A chief spokesman for the pro-life, far-right organisation, American Family Association, has called for the removal of Muslim soldiers from the US Army in the wake of the killings at Fort Hood.
According to The Huffington Post, Director of Issues Analysis, Bryan Fischer took it upon himself to release a blog post titled "No More Muslims in the U.S Army", urging government officials "stop the practice of allowing Muslims to serve in the U.S. military."
His argument included reasonings such as
"..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."
And we thought Nick Griffin was bad??
He argues that Christians are taught to imitate the life of Christ, and the same for muslim in regards to the Prophet - therefore; "Nidal Malik Hasan was simply being a good Muslim".
Fischer's words has helped fan the flames of Islamo-Phobia and general discrimination towards Middle-Eastern Americans/immigrants. With the nation still in shock over the tragic shooting - The AFA has used the age old ploy of using the emotion of the public for political gains.
His arguments on Islam and its Prophet are inaccurate beyond measure and match the nature of the offensive caricature published in Jyllands-Posten last year.
I understand these are not the views held by the majority of Americans, but this is a organization that has an annual budget of roughly $14 million and owns 180 American Family Radio stations in 28 states. And with the war-efforts reaching boiling point - comments like these may be taken as gospel to the public with Republican tendencies.
America is in a war within the Middle-East killing where their soldiers have killed up-to 102,574 civilians - thats more than all 9/11 victims and U.S soldiers killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Fort Hood combined.
The controversial blog-post has sparked a wave of comments from the public.
"It was ignorant, fear-mongering dolts like you that placed Japanese-Americans in concentration camps during World War II. It was people like you that called for the deaths of innocent women during the Salem Witch Trials. It was people like you that discriminated against the Irish and Italians when they immigrated to the U.S. in mass during the early 19th century. It was people of your mindset that considered African-Americans to be three-fifths human. Perhaps you'd feel more at home in Israel where you can join the IDF and slaughter innocent and extremist Muslims without distinction, or perhaps run a checkpoint operated entirely on the basis of racial profiling. The last time I checked, all men are created equal in this nation."
Benjamin Franklin once put it, "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."
Tell that to this guy....
