Allen West Confronted by Koran-Wielding CAIR Executive
The Shark Tank ^ | 02/21/2011 | Javier Manjarres

Posted on 02/21/2011 7:47:22 PM PST by Allthegoodusernamesaregone

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.”

West is good on immigration issues and disagrees with Palin’s statements about no workplace enforcement and no deportation.

Illegal Immigration:

The Constitution of the United States of America has these three mandates; ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and provide for the common defense. All three of these directives relate to the issue of illegal immigration, as illegal immigration adversely affects our economy, jobs, national security, crime levels, education, and healthcare. Illegal immigration also allows human traffickers, drug runners, and Islamic terrorists to exploiting our porous border.

Quite simply, federal laws already on the books aimed at stopping the flow of illegal immigration must be enforced. Furthermore, states must be given the resources necessary to confront the problem, which includes strengthening the border patrol. When dealing with illegal immigration, the answer is simple; enforce Constitutional mandates, and you will protect Floridians and the American people.

Compliments to both Sarah and Allen. Even in America minds can be changed and the Constitution can be upheld as the standard, even when the courts fail us.

Great to hear from you, and Thank You for the ping. Your insight is always a blessing.

Koran thumper underestimates the great & fearless Col. West. We're onto you Islamic emissaries of the devil. Luke 4:8 "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

My favorite part, at the very end:

Hamze continued: “I am ashamed to be here with all of these people, when you attack Islam, you attack –”

West cut him off.

“You attacked us. You attacked us,” West responded. “I went to Muslim countries to try to defend the freedom of Muslim people. Don’t come up here to try to criticize me. Put the microphone down and go home.”

Real moral authority smacks down phony moral authority, and with style!

But also noticable was how all the others at that table squirmed all over....

Not only in words, but physical actions. Did you notice how those on either side of him pulled their arms and bodies away from him once he started to define islam?

West was the only man/leader at that table!
