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.”
Allen West is already an outstanding Congressman.
My wife and I are looking hard at Florida, and West’s district might be at the top of the list just because the people there are smart enough to elect him.
I read about what happened to him right after the capture of Saddam...in SOLDIER OF FORTUNE magazine. Awesome dude.
THIS MAN MUST RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Bump for later
America elected an African American by his chosen race. We can elect another brother by another mother who serves American values.
CAIRorist thinks they can fool us by wearing a nice suit and hiding behind tolerance.
Pray for America
The meaning of that exchange is profound.
US Military involvement in Iraq included protecting ordinary Muslims from Islamic extremists. The CAIR exec is obviously more concerned about promoting Sharia than understanding the truth about West’s career and insight.
West has a solid message, and he is a definite threat to the Left and the Centrists that enjoy selling out the Country.
I entered the military during the Iranian hostage crisis.
Like most professionals who served more than one term it behooved me to study our potential opponents.
The idiot from CAIR should have expected this outcome, if he was confronting a career officer.
WOW....
And you know what’s sad?
This will never see the light of a day on a major network other than MAYBE Fox News.
That was a thing of beauty.
He wasn't a great president either. He fed off of Truman's mess in Korea, and benefited from a decent (not great) economy in the '50s.
He was average as best. Lucky is more like it.
I agree. This man has my vote.
Cheering and saluting!
At his hearing, West had been asked by his defense attorney if he would fire his pistol again under similar circumstances. He replied: "If it's about the lives of my men and their safety, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can," he said
That is why I worked for and supported Allen West for Congress.
They were talking about Gov. Scott Walker for President on the other thread.
Allen West is living proof of the greatness of America.
Allen West knows the enemy as he knows himself.
That POS Hasan who gunned down our brave soldiers in cold blood has still not been charged.
The Secretary of Defense “ doesn’t want to go there “ when asked if this was a terrorist attack! They can’t even call the enemy the “ enemy “ when they kill screaming allasuckbar on our own military base.
As you can see from Mr. West’s response to the practitioner of the religion of peace he has no qualms about telling it like it is. He has faced the Islamopsycopaths on the battle field and he is not afraid.
ALLEN WEST FOR PRESIDENT !
You are wrong. The liberals have deliberately blinded themselves to the dangers of Islam and of Obastard’s dangerous hatred of the US.
“I was just telling someone that the only way to beat Islam is to turn on the lights and show the world what it really is.”
It’s unfortunate the the Democratic Party and it’s media allies have chosen to align themselves with radical Islam. One thinks they can just use the other, but history tells us it will be the Democrats that get used, not Islam.
And we will pay a very dear price in blood for this, eventually.
I’m very hard of hearing and can’t quite make it all out. Can someone out there PLEASE do a nice transcript of this?
Why on earth would you want to waste his talent by wishing him into the VP spot? This man is the real deal.
He would run circles around any candidate (including Palin.)
