couldn’t agree more. it scares me!
i wish we had a conservative candidate,
who had the courage to say what you two just did.
Our politicians are useless. I had hopes for the new ones but I imagine that, like the President, they were told “Sit down and shut up boy and you can stay in office.”
Allen West Tells Muslim at a Town Hall Event: “You Attacked Us”
At a town hall meeting last night in Pompano, Allen West briefly sparred with a Qur’an-wielding supplicant who was there, in West’s words, to “blow sunshine up his butt.” (West always thinks Muslims want to blow something up.)
“You recently told a marine that the terrorists that attacked the United States, the people that are attacking America, are following Islam...” said the Muslim. “Can
you show me one verse in this Qur’an where it said to attack America, attack Americans, or attack innocent people?”
“Of course it doesn’t say attack America!” said West. “The book was written back in the eighth, ninth century. America wasn’t even around!” West then said something that was lost beneath the crowd’s noisy consternation and pointed out that the Qur’an, while devoid of explicit anti-Americanism, does advocate the killing of infidels. Which is true.
The Muslim supplicant tried to have a debate on the subject, but the assembled Floridians wouldn’t let him talk. They barely let Allen West talk. The congressman draws an excitable crowd.
West, unlike his supplicant, bulldozed right through the noise, doing his usual parlor trick of naming dates of alleged Muslim attacks upon peaceable, Christian Europeans. (We’ve debunked that trick here, but apparently to no good end.) When his supplicant finally found an opening in the surrounding roar and mentioned that West has “attacked Islam” (where he was going with that line of thought is anyone’s guess, cuz he didn’t get to finish), West said: “You attacked us!”
