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.
Given that the first modern(ish) colonizers in the US were religious assholes who were kicked out of Europe, it kinda makes sense.
We even have a holiday celebrating the natives saving their Pilgrim asses from starvation. Natives whom they think by slaughtering and running them off their land. Really brings a tear to your eye. America is a lot more nuts than even Americans realize.
