Top Democrat: ‘Un-American’ to Question Muslim Lawmaker on Intel Panel
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | January 16, 2015 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 01/16/2015 8:13:57 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said those who criticize the appointment of Democratic Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) to the Intelligence Committee because he is a Muslim are “un-American.”

Schiff, who is the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said he has been “deeply disturbed” by the reaction by some to Carson’s appointment last week.

“I am deeply disturbed that since his appointment to the committee, Congressman Carson has been subject to vicious, anti-Muslim attacks online and in social media, questioning his loyalty to our country solely because of his faith.”(continued)

Schiff is the same guy that kept badmouthing the Benghazi investigation. Not hard to see what side he’s on.

No difference from questioning Subverts of the Constitution, like Communists.
Islam is the sworn Enemy of the USA. We didn't make that up.

Most everyone here learned everything they needed to know about Islam on 9/11.

If you critize a black person = racist

If you critize a woman = sexist

If you critize a Muslim = Un-American

Now I’ve heard it all. The worst killers in America have all been MUSLIMS .. but it’s Un-American if you think its a bad idea to have such people on our CLASSIFIED INTEL COMMITTEE.

It gets more and more discouraging every day.

The liberals have gone mad .. literally.

From the Center for Security Policy:

The Muslim American Society (MAS) and Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) just concluded their 13th annual convention held at the McCormick Center in President Barack Obama’s hometown of Chicago from 25-28 December 2014. Notable among the scheduled contributors at this gathering of high level international and national leadership representing the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood was keynote speaker U.S. Congressman André Carson, a Democrat from Indiana’s 7th District. The presence at this convention of an elected U.S. lawmaker who has received financial donations from Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations ever since he was first elected to the House of Representatives in a special election in early 2008 must be a matter of serious concern.

Controversy surrounds the appearance of Congressman Carson at the MAS-ICNA 2014 Convention in Chicago where he was a scheduled panelist together with Mazen Mokhtar, National Executive Director for the Muslim American Society, which was founded as the U.S. branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Worse yet, according to the testimony of federal agents in federal courts, MAS National Executive Director Mokhtar facilitated operations for running an Al-Qa’eda website responsible for raising funds for the Taliban. In March 2014, MAS was just one of several Muslim Brotherhood-affiliates that joined together to establish the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), the first U.S. political party openly founded by members of the North American Brotherhood network.

At the December 2014 MAS-ICNA Convention, Carson and Mokhtar were scheduled to speak on a panel addressing “Ferguson Is Our Issue: We Can’t Breathe.” The following picture is from the actual program of the MAS-ICNA 2014 Convention issued to attendees, which clearly shows that Congressman Carson was scheduled to appear on a panel 26 December 2014 with Mazen Mokhtar, the executive director of USCMO member MAS National. (The program date is printed erroneously, as the last Saturday in December 2014 was the 27th, not the 26th). Nevertheless, Carson’s later official statement that he didn’t even find out about this panel until sometime on Sunday 28 December seems questionable.

Number of mass casualty events on military bases in the last ten years by non Muslim military staff?

You don't like it, tough. Yes, millions of Muslims don't go wacko and try to chop off heads, innocent until proved guilty. But enough are wacked out and infect others to warrant extreme caution.

Change the religion, say those were all fundamentalist Christians, you better believe that the liberals would have nailed any members of that sect from any position where intelligence could be compromised.

And I'd support that decision.

Me too, while I fear for the day when the West wakes up, it is coming and due. If the people of the “religion of peace” need to see what is coming, think camps, extermination and torture. The Europeans are especially good at that. The US and its ally Britain are really good at laying waste. All it takes is the right leader and provocation.

The old saying:
When blacks are pushed too far, cities burn.
When whites are pushed too far, continents burn.

Several factions are pushing HARD to get whites on the march once again. How soon they forget.

Don’t forget America itself was discovered because Europe wanted to find a way around the barbarian wastelands of the Mozlem hordes.

Some here may remember that after 9-11 there were Muslim FBI agents that refused to spy on other Muslims.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA): Either islamist himself, or islamist facilitator.

There is no other way out for him..

“deeply disturbed”

Funny, That’s how I used to characterize Rep. Carson’s mother Julia. Being a Carson in Indianapolis is like being a Kennedy in Mass.

questioning his loyalty to our country solely because of his faith

Could it be because his faith requires he be an enemy of our country?

Considering the anti-American communist in our White House, the patriotism or lack thereof of one congressman doesn’t concern me.
