Don't be stupid.
Ignorant braindead comments like these allow equally ignorant but opportunistic types like Mad Mac to doubt you entitlements as citizens of whatever country you reside in. Unthinking people like you would do better not to breed.
Loyalty to Allah does not conflict to loyalty to whatever non-Muslim country you reside in, because Allah requires your spiritual submission to him, and the country you reside in requires you to not engage in activities that are injurious to that society and country, to obey its laws, and to pay your taxes so you can benefit from the liberty and security a government provides. This is a logical requirement, and all four of the Madh-habs, especially the Hanafi, make it clear that treasonous and injurious actions and disobedience to the law are utterly prohibited for a Muslim citizen of that country.
Perfect example would be the 30 Million Chinese Muslims who have never lived under a Muslim ruler, in the 1400 year existence of Islam in China. Zheng He was a famous Muslim Admiral appointed to command by the Emperor, and his loyalty, integrity and patriotism was never question.
If you cannot do place your allegiance to the country you reside in, nor stomach the laws of the land, simply leave.
As for the question you pose Mad Mac, the American people would be able to hold a coherent thought between them, and were it not for the Media and those whose agenda it pushes, they would not be cognizant of the question, and its underlying assumptions. The American people are fed a bunch of trollop, and predictably, make the appropriate braying sounds, and the lawmakers take it as a mandate to get whatever done.
So, really. The question is for the academia, and not the overgrown cattle that is the average voting Neanderthal.
