#1 Lets do the math:

30,000 Egyptian men - no citizenship

30,000 Israeli women - no citizenship

3.1 children per average Egyptian household 90,000 potential children - no citizenship

150,000 persons with no citizenship (stateless)

78.7 million Egyptian population (2010)

Seems like a small number but, when the Egyptians get around to the next group say Egyptian Christians or Egyptians married to other "haram" groups, then what ?

#2 What happens when an American marries a Mexican wife?

Hopefully, they settle down, have some kids, and have a nice life.

#3 There must be 10 or 12 American males married to Mexican ladies in my small town of 500 people and they seem to be as well adjusted as the rest of us.

#4 seriously, sometimes those hard-line Arab countries do things that I would love to see in the U.S.. Can you imagine all of the disloyal generations of Americans we could've avoided if we had started revoking citizenship away from people who were married to foreigners? Of course I never would've been born but... just think of the possibilites.(sarcasm)

#5 30,000 Israeli women - no citizenship

Goodluck Smock1954, nothing in the article indicates the Israeli women lost or gave up their citizenship, and I'm not aware that their children would not automatically get Israeli citizenship, regardless whether they were reared as Jews or Muslims... or even as worshippers of Moog the Great Destroyer, which religion as far as I know I just invented. Am I mistaken? (It has been known to happen, much more often than I like...)
