Allen West on Bill Cosby’s pro-Muslim post: Are you crazy?
The Washington Times ^ | June 11, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Posted on 06/11/2013 10:04:38 AM PDT by jazusamo

Former Floridian Rep. Allen West had a blunt response to comedian Bill Cosby’s published weekend opinion piece, speaking of the attributes of Muslims and encouraging Americans to emulate them: Have you lost your mind?

“Bill Cosby said we should [be] more like Muslims,” Mr. West wrote, on his Twitter account. “[You] mean honor killings, beheadings, suicide bombings? Hope [you’re] kidding sir.”

Mr. West was responding to an opinion piece published in The New York Post written by Mr. Cosby.

“Cosby used to be a comic, until he turned comical...”

Cosby’s humor once was universal, starting with “Why is There Air?” and later attained its zenith with the Huxtables. And the entire nation reached out to him with the tragic death of his son.

Then something happened, in the mid 1980’s. Cosby began taking himself and his Ed.D. degree much more seriously. He supported Al Sharpton in the Tawana Brawley fraud of 1987 & still does. His public statements became much more race-specific and now culminate with the NOI endorsement.

IMO, it sounds like the paid leadership which had been needling Cosby for years for “forgetting where you came from” finally ensnared him in their deadly embrace. Cosby could have maintained his influence on entertainment & the culture across all ethnicities & groups, but instead he has been drawn back into the invisible clutches of `da hood’.

The rest of nonblack America can only bid him a sad farewell.

I loved Cosby, in the early 60s; he is a classic.
Sooner or later we must cut all old folks some slack. With few exceptions, senility and cynicism (and occasionally megalomania) take their toll, and railing against them is not very charitable. None of is guaranteed immunity from the inevitable descent into "that dark night."

I prefer to remember the genius, the performer, who gave us (and continues to give us) the pleasure of his unique gift.

It’s strange how many Blacks who convert to islime do so because they see Christianity as the religion of those who owned their ancestors. So they embrace the religion of those who SOLD their ancestors. And in many cases still own some of their brethren in parts of Africa. This is their idea of “getting over” on Whitey?

And, please be aware that Arab Muslims are demographically categorized as “white” or “caucasian”.

And...the POTUS has a direct relationship thru his Father.

I think his downfall began when his son was murdered.

“The man is in his mid-80s and obviously suffering from some form of dementia.”

Cosby is only 75 (born 1937). Since his son died he has been saying some goofy things.

Islam is a curse; but that does not mean that everything that Muslims say or do is wrong. Muslims could rightfully criticize us, for example,for abortion on demand, mandating parent-free birth control for 14 year olds, and teaching the gay agenda in our public schools.

Partly why I do not watch “The Cosby Show” reruns anymore.

Too bad about Cosby. My brother-in-law met him in NYC. Said he was a nice guy.

Anyway, a couple of videos:

Ursalina. A Cosby composition, with one of my favourite players, David Murray on tenor, the late Sonny Sharrock on guitar, the late Don Pullen on piano, Mark Egan on bass, and Al Foster on drums.

And this is just hilarious: Gig with Sonny Stitt

I agree, it is too bad, he’s provided countless hours of entertainment, good entertainment.

Thanks for the links.

Yep, to be fair to Cos, he was speaking about American Black Muslims, like you said.

That's all well and good that they don't drink, and take care of their families, but these dudes hate white people and Jews with a passion.

They probably won't cut your head off, but good grief. They are not much better in the hate department than the Klan.

And one doesn't cross them, ever.

Look at Malcolm X. He wanted to be a real Muslim, and once he found out about Elijah Muhammed's real proclivities and corruption, he left the group and spilled the beans.

Guess what happened?
