I think rude doesn't quite fully define the nature an charateristic of such groups an individuals who are trying to hide behind freedom of speech to spread hatred an violence let alone their anti American an anti Isreal rhetoric. By their own actions an rhetoric they support terrorism apparently they take issue an bare dislike for country or agency which truly is trying to fight a war on terror. I cannot fathom as to why such groups or individuals were allowed to enter into our country in the first place. it is my opinion that they should be arrested an deported back to their country of origin. Freedom of speech is one thing but when a group or individual supports an encourages terrorism then it ceases to be freedom of speech an becomes more of a criminal matter.
I recently came across an gentleman who was Russian turned out he was half Russian and half Middle Eastern. seemed like a nice guy at first then he started saying some anti Semetic stuff then went to say we deserved 9/11 that the CIA an Mossad were behind it he even went so far as to say that we would not win the war on terror then made a comment that I should not hate Iran or Syria then tried to come up with some BS saying he himself was Israeli and showed a passport circa 1983 which I don't buy into I suggest he is half Palestinian or Iraqi judging by his last name an rhetoric he seemed quite angry about the way he felt Saddam was being mistreated, he spoke about the fact our CIA agents have been targeted the creep seemed to be almost happy about that the end result ... The point of my post is like I said why are foreign nationals who do not like our country being allowed to enter our country to spread anti American rhetoric,threaten and harrass American citizens an who could possibly pose a threat?
Sincerely,
Jenn
