Madeleine Albright and Big Bang actress 'ready to join Muslim registry'
2017-01-27
[BBC] A former US Secretary of State and a Big Bang Theory actress have both vowed to register as Muslim if Donald Trump creates a database of Muslim Americans.
Ah, yes. Making a splashy show of doing something that presents no danger to herself and costs no money. Good idea. Sign me up too.
Politician Madeleine Albright and Mayim Bialik said they "stand ready" to register, in defiance of the new President.

"I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish," Ms Albright - the first woman to be named Secretary of State - tweeted on Wednesday. "I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity." The tweet gained tens of thousands of likes.
But she's not a Moslem so she's not allowed to.
Her comments come as rumours continue to circulate about an executive order which would announce extreme vetting, a refugee ban and a ban on arrivals from seven countries, said to include Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

But there has been no mention of a register of American Muslims in recent months - something Mr Trump said he would "certainly implement" in an interview in 2015, but later distanced himself from.

Sort of a no-risk strategy for news-whoring:

1. A hijab would only make her look better
2. No Imam would ever attempt to give her a clitorectomy.

Am sure the citizens of R-Burg have more.

Wouldn't sending Half-bright to Syria be considered an act of war, #1 CF?

#14  Does such a thing even exist? If we don't keep religious registries, how does one even go about registering?

#10  Since Trump never said he wanted to create a database of Muslim citizens these two are virtue signalling idiots.

#6  This is more in same vein as the celebs that were going to leave the country if Trump was elected:
'We're still waiting for you to begin to suppress yourself.'

#5  ...I suppose that it would be impolite of me to point out that if such a thing were done,:

1: Said database would be put together from existing data and data from incoming people (which we already collect as a matter of course - Ms Albright's family provided it when they came here). So a Tweet going out to direct all Muslims to register - and these morons deciding to register as Muslims to Signal Virtue(TM) - ain't gonna happen.

2: Providing false information on a Government form is a crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a). Damned few people get hit with it, but President Trump is the one guy who might push it. There is no exemption under said act for 'free speech', 'resistance', or any other cockamamie excuse these people might come up with. A few loudmouths signalling virtue at a Federal penitentary for a few years might change their minds.
