No you can't. Best you can probably do is find somewhere in the U.S. that's closer to your outlook - eg San Francisco or Vermont?amzad wrote:can a left wing american apply for asylum in the eu?
The very idea of an American citizen applying for asylum anywhere in the world is just plain ridiculous. No government anywhere in the world would seriously entertain the notion that an American citizen would require political asylum.outofhere wrote:Has anyone got experience of applying for asylum and get accepted with an American passport? Or experience of not having been accepted anywhere?
I have heard it’s really hard and especially Canada turns people back or puts them into jail.
It would be really important for me to know.
Oy Dawie, my missus is from Russia and we both agree Russia is free-er than Uk for sure! No traffic wardens, no nanny state, no traffic calming, no one way systems, no yellow lines! Seriously, I love it there, much like the UK in seventies, slight age of innocence before the real Western make-money-out-of-everyone-asap culture swept in.Dawie wrote:Let's put it this way........genuine asylum seekers from some of the most unpleasant and draconian governments in the world, including Iraq, Iran, Russia, Sudan and Zimbabwe are only very reluctantly even considered for asylum by Western governments.
It doesn't matter that you consider the US government to be abusing your rights. Every Western, "1st world" country today has a certain part of its society who consider themselves "persecuted". And this might very well be the case in the US, I'm not one to judge.
But the reality of the geopolitical situation in the world today is that certainly no country in Europe and most of the world would seriously grant an American citizen asylum. It just wouldn't happen. The level of persecution in the US, perceived or otherwise, just does not even compare to the suffering of millions of genuine asylum seekers and refugees around the world.
To suggest otherwise is an insult to the millions of displaced people around the world who genuinely require protection.
What's the fact that the guy's muslim got to do with anything? When Timothy Mcvay blew up that building in Oaklahoma, you didn't see anything mentioned about the fact that he was christian. No one said "Some christian guy blew up a building". Nobody started burning down churches or harassing people wearing crosses.blakeb81 wrote:After 9/11 I genuinly fear for my life in this country. They had a Muslim in my apartment complex just the other day running around hollering about how he was gonna start shooting up the place.

Im sure amzad will have a good chance of success if he can apply for asylum in Iran or Saudi Arabia...hopefully, they will welcome him with kindness,compassion and offer him citizenship in due time
