Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Fitzgerald: The immigrant’s bad faith

May 26, 2008 6:44 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In February, Hussain and 24 other Muslims joined a statewide lawsuit against Citizenship and Immigration Services and the FBI for what they called unusually lengthy delays in processing their citizenship applications. Some waited as long as five years.

”The lawsuit helped my application. I have been waiting so long,” said Hussain, an Orlando machinist from Iraq. — from this article

Why is Hussain, a “machinist from Iraq,” here in the United States? If he were ever a “refugee” he is a refugee no longer. He has no special skills that are desperately needed in this country. Why isn’t he back home, working hard to build the new Iraq? If he is a Shi’a Arab, then Shi’a Arabs have, thanks to the American invasion, inherited Iraq, or at least Baghdad and all points south, including the major oilfields. If he is a Sunni (not everyone named “Hussain” need be a Shi’a) he has all of the area west and north of Baghdad, save where the Kurds now run things.

Why is he here? Is he here because he must be here to avoid persecution? From Muslim countries, the only justified immigration should be that of non-Muslims. They are the ones who have a legitimate case to be here to avoid persecution. Does Hussain, the machinist from Iraq, fully support the American Constitution? Does he even understand its contents? Or is such understanding no longer necessary in order to obtain American citizenship?
Hussain, machinist from Iraq, by his lawsuit demonstrates worrisome bad faith already at this initial stage. For if he thinks “three years and two months” is a long time to wait for the high privilege of becoming an American citizen, and if he dares to start a lawsuit about it, his attitude is entirely the wrong one. Does he really not know how long people wait for citizenship, in this and many other countries? I know people born in Italy, raised in Italy, but who never acquired Italian citizenship. And now, when they return, they have to wait years just for the damned “permesso di soggiorno.”

Can this “new American” not understand why it is — can anyone in his right mind not understand why it is — that certain background checks might have to be made? Can he not understand why this might have to be done on someone, for god’s sake, from Iraq? Is that really all that hard to figure out?

Or why, given all that has happened, and all that is likely to happen, and all that we Americans can see happening in all the countries of Western Europe, is it really all that hard to figure out why such background checks would be needed? In Western Europe, foolishly and with criminal negligence, ruling elites have permitted the large-scale immigration of Muslims. They pose the same problems no matter what Infidel country they end up in. And among all the vast and various groups of immigrants, they present — they uniquely present — certain problems that show no signs of going away. They will not go away because they emanate not from “poverty” nor from any other external cause, but rather, from the texts, tenets, attitudes, and atmospherics of Islam.

And those texts and tenets flatly contradict the spirit and letter of the American Constitution, and the American Republic. And this contradiction cannot be ignored. Indeed, it should not be ignored by those whose duty it is to make sure that we do not admit people who are incapable of true and permanent integration with our legal and political institutions, but whose inculcated duty it is to change those political and legal institutions, so that all obstacles to the spread, and dominance, of Islam, are removed. The fact that not all of them will assume or fulfill that duty is slim consolation, for minds can change, and do. Look at Maher Hawash. Look at the Lackawanna Six.

I’m amazed that people such as Hussain, machinist from Iraq, are granted citizenship. One hopes that those in the INS who are permitting such things will be investigated by members of Congress. This can’t go on. Not at a high level of immigration, and not at a low level.
