Bryan Fischer: Left Wingers Are Distorting My Views
Uhh…Mr. Fischer?
I don’t distort your views at all, I let your quotes speak for themselves and allow your own words to condemn you. When I add commentary that is solely my own opinion and thoughts on what you said, the reader can judge for themselves whether my comments are relevant.
Besides which in this article it is often simply you arguing against strawmen of your own making.
In a lame effort to discredit Gov. Rick Perry’s call for a national day of prayer and fasting (called “The Response”) on August 6, the leftwing blogosphere has gone after the American Family Association in general and after me in particular.
…1. “gays caused the Holocaust.” False. What I spoke is the simple truth: the Nazi Party was responsible for the Holocaust. If the question is then further asked, who was responsible for the Nazi Party, the answer, as a matter of simple historical truth: homosexual thugs….
and the difference is…what exactly?
2. “gays…are planning on doing it (the Holocaust) again.” False.
Here is the transcript of my remarks:
“Homosexual activists, when it comes to freedom of speech, are Nazis. When it comes to freedom of religion, they are Nazis. There is no room in their world for dissent, there is no room in their world for disagreement, there is no room in their world for criticism…
…”Ladies and gentlemen, they are Nazis. Do not be under any illusions about what homosexual activists will do with your freedoms and your religion if they have the opportunity. They’ll do the same thing to you that the Nazis did to their opponents in Nazi Germany…”
Did you even read what your own transcript says? What the hell were we supposed to think you meant by that? Now you attempt to say that that isn’t what you meant.
3. “gays should be banned from holding public office” — This is accurate. I do believe this…
Ok then?
4. “homosexuality should be criminalized” — Not accurate. What I have written and said (you can ask Alan Colmes about this) is that our public policies on homosexual behavior should be the same as our public policies toward intravenous drug abuse, since both behaviors represent a severe threat to health.
You do know that IV drug use is illegal and that thousands of people are in jail because of this, right?
5. “foreign Muslims should either be exterminated or forced to convert to Christianity” — Horrendous distortion. What I said was that, if we are attacked from or by a Muslim nation, we should go in with military force and neutralize the threat. Then I suggest we bring missionaries in, since it is Christianity that has made the United States the freest, strongest, and most prosperous nation on earth. If they don’t want to listen to our missionaries, fine. We’ll bring them and our soldiers home. But we let them know that if you attack us again and we have to come back, this time we’ll come back not with missionaries but with overwhelming lethal force.
Oh right, I see, you said exactly the same thing but in the opposite order, your right, that is a “horrendous distortion.” Not.
6. “American Muslims should be deported” — Wrong again.
…But I do believe we should not extend citizenship any longer to immigrant Muslims, even the ones who are here legally. When their legal immigration provisions expire, we should happily bear the cost of repatriating them to their homelands. Immigration is a privilege, not a right, and the god of Islam teaches his followers to kill Americans. It’s simply bad policy to extend citizenship to people who have a solemn, sacred, religious obligation to exterminate us.
So I guess to split hairs your right, what you said was that those Muslims who are already American citizens can stay but all others should be deported. Gotcha.
7. “there should be a permanent ban on mosque construction in the United States” — Partly true. What I have recommended is that local planning and zoning boards no longer issue permits — what about the word “permit” do people not understand? — for the building of mosques. This is because 81% of the mosques in America distribute literature that supports violent jihad and the imposition of sharia law by force, and 95% of Muslims who attend prayers regularly attend one of these mosques.
You got these figures from where exactly? I have looked and I can’t find anyone claiming this anywhere online except for you Bryan. My personal belief is that you are pulling them out of thin air (or your ass).
8. “Muslims should be prohibited from serving in the armed forces” — True. Serving in the United States military is a privilege not a right, and we should have no room in our military for those whose religion teaches them to “slay the idolaters wherever you find them” (Surah 9:5)…
Ok then, so this is another one you freely admit to, no?
Your Right Mr Fischer (pun intended) as we have seen here the Left is grossly distorting your views…Oops sorry, I guess maybe we didn’t see that actually.
Perhaps maybe you should just have the balls to stand up and own what your words say instead of trying to claim differently?
