The Ugly History of Dual-Loyalty Charges Ilhan Omar recently deployed an accusation that’s been used against religious minorities for years.
Interesting article, showing how treating Muslims as non-loyal to a country is the same bullshit already done against Catholics, Jews and other religions in USA.
Yeah, unfortunately where I come from, there’s some major shit the country has to deal with before the evangelicals can even start to organize in a meaningful manner. Catholics remain on top, and that’s another can of worms, but at least they don’t take the whole controlling in the name of God bullshit that seriously.
I’m a U.S. citizen now, and I moved away from both places (birthplace and America) a while ago, and I don’t miss that religion aspect one bit!
