Hat tip Creeping Sharia and Investigative Project on Terrorism
If you have never heard about Ashrafuzzaman Khan, now is a good time to familiarize yourself with this name. He has been convicted and sentenced to death in absentia for war crimes in Bangladesh. Unfortunately, he is now an American citizen residing in the US. He is also a prominent member of the Islamic Circle of North America, which purports to be a respectable, moderate organization, but is anything but.

Hopefully, our government (under Obama?) can take steps to revoke this man's citizenship based on false statements in his application for naturalization. Then he can be deported. Hopefully the UK can also find a way to get rid of their own convicted war criminal.
Not a bad idea. These guys are no better than the concentration camp guards who have, from time to time, been stripped of acquired citizenship and deported.
ReplyDeleteBut a sticking point will be that the U.S. government backed the war criminals at the time they were committing their crimes. Kissinger and Nixon were prominent in "tilting toward the Paks" because India, the power that finally put an end to the genocide, was aligned loosely with the Soviet Union.
If you go looking for clean moral boundaries and angels to pin medals on, there just doesn't seem to be any such thing.
