Fine, but none in the USA, please

Well, let the UNHCR sweat over the Mojaheddin-e-Khalg. Just be sure that not a single one of ... them is resettled in the US of A.

I understand that the Mojaheddin-e-Khalg pride themselves on being the first "revolutionary fighters" to attack the "nest of spies" back in 1979. They were warm, close allies with the Khomeini-ites back then, and if there was a falling out, well ain't it too d@#n bad., and if they and the Khomeini-ites kill each other, its just two tribes of cannibals having a go at each other. The MeK early on made it clear that their fundamental position towards the USA was unrelenting hostility, and therefore the USA is under no humanitarian responsibility to grant them asylum. Indeed, we'd be better advised to round up all MeK already in the USA and, if non-citizens, begin deportation proceedings.

The MeK spouts a poisonous ideology that mixes Marxism and Islam, two of the most vicious ideologies ever to scourge our sorry planet. The USA doesn't owe them a wooden nickel.
