Reciprocity. "The Department of Homeland Security, in fact, considers visiting imams as nonthreatening as Buddhist monks."
"20 Muslim nations ban U.S. religious workers: Yet State Department allows entry to 100s of Muslim clerics each year," from WorldNetDaily, August 15, 2008 (thanks to Max):
A new congressional study has found that more than 20 Muslim nations deny entry to American and other foreign religious workers, WND has learned, even as the U.S. State Department grants entry to hundreds of clerics from their countries each year.The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and most other Middle Eastern countries still refuse to offer religious visas, they and deny entry to U.S. clergy as official policy, according to a report by the Law Library of Congress, the foreign legal research arm of the U.S. Congress. In a shocker, U.S. allies Afghanistan and Iraq also made the list of religious refuseniks.
"Of this group, the vast majority constitute Arab or Muslim states," said Wendy Zeldin, senior legal research analyst for the Library of Congress.
"Since Islam prohibits proselytism by other religions, foreign religious workers will in effect be denied entry to conduct religious work," Zeldin wrote in the three-page report, a copy of which was obtained by WND.
At the same time, Washington routinely issues R-1 religious visas to clerics from the Middle East, including jihadi hotbeds Saudi Arabia and Egypt, even though an alarming number of foreign imams have been suspects in terrorism investigations since 9/11.
The Department of Homeland Security, in fact, considers visiting imams as nonthreatening as Buddhist monks. Screening procedures call for both visitors to be treated as the same level of security risk at the border....

What gets me is that this is considered "news." MSM unfortunately will never wake up. Peter

"The Department of Homeland Security, in fact, considers visiting imams as nonthreatening as Buddhist monks."
Is the Department of Homeland Security aware of the fact that every single imam has beheaded thousands of animals in his lifetime if not najis kaffir ?

For which they have my undying gratitude. Anything Western is wasted on Muslims, in Muslim countries.
Thank you, all 20 nations, for preventing the murders of my countrymen. Now, please stop accepting aid workers from the West, as relief organizations are too compassionate to stop sending them to you.

First, this is only a shocker to the mindless degenerates that we've allowed to take control of our borders--bush, kennedy, obama, mccain, etc.
Second, is it enough of a shock for them to fix it? Answer: No, not for these traitors.
Third, this is just more evidence that a "peaceful" Iraq means we're just creating another money drenched financer of Eurabia and Amerabia like the Saudi perverts.

US lets in 100s of Islamic clerics annuallyChristian missionaries to mohammedanstan shouldn't be the issue and mohammedan clerics here shouldn't either: We shouldn't let any mohammedans in this country. This is our deferring to the petrol dollars and fear that the Saudis would cut off our oil, or at least not enrich too damn many American oil interests who are little better than traitors.
These petrol dollars are fueling and funding Russia's expansion and aggression and at the moment we seem helpless.My whole country seems terrified to do anything about the issue. Irritate and the damn Saudis and let them threaten to cut off the oil. It is a commodity, they have to sell it somewhere. They sell to someone else and that frees up someone else's oil; hopefully ours some day soon.
More oil, coal and other, less mohammedan clerics and laity. Less as in none.
We and everybody else have problems with mohammedans all over the world but the biggest threats to person and sovereignty always comes from the Saudis. We pours hundreds of billions of dollars into the Saudis for the privilege of committing suicide. We need a through house cleaning: mohammedans and petrol dollar whores.
Drill here
Drill now
Let the arabs herd goats.
Or you could as what would Obama do.

We pour, sorry.

Not that anyone in the government has the gumption to do this, but not only should we refuse entry into the U.S. for imams, but we should put a screeching halt to ALL immigration by moslems. Period. We have enough of them already, and they seem to multiply much too fast anyway.

Well, we are certified idiots for letting the Muslim Immams come and teach the Muslims how to kill us Americans a.k.a. Infidels. Even worse, we pay them money, put them in governement subsidized rental, give them generous food stamps and offer them 100% health care coverage not afforded to Amricans. Can we do more for the Muslim Immams?

I swear, it's crap like this that convinces me that the US government is intentionaly trying to destroy the USA in order to make an excuse to establish a police state.

In reply to MadAggie. The reason muslims breed like rabbits is that I read in a Saudi newspapaer way back in 1994 that the grand mufti in riyadh (I refuse to use capital letters when writing about these sobs) decreed that all muslims should have at least 7 children in order to build up their armed forces. All part of the plot for the world caliphate that they are aiming for - they seem to forget that we are not going to let it happen. Wake up you stupid politicians.

Crap like this is showing who Homeland Insecurity is really trying to protect. As a few have said, there are times, and they are coming more frequently, that I also believe that the government is intentionally trying to bring down the USA.
