Sweden has announced it plans to deport immigrants who have acquired Swedish citizenship but have failed to integrate into Western society. Do you agree with Sweden’s decision?

Screw the conveniently movable govt. designation of who is a 'terrorist'. And definitely screw any prohibition of verbal support or criticism of the USG or out 'allies'.

A few years ago people burning neighborhoods and car dealer were 'mostly peaceful protesters' now they're 'domestic terrorists'.

I do want to make one essential clarification:

Rumesya Ozturk has not been charged with a crime. She has not, to my knowledge, been charged with giving material support to Hamas (a crime under 18 USC §2339A). I would oppose such a charge. A mere utterance valorizing Hamas is offensive, but it does not fit the definition of "material support."
