American Family Association Advocates Banning Muslims from Military
Donald Wildmon’s American Family Association has a blog, and on that blog they’re advocating: No More Muslims in the U.S. Military.
The author, Bryan Fischer, AFA’s “Director of Issues Analysis,” seems to believe he’s in a religious war between Christianity and Islam. To Fischer, all Muslims are enemies, and that’s how he thinks the military should treat them.
It it [sic] is time, I suggest, to stop the practice of allowing Muslims to serve in the U.S. military. The reason is simple: the more devout a Muslim is, the more of a threat he is to national security. Devout Muslims, who accept the teachings of the Prophet as divinely inspired, believe it is their duty to kill infidels. Yesterday’s massacre is living proof. And yesterday’s incident is not the first fragging incident involving a Muslim taking out his fellow U.S. soldiers.
Of course, most U.S. Muslims don’t shoot up their fellow soldiers. Fine. As soon as Muslims give us a foolproof way to identify their jihadis from their moderates, we’ll go back to allowing them to serve. You tell us who the ones are that we have to worry about, prove you’re right, and Muslims can once again serve. Until that day comes, we simply cannot afford the risk. You invent a jihadi-detector that works every time it’s used, and we’ll welcome you back with open arms.
This is not Islamophobia, it is Islamo-realism.
And don’t give us reassurances about the oaths that Muslim soldiers take to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Hasan took that oath, and it proved meaningless. In fact, the more devout a Muslim is, the more likely he is to lie to you through his teeth, since lying to the infidel to advance the cause of Islam is commended, not just permitted, in the Koran.
This incredibly stupid article is a grievous insult to the thousands of Muslims who serve with great valor in the US military, side by side with their comrades of different faiths. And it’s a profoundly un-American point of view to promote.
Shame on the American Family Association, who make a great show of standing for decency and family values, then turn around and advocate irrational bigotry and collective punishment.
