His son's actions had nothing to do with religion? And you believe that? I don't think I said anything about believing it. The story is simply reporting what he said. Of course he's going to try to distance himself and Islam from those actions.His son has been investigated by the FBI twice and they had to let him go twice. He pledged allegiance to ISIS before his attack. ISIS encourages "lone wolf" jihadis to make a public announcement of their allegiance before taking action so ISIS can take credit. Pretty much pro forma. Doesn't mean this dude had any previous connections to ISIS or that ISIS directed the attack. Just because his father proclaimed himself a Revolutionary President doesn't mean he didn't run for Afghan president at one time. Oh, please, Mike. No, he didn't run for Afghan president. Trump got it wrong (surprise!). As I said, he came here in the early '80s. He appears to be something of a flake, but he's obviously preoccupied with what's happening in Afghanistan, and as I said, he's strongly opposed to the Islamic State. There's nothing in the VOA story to suggest he is against the U.S.--in fact, at one point he tried to get U.S. officials to work with him against ISIS in Afghanistan. From: "authfriend@...

A year after the presidential election in Afghanistan, he declared himself the "Revolutionary President" of the country. He's a nationalist and very much against the Islamic State.

Certainly the last thing the country needs are tens of thousands or more, new Muslim Immigrants that aren't vetted any better than they are now. As I've said, their religious beliefs don't require them to respect our laws or culture. Ten more generations from now could see the same results. From: "authfriend@...

And his parents likely came here back in the early '80s fleeing the war in Afghanistan, so tougher scrutiny now wouldn't have stopped them either. If you think his parents should have been stopped back then, you'll need to discuss it with Ronald Reagan, who welcomed the Afghan war refugees. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : BTW, not bring more people with his kind of motivation into the country is a start.
