Go away, the fact you see yourself as the victim is the problem. It's all about how you as a victim. Your religion idolises a child rapist. Encourages murder of non believers, rape and pillaging, and as a result of your religious beliefs are surprised by people's vulgar reaction?

I'm sorry you feel that way. > Encourages murder of non believers, rape and pillaging If this were all actually true, don't you think that things would be quite... different, given that 1/7 of the world's population is Muslim? I for one have never murdered, raped, or pillaged :P

Given the hostility to non-muslims in the muslim world, are you trying to refute a point or bury your head in the sand?

He voluntarily associates and culturally identifies with a group of people who are culturally incompatible with the country (Sharia, triple talaq,festivals which involve cutting goats on the road,etc) and are a threat to national security (a lot of terrorist attacks are after all funded by Muslim countries). Would a KKK member who openly identified as one, even on the job, be allowed to keep it?

A cursory google on the subject highlights that this is in fact the case and something governments around the world do not want to admit.

The reason is very clear and simple: because he is a Muslim and terrorist attacks by Muslims are very common nowadays. The real question is how far are we willing to go to prevent terror attacks. Are we willing to let innocent people get harassed on a regular basis?

You don't seem to be surprised by the content of the article. May I ask what your stance is on the issue of further marginalizing Muslims living in America? I am a Tunisian-American Muslim by the way.

You appear to be a troll, looking through your twitter feed you have implicitly supported calls for isis members to be released.

How many hundreds of thousands of Muslims were killed by non-Muslim bombs? It is like comparing on ocean to a drop of water.

Muslim countries considered as allies by the same government prosecuting this guy? IIRC the USA makes billions of dollars selling weapons to those exact countries.

So, give them weapons with one hand, and prosecute citizens for some vague connection with the other hand!

No, I live in India and have seen the stuff they can do when they become a majority (and dont forget they did try imposing SHaria in UK a while ago) https://www.theguardian.com/law/2017/mar/01/inside-britains-... .

How about if you talk to Hindu people for example and see how they answer similar questions? Would repeated attacks from Hindu people warrant prosecuting people from Indian origin?

No, a backwards religion needs to be stopped. Just like the other backwards religions that are becoming less relevant. Islam is the last bastion, and it encourages other idiots from other religions to use their imaginary friend as a tool for justifying abhorrent behavior.

Before you complain about secular dictators, they're needed to be brutal dictators because of the primitive attitudes held by the people.

People are against the US/UK from selling weapons, do not feign ignorance that they do not. Selling weapons to terrorist groups is a problem, funding terrorism is a problem. You can not justify one because of the other.

" there are in FACT radical christians who kill innocents in the Us?" Where? That doesn't sound credible, but let me give you the benefit of the doubt. Don't get 1 nut job...show me what you mean?

Read the United States Government Accountability Office: http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/683984.pdf "Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent)."

So according to US Govt. Accountability Office, the 1% Muslim demography committed 27% of the terror attacks. That alone should speak volumes.

India is not a Hindu country though.. AFAIK there are no countries run using Hindu mythology
