#1 Hurts when infidels are not as stupid as you'd like them to be?

#3 Of what value is such an oath of allegiance from a Muslim to a Jew? Isn't there some Koranic principle that tells Muslims to lie under those circumstances?

#4 Glenmore: There might actually be some there, there.

"The oath requires new citizens to pledge allegiance to a "Jewish and democratic" state."

While a Muslim could lie and say, "sure", that matters less than the idea that a Muslim could *ever* agree to the idea recognizing that Israel exists in the first place, at all, even if they were lying.

That is, he can lie as an individual, but if he takes an oath to Israel, he is acknowledging, as a Muslim, that Israel both exists and he is recognizing this fact. That it is not just an occupation of Muslim lands by "somebody or other with no claim."

And even if he is lying, which he would be, it wouldn't matter. He would be doing something intolerable to Muslims.

Very crafty.

#5 From the sentencing of the Times Square bomber:
The Judge asked, "Didn't you swear allegiance to this country when you became an American citizen?" His response was, "I did swear, but I did not mean it." He concluded his remarks with "Blessed be" Osama bin Laden. (via Ed Koch column)
