Sheila Jackson Lee asks about ‘Christian militants’ during anti-Muslim hearing
06.15.11 | By David Edwards

When Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called a hearing on Muslim radicalism, he probably didn’t expect Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to turn the spotlight on “Christian militants.”

But that’s exactly what she did Wednesday.

Jackson Lee noted that one witness who wrote a letter to the committee about the dangers of radical Islam in prisons had been arrested for bombing an abortion clinic.

“Are you familiar with the Christian militants?” she asked former New York Dept. of Correctional Services official Patrick Dunleavy. “Can one might say that they might possibly want to undermine this country because right now the right for women to choose is a Constitutional right but people disagree with it but here is an individual trying to undermine the protections that are given to women? Would you suggest that might be compared to trying to undermine this country? That’s a possibility, is it not?”

“Well, I think that anyone that goes about killing in the name of God is an ideologue,” Dunleavy admitted.

“Can one might say that they might possibly want to undermine this country”

Does the congresswoman know how to speak English?

They should have asked her if she had to choose one, would she rather be surrounded by a group of radical Muslims, or radical Christians?

Many of us here at FR would thunderously reply in unison, "Damn straight, Sheila!"

Is she the one that asked NASA if the Mars Rover would be visiting the site where the astronauts planted the flag?

unfortunately this argument is actually being used by otherwise seemingly sane leftists.

Wait a minute, is that an oxymoron?

Dunleavy threaded this needle quite nicely. Almost no abortion protestors end up shooting abortionists or politicians who oppose limiting or ending abortions. The fatality rate from Islamic radicals (which includes such stuff as Sharia honor killings) is notoriously higher.

Ah yes, Sheila Jaclson Fleas, the yeast that just keeps on giving infection. Would someone please send to her a picture of that flag the astronauts planted on Mars? ... No, it doesn’t have to be real. [BTW, did anyone bother to tell that other famous democrat congressfool that Guam is atop a sea mountain and won’t tip over?]

Would have been nice for someone to have called her up short right on the spot, but it matters less in the larger picture.

Would you consider people who kill unborn babies in the name of “A Women's Right to Choose” ideologues?

If it was one crazy Muslim bombing an abortion clinic, it would be wrong but the world could rest easier knowing it's just an occasional whack-job at a place most people would never go. The whole problem that Lee is ignoring is that it isn't an occasional crazy guy, it's thousands of crazy guys willing to kill millions for a perverted religion.

NO, Dunleavy, you cringing fool. A person who terrorizes while claiming to be a Christian is not a Christian, is not backed by Christian teachings, and is not supported by Christians.

But a person who terrorizes in the name of Islam is a Muslim, is backed by Islamic teachings and is supported by Muslims.

THAT is the answer you were supposed to give this rancid, murderous bitch, who is trying to use her power in Congress to protect the enemies of our country.
