At a townhall meeting hosted by Congressman Allen West on Monday evening in Pompano Beach, the Q&A segment of the meeting featured a Koran wielding Nezar Hamze, Executive Director of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Hamze confronted Congressman West and asked him to point out where in the Koran does it give marching orders to Muslims “to carry out attacks against Americans and innocent people”. West quickly pointed out that the Koran was written long before America even existed and that it does indeed tell believers to kill infidels, and then proceeded to chronicle a lengthy list of historical Muslim acts of aggression. Congressman West closed his retort by referencing the Fort Hood shootings and 9-11 attacks, saying that his first hand experiences on the battlefield has given him insight into the tactics that Islamists use before telling Hamze not to “try to blow sunshine up my butt” with his criticism of him. West took offense to Hamze’s amateurish criticism of his stance on radical Islam and concluded by telling Mr. Hamze to “put the microphone down and go home.”
I tend to agree with you....I’m not convinced Sarah will run as things esculate worldwide...or if she could win if things continue to get out of hand as they are going. Obama could be easily put down with the likes of West...nobody will be treading on him!
Sarahs a tough bird, and great for our nation, and I want to see her in office in the next administration...and I think she will be...not so sure she’ll take the presidential seat though or if that’s where she has decided she wants to be. But certainly a leading figure in the administration.
“Go West” Ping.
You’re Daddy had it right. God Bless Him.
You are right. Obamessiah has set race relations in America back for decades and poisoned the well and salted the ground. It will be decades before another “black” man will be elected, no matter who they are because Americans are sick and tired of the color of one’s skin instead of the quality of their CHARACTER being THE CRITERIA used for gaining position and power. The era of “affirmative action” is over and those complaining can thank Obama and his ilk.
CAIR Director on the Record http://shark-tank.net/?p=11510
God watch over and protect Mr. West-—WE NEED HIM!! He is a true hero. He’s standing up to them! I am so impressed!! I want him for President!
"You recently told a Marine that the terrorists that attacked the United States and the people that are attacking America are following islam, and they are following the instruction of the koran."
Hamze: You recently told a Marine that the terrorists that attacked the United States and the people that are attacking America are following Islam and they are following the instruction of the Koran. So, very simple question. I'm not going to take a lot of your time. I'm not going to comment on Mr. Kaufman's {unintelligible then someone in the background says 'Shut up."} Can you show me one verse in this Koran where it says to attack America, attack Americans, or attack innocent people?
Mr. West: Well, of course it doesn't say attack American or Americans {unintelligible} the book was written back you know sometime around the 8th or 9th century so America wasn't even around {applause} but you do have a {unintelligible} story in there and there is talk about killing infidels. Look, you know.
Hamze: {unintelligible}
Mr. West: We don't have time to sit here and go through this. This is a losing proposition. From 622 A.D.
Hamze: {unintelligible} I tried to. I tried to.
Mr. West: It's the truth! It's out there! 622 A.D. on. The Nahkla Raid. It didn't happen? 628 the Battle of Qādisiyyah 3,000 Jewish families slaughtered. 732 A.D. Battle of Tours {unintelligible} {applause} 1671 {LOUD APPLAUSE} {unintelligible} 1693 {more applause} Islam {unintelligible} Mohammed's first wife. Something happened when Mohammed enacted the Hijrah. And he left Mecca and he went out to Medina. It became violent. Now you explain it to me. Major Hassan was shouting 'Allāhu Akbar.' The people who flew those planes into those buildings shouting 'Allāhu Akbar.' I've been on the battlefield my friend. Ok? Don't try to blow sunshine up my butt and tell me {unintelligible} {APPLAUSE}
Hamze: Mr. West, may I respond to you?" I'm ashamed. I am ashamed to be here with all of these people. And you've attacked Islam. You attacked..
Mr. West: You attacked us! You attacked us!" {unintelligible} I went to Muslim countries to defend the freedom of Muslim people! Don't come up here and try to criticize me! Put the microphone down and go home!
{WILD APPLAUSE!!!}
Oh, I don’t know — I think THIS black man can get elected.
But he won’t be elected because he’s black. He will get elected because he’s a true American Patriot who has the experience and the ability to smack down little LYING worms like this CAIR creep . . .
This country needs an entire Congress just like Col. West and especially one just like Col. West sitting in our White House.
I hear that!
holy moly! I’m in love!!!!!
BRAVO!!!!
Congressman West closed his retort by referencing the Fort Hood shootings and 9-11 attacks, saying that his first hand experiences on the battlefield has given him insight into the tactics that Islamists use before telling Hamze not to “try to blow sunshine up my butt...”
Oh...My...GAWD!!!! Sorry Sarah, I think I have a new candidate.
I don't have a "new" candidate, I have THE candidate. I like Mrs. Palin a great deal, but just don't feel totally comfortable with her as President.
Yes he would.
Most excellent. I support Mr. West.
I’d rather see a picture of Alan West, cut as your pic is.
Palin/West 2012... Oh? Haven’t you heard? This was decided by (NOT ME) but Providence only minutes ago. Allen West is truly a national treasure, if I might steal a phrase from Impala.
I’m a die-hard Palin supporter, but I wouldn’t cry in my beer if West was POTUS. I’ve been impressed with him since the first time I heard him.
It could still happen. Remember, Bamby is only half-black. West, were he to run and win, would be the first actual "Black" President. And liberal heads would explode all over the world!
