There are unconfirmed reports that Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has issued a fatwa forbidding Iraqi and Afghan refugees “from acquiring US citizenship on the grounds that this is the nationality of an occupier nation.”
Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed, the general manager at Al Arabiya TV, writes:
Perhaps Sheikh al-Qaradawi would be right to resort to the dangerous weapon of fatwas if there were a large number of citizens being granted naturalization, or if there were forced relocations to America, or if the Iraqi nationality was being revoked, but none of this is happening. In fact, the opposite is true, for of the thousands of Iraqi citizens who queue up to apply for visas to Western countries, only a few are granted.
Suspiciously, this fatwa report is being eagerly promoted by groups opposed to Muslim political power and Muslim immigration, such as MEMRI and “Refugee Resettlement Watch.”
According to MEMRI, “the ruling was inspired by similar rulings issued by Muslim clerics during France’s occupation of Tunisia.” Over at RRW, where a gleeful response might have been expected, the writer casts a pall over her nativist readership instead with a slip of wisdom, “I don’t get the impression that most Iraqi immigrants are ruled by faraway Imams.“
johnpi,

thabet, 
Muse, and 
the somailis in the upper midwest have been the center of several kerfuffles which involve a conflict between their interpretation of muslim orthopraxy and local majority norms. the refusal of grocery store clerks to touch pork-containing products which are sealed in plastic, and so resulting in people having to shift lines to clerks who would, as well as the case of cabbies refusing to pick up people who had had alcohol. refugees would assimilate better in countries where this isn’t such a chasm in norms (e.g., other sunni muslim countries, especially gulf arab countries where they are already accustomed to, and prefer, dark-skinned people who are also muslims to do low skill labor).
OTOH, i know somalis are being brought into iowa slaughterhouses with the flight of illegal mexicans. though even they are shocked at the working conditions, and as people with legal status aren’t as easy to cow as the illegals.
