to overthrow the U.S. government.  That could be very dangerous, and should be considered treason or at the very least, sedition.

In our past, those who tried to incite violence against or overthrow our government were met with quick justice - a short drop and a sudden stop (execution by hanging).  Where have those days gone?  How can we call this freedom of speech?

The Fox News article also states some of the things he has on his web site:

  • The Statue of Liberty, with an ax blade cutting through her side;
  • Video mocking the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl, entitled “Daniel Pearl I am Happy Your Dead :) “;
  • Video of a puppet show lampooning U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq;
  • The latest speech from Sheikh Abdullah Faisal, an extremist Muslim cleric convicted in the UK and later deported for soliciting the murder of non-Muslims.

Even more surprising is that al-Khattab runs his site from his home in Queens, New York.

Another thing - if he has videos of this Sheikh that was convicted in Britain, I would consider that aiding and abetting the enemy - supporting terrorism.  He should be arrested and tried for that.  That is not patriotism; it is not love of his country.

Why don’t you go ahead and go to Iraq or Afghanistan, Mr. al-Khattab?  We do not want you here.  Go join your friends - then maybe you’ll be met with swift justice from our true patriots - our soldiers.

God bless the USA!

In Support of Israel

Last week, I read this article on Fox News’ website. It outraged me so much, that I did something I have never done before – I e-mailed the subject of the article, Mr. Norman Finkelstein. Here’s what I wrote:

From: mstate_dawg@hotmail.com
To: normangf[at]hotmail.com
Subject: Your views on Hezbollah and Israel
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:41:51 -0600

Mr. Finkelstein:

You are a traitor to your heritage, to the Jews, and to the United States. Your support of a terrorist organization should land you in jail.

You should be prosecuted for treason against the United States, and you belong with Hezbollah.

Sincerely,
A Patriotic American

Well, much to my surprise, he posted this e-mail on his website! I wasn’t the only one that e-mailed him because of the article, but I was one of the “nicer” ones. If the article outrages you like it does me, send him a NastyGram (but be nice!). He deserves to know that there are patriotic Americans out there that love our country and love Israel.

How can someone whose own parents suffered terror support a terrorist group? It just boggles my mind.
