Muslim cleric Salah Sultan appeared on Egypt’s Al-Nas TV last week and called for death and destruction to come to the US because of continuing support of Israel:

America, which gave [Israel] everything it needed in these battles, will suffer economic stagnation, ruin, destruction, and crime, which will surpass what is happening in Gaza. One of these days, the U.S. will suffer more deaths than all those killed in this third Gaza holocaust. This will happen soon.

What is shocking about Sultan’s statement is that he is a permanent resident of the US, holds an American passport, and is seeking to become a citizen of the United States.

Salah Sultan is a major Muslim leader in America serving as a member of the Fiqh Council of North America. Also, he started the Islamic American University in Southfield, Michigan and served as president; he was the national director of tarbiyah (Islamic instruction) for the Muslim American Society; and he heads the American Council for Islamic Research.

Response: In our great county, Sultan is free to voice his opinion even if it is anti-American. Sultan is also free to run with and support terrorists. However, the United States should also be free to deny him citizenship.

Should someone like Sultan continue to have free residency status in order to travel from mosque to mosque in this country inciting Muslims against their own country? I don’t think so!

There is freedom of religion in this country and Muslims are free to look forward to and hope that one day America will become a Muslim nation with sharia law. However, that would mean the destruction of America as we know it and actions toward such a cause may cross the line between freedom of religion and sedition.            *Top
