Retired Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin says '[Islam] should not be protected under the First Amendment,' there should be 'no mosques in America'
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to drop designated hate group leader Frank Gaffney Jr., retired Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin and other Islamophobes as foreign policy advisers.
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said: "Who a candidate picks for his or her advisers says volumes about that candidate's worldview. By choosing infamous Islamophobes as foreign policy advisers, Senator Cruz indicates that he subscribes to their conspiratorial worldview and to the anti-Muslim bigotry that would inevitably shape their policy recommendations. We ask Senator Cruz to drop any adviser who has a past history of promoting conspiracy theories or religious bigotry."
MSNBC's Chris Matthews has referred to Gaffney as "one of the country's leading anti-Muslim conspiracy theorists."
Gaffney's organization, the Center for Security Policy (CSP), has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Cruz's list of foreign policy advisers reportedly also includes two people who work for Gaffney's organization - Fred Fleitz and Clare Lopez.

CAIR details Gaffney's and the Center for Security Policy's role in America's Islamophobia network in its report, "Legislating Fear: Islamophobia and its Impact in the United States," and on its website, Islamophobia.org.

Gaffney is a key promoter of the bizarre conspiracy theory that Muslims in public service are infiltrating the government on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He has questioned "whether Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States," claimed the Missile Defense Agency logo is part of a "worrying pattern of official U.S. submission to Islam," claimed an aide to Hillary Clinton was a secret Muslim Brotherhood operative, was a key witness for the plaintiffs in a controversial lawsuit seeking to block construction of a Tennessee mosque, promoted the debunked claim that Dearborn, Mich., is a "ghetto enclave in which it's Muslim-only," and hosted "white supremacist" Jared Taylor on his "Secure Freedom" radio program.
Gaffney's staff attorney, David Yerushalmi, has advocated outlawing the practice of Islam in America and is the key promoter of anti-Islam bills in state legislatures nationwide, including one being voted on today by the Idaho legislature.

When leading GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed a ban on all Muslims entering the United States, he quoted from a sham survey commissioned by Gaffney's organization.
Also on Cruz's list is Andrew McCarthy, who has echoed Gaffney's view that Muslims are seeking to impose Islamic law in America, and retired Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin, who has stated that "[Islam] should not be protected under the First Amendment," that there should be "no mosques in America" and that there can be no interfaith dialogue or cooperation between Muslims and Christians.

In 2012, CAIR welcomed Boykin's withdrawal from a prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point following a controversy over his bigoted views.
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

What?
I have news for you trump is going to toss all the muzzies in high places
Did you know that Trump has met with Richard Haass?
Who? His neighbor? Barber? Banker?
I’m still waiting for CACR...Council on American Christian Relations.
CAIR = Muzzie Broz = Jihadi terrorist hate group.
Declare Islamic Doctrine to be seditious to the US Constitution.
The Devil Went Down to Texas
Well the Devil went down to Texas
He was lookin’ for a soul to steal
He was in a bind ‘cause he was way behind
And he was needin’ to make a deal
When he came across this young man
On campaign stump and man he was doin’ it hot
And the Devil jumped up on the campaign stump
And said, “Boy, let me tell you what”
“You probably didn't know it
But I'm in this election too
And if you CAIR to take my dare
I'll just make a bet with you”
“Now you talk a pretty tough game there, boy
But give this Devil his due
I'll bet a calf of gold in exchange for your soul
An’ then Isam n’ Jihad will look a lot better to you”
The boy said , ‘My name's Teddy, and that bet would be a sin........
So what ya gonna tell ‘em Ted?
Are all the kingdoms of the world worth your soul.
Sorry Charlie, I couldn't help myself
The devil made me do it
Huma Abedin was (or still might be) a staffer/member of the Moslem Brotherhood. It was not a secret but openly found on their materials.
Her mother and father were big MB operatives, even if it was only in the propaganda side of things.
“CAIR is to honesty as Hitler was to better German-Jewish relations”.
The SPLC is to honest investigations as Mark Lane ( a closet Marxist) was to an honest JFK assassination investigation. Lane - “Rush to Judgment” fraud book. Lawyer for the Marxist fanatic leader Rev. Jim Jones of Jonestown Massacre. Anti-Israel. One-time favorite of the CPUSA in New York politics/candidate for Congress (Ask Lane how that worked out, and why).
The barbarians are not only at our gates, they are inside of them in groves.
And what is Twda response. That will be more telling
Different times different postures for CAIR. They were not open about their jihadi intentions then
He won’t be elected but it would go a long way to reassure some.
I still want him to be more aggressive on the border and illegals. He rarely mentions it
the border illegals include thousands of IslamoNazi young males of war-making, fighting age
(THAT IS ON TOP of all the thousands more of them that O is importing “legally”)
Indeed. Well said
And the problem is?....
Yes, Chris Mathews is right, of course. We all know that the idea that there is a global Islamic plan to take over the world via jihad, taqqyeh and genocide and terrorism is just a crazy conspiracy theory. What’s a lot of throat slitting, crucifixion and beheading accompanied by the raping of hundreds of thousands of young girls?

The problem is the first amendment.
That needs to be fixed. As is currently written Islamists are using to their advantage to slowly take over the country.
“Question is, how do you do it when the first amendment forbids Congress to pass any laws restricting the EXERCISE of religion?”
It’s a religion?
Or a battle plan against Christianity and Western Civilization.
IMHO, the latter. So the First Amendment does not apply.
The first amendment doesn’t define what is a religion.
A billion and a half people say it’s a religion. Even the Pope says it’s a religion, as well as probably the majority of Americans.
Unless the first amendment is changed to define what is meant by “religion”, the Islamists are going to be laughing at us while they take over, courtesy of our most fundamental law.
