A STRIP SHOW WORTH SEEING

I’m not one for strip shows.  But if this one takes place, I want to be ringside.

From Michael Tarm’s article for the Associated Press:

The Department of Justice has taken the rare step of seeking to strip a convicted terrorist of his U.S. citizenship as he serves the last several years of a 20-year prison sentence for plotting to destroy New York’s Brooklyn Bridge.

Some national security experts suggested Tuesday the move might signal a new, tougher line under President Donald Trump.

The case involves Iyman Faris, 47 and born in Pakistan, who was sentenced in 2003 for aiding and abetting the al-Qaida terrorist group with his plan to cut through cables that support the iconic bridge. At the time, it was among the highest profile terrorism cases in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

A 17-page filing Monday in U.S. District Court in southern Illinois where Faris is imprisoned launched a revocation process that is likely to take years. The court filing argues that Faris lied on immigration papers before becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1999 and that his terrorist affiliations demonstrated a lack of commitment to the U.S. Constitution.

If this truly does “signal a new, tougher line under President Donald Trump”, then congratulations are in order.

Maybe that be the case, and may this only be the opening act.  It is about damn time a President stepped up to the plate and put the wood to “people” who come here to terrorize us.

There is absolutely no room in this country for USA hating jihadists
