Please, Sir, May I Have Some More?

Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

Before anyone lets rip with the racist, nativist, fascist, brownshirt, xenophic bullshit, let me just say this: I don't care about the color of Fawaz Damra's skin. I don't care about the country from which Fawaz Damra came. I don't care about the language that Fawaz Damra grew up speaking. I don't care what religion Fawaz Damra chooses.

I do, however, care about...


Imam Fawaz Damra, the spiritual leader of Ohio's largest mosque, was convicted in June 2004 of concealing ties to three groups that the U.S. government classifies as terrorist organizations when he applied for U.S. citizenship in 1994.

AND

Damra's conviction for naturalization fraud wasn't enough to warrant deportation because he has legally lived in the United States for five years. Immigration officials are seeking to remove him because he raised funds for terrorist organizations, Moskowitz said.

AND

In Damra's trial last year, prosecutors showed video footage of Damra and other Islamic leaders raising money for an arm of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has been listed as a major terrorist group by the State Department since 1989

Jurors also were shown footage in which Damra called Jews "the sons of monkeys and pigs" during a 1991 speech and said "terrorism and terrorism alone is the path to liberation" in a 1989 speech.

Sorry he got citizenship in the first place. Glad his fraudulence was discovered and his citizenship was revoked. Sorry we have to wait for some appellate ruling before they can begin deportation proceedings. Glad to hear the feds are gettin' one right. Keep up the good work, and get his terrorist ass outta here.
