GOP Congressman calls for purging Muslims from US Military
In the interview, which took place on Veterans Day, Womick told ThinkProgress that ‘I don’t trust one Muslim in our military’ and ‘if they truly are a devout Muslims, and follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they’re commanded to kill me.’ When asked if Muslims should be forced out of the military, Womick responded ‘Absolutely, yeah.’ Read the exchange:
FANG: What about the thousands of Muslims that are still in the military that are veterans, that are translators, that are active personnel. Is there some sort of policy solution that you’re advocating? […]
WOMICK: Personally, I don’t trust one Muslim in our military because they’re commanded to lie to us through the term called Taqiyya. And if they truly are a devout Muslim, and follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they’re commanded to kill me.
CLIFTON: You believe they should be forced out?
WOMICK: Absolutely, yeah.
