Marzieh Hashemi converted to Islam and embraced this hatred. It should have been clear to her that she wasn’t embracing life and freedom, but death and slavery. But even if it isn’t clear to her, it should be clear to everyone else. She embraced the murderous Islamic regime in Iran that is now waging ruthless war against its own people, trying desperately to keep hold of power.
“U.S./Iranian TV Anchor Marzieh Hashemi: I Chant ‘Death to America’ Because Oppressive American System Needs to Change; I Will Not Burn My U.S. Passport Because My Ancestors Owned and Built America,” MEMRI, February 26, 2019 (thanks to Wendy):

Press TV (Iran) anchor Marzieh Hashemi, born Melanie Franklin in New Orleans, was interviewed on Channel 5 (Iran) on February 26, 2019. She said that society has reached the point of sex with children and robots because people have no limits. Hashemi said that she chants “Death to America,” because the oppressive American system must change. She explained that she had come to that conclusion even before converting to Islam. Hashemi said that she has both black and Native American roots and that she would not burn her American passport because she has the right to that land since “it was our land as reds” and “we built that country as blacks.” Iran-based Hashemi recently made headlines when she was arrested by the FBI as a material witness to an undisclosed federal investigation, while visiting the U.S. For mentions of her arrest in Iranian media, see MEMRI TV Clips No. 6951 and No. 6952.
Following are excerpts:
Marzieh Hashemi: If you look at the world today, you see where it gets us if we don’t set limits or abide by them. We have now reached the point of… Please excuse me… First, there are relations between a boy and a girl, then it’s several boys and several girls, then homosexuality, and then, unfortunately, [sex] with children. We have now gotten to the point of relations with robots. Why? Because people have no limits.
[…]
Interviewer: Mrs. Hashemi, do you participate in the February 11 marches every year?
Marzieh Hashemi: Yes.
Interviewer: One of the slogans we chant in those rallies is “Death to America.” Do you also say “Death to America”?
Marzieh Hashemi: Yes, I do.
Interviewer: Isn’t it difficult for you?
Marzieh Hashemi: I’ll tell you why. Yesterday…
Interviewer: I’d like to explain this to our viewers. It is like if I were to go to any other country, for whatever reason, and say: “Death to Iran!” It’s difficult for me.
Marzieh Hashemi: Right.
Interviewer: What got you to the point where you say this without any difficulty?
Marzieh Hashemi: I’d like to explain that even before converting to Islam, I had reached this conclusion. It’s not [real] death to America. The system must change. This system causes oppression. My roots are black and red [i.e. Native American]. I have lots of experience. Yesterday, I went to the University of Tehran. More than 20 activists from America came there, and we talked about it. One woman told me I’d better not chant that slogan anymore, since the American public is sensitive. I said it there and I say it here: I understand this. People usually love their country. But when people here chant this slogan, it’s different. People in Iran are dying because of the American policies. In 40 years, many have died because of America’s actions. By this slogan, they want to show that they are discontent with America’s oppression. I told them that there are people with cancer who cannot get their medicine. People are angry because there is a mother who, God forbid, might lose her child, so she says “death” to the measures that have caused her to lose hr [sic] child.
[…]
Interviewer: So why don’t you make a decision and burn your American passport? That’s an honest question and I’d like an honest answer.
Marzieh Hashemi: Yes. As I’ve said I have the right [the keep my passport]. We blacks and reds have built that country. It was our land as reds, and we built that country as blacks. We have a right to [that country]. No. I won’t do it. Obviously, I don’t know if I will ever be going back, but I won’t [burn my passport].

the USA is oppressive?
Do we stone women for talking to men?
Do we throw gays off of buildings?
Do we burn down churches?
We need to take her passport away from her, so she can’t bring her horrible hate here to oppress us.
Iranians are dying due to their treacherous ways toward other religions and other Muslims.

As usual we sit back and wonder…
WHY doesn’t she lose her citizenship?
WHY isn’t she BANNED from our country?
WHY doesn’t she renounce her U.S. citizenship if she is so unhappy?
WHY – because she wants to make US a caliphate under Sharia Law and “free speech” now includes treason and sedition. What you can’t say is anything critical about Islam or the agenda of the LEFT and nothing is really being done about it. WHY is that?

Many blacks love Islam. I guess they need to be oppressed by something and always be a victim.
FOr blacks it used to be generational dependency on the government. That is why hey typically have no “wealth”.
Now the attraction seems to be oppression by Islam. Islam is the “religion of color” while Christianity is “white man’s burden”. BTW that is also taught in Obama’s Common Core that is still in place. Some states just rebranded it with no significant changes.
” I Will Not Burn My U.S. Passport Because My Ancestors Owned and Built America”
No educated and intelligent WHITE PEOPLE BUILT AMERICA.
Anyone can do mindless menial work done by slaves under the direction of someone else.
Want proof? Look at Africa. Look specifically at farming. After they took the property of the white farmers, they didn’t know what to do with it. Look at the condition of any African country run by blacks. Why are blacks invading WHITE Europe? To be subsidized by white people. As unpleasant as that is to state that, it is TRUE!

Angola doesn’t allow the construction of mosques — unlike the decadent, degenerate, craven caucasians that are running the dying atheist West into the ground.

Nor does Japan. And the only reason the U.S. allows them is the 1st Amendment. But I KNOW our founding fathers never intended for Muslims to even live in America because they had s special fund set up just to fight them!

I recall back in the 60’s I was taking a class from an Iraqi professor when the discussion turned to the recent distribution of Nation of Islam literature on campus. Dr. Wahab smiled and said. In Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen,Oman these people would be slaves working in the fields from sun up to sun down. That was true then and it is true today.

the best part of this interview was when she condemned sex with children. She’s a traitor and seditionist and should not be allowed back in US, and that goes for any others like her, revoke her passport permanently.

Why should The U.S. change anything just to please a worthless Muslim?

Yes indeed America and Canada need to change their attitude towards Muslims. There must be a far better understanding of the ideology of Islamism which is prominent through out North America. A better understanding would enable an understanding of tequila (the requirement to lie in an effort to forward Islam) and shariah, the doctrine Islam is determined to put into our governments. Islam has been at war with free People’s world wide from day one around 600 AD. AND ISLAM IS STILL AT WAR WITH US, WE JUST HAVE PROBLEMS RECOGNIZING THAT WE ARE AT WAR !
