But in the past the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (the federal agency chiefly responsible for stopping foreign supporters of extremist groups from entering the United States) has been asleep at the switch when it comes to HT. In 2007, Hizb ut-Tahrir had a booth right next to the Department of Homeland Security at a conference sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America – a Muslim Brotherhood-linked organization that was an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal government's successful prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.

Section 1182 of the United States Code allows consular officers or the attorney general to bar from the United States "any alien who endorses or espouses terrorist activity or support of a terrorist organization." That section also provides that "Any alien whose entry or proposed activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is inadmissible."

I realize
CITIZENS are protected with the 1st Amendment....are any of the people that lead, speak, and participate in this conference (and past ones) American Citizens? If they are NOT citizens, they are NOT protected! If they are advocating the overthrow of our goverment and terrorism, THROW THEM OUT! When are we going to finally say "enough is enough". I am tired of hearing, "we should try to understand their culture and religion". Well, what about OUR culture and OUR religion? When did our worth as American citizens, our culture and our beliefs get thrown under the bus??!! Why is this sort of thing allowed? Why is DHS a sleep at the wheel?
Sorry...rant over!!
