That's a new one. Word is that "Immigration Imam" Muhammad Masood might try to claim refugee status in order to stay in the country:
...If Imam Masood is eventually ordered to leave the country, Joyce said he could request political asylum because he has expressed pro-American views and disowned his brother, Hafiz Saeed, who’s the founder of a Pakistan extremist group that’s banned by the U.S. and the United Nations...
...Muhammed Masood said "I am not my brother" at an interfaith community meeting in January 2007, when one of the local clergy asked about Masood's relationship with Hafiz. But for that inquiry, Masood would probably never have mentioned his infamous brother. Gee, why didn't Masood "disown" his brother any earlier than January 2007? We heard no condemnation from Masood after the LeT's suicide bombing of the Indian Parliament in 2002 or after the Delhi market bombings in 2005? Political asylum, my foot!
And, of course, there are anchor children involved as well...
I heard that Imam Masoods brother is called
Imam Oron. ;)
