State Representative Rick Womic made national and international news on
Veterans Day following a radio interview when he said that Muslims should be
banned from serving in the U.S. Military and all Muslims currently serving
should be forced out.
He further added, “and if they do not like it, then
they can go back to where they came from.”
ED: How stupid when there are so many American born and raised decent young men and women in the country!
If
bigotry is a crime, the Tennessee Representative will be doing hard time in
jail for his ignorance, twisted views and his total disregard for the
Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment that prohibits a state from
denying “any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.”
Had
he made similar remarks about any other religious or ethnic group in America,
he would have been nationally condemned, forced to resign or censured in the
State House for his remarks. America’s Muslims should not be fair game!
Insulting
and demeaning Muslims is not what one expects of a public official. Such
comments are dangerous, indecent and un-American. One gets the impression that
Mr. Womic is using prejudice and racial division to advance his political
career.
I
wish to challenge Mr. Womic’s false assumptions. First of all, there are nearly
3,500 Muslims currently serving in our Armed Forces. Muslim soldiers took part
in every war and major conflict since the founding of our nation. More can be
learned about Muslims’ and Arabs’ contributions in the defense of America by
visiting the website of the Patriotic Arab-Americans in the Military www.apaam.org
It
is a religious and moral duty for all Muslims to defend the country in which
they live against enemies within or from threats from the outside. It
makes no difference if they live in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya,
Palestine or the good old US of A.
Upon
further reading, I came across this comment from a US soldier on the message
board of the British Mail Online magazine that read as follows:
Shut up, Rick W. I am in the military, I serve next to Muslim Soldiers every day and I trust them with my life – and I’m in Afghanistan right now! Perhaps you don’t recall the values of loyalty and honor. Perhaps the Air Force failed to inculcate those values in you when you served. Regardless, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. Those statements alone make you unqualified to pass judgment upon any of us ACTUALLY IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, so get stuffed. ~ Alexandra, New York, USA, 16/11/2011
It
is rather bizarre that Mr. Womic has tweeted a message earlier that day that
said, “Thank you to all our veterans who serve or have served! Ur
bravery,sacrifice and selfless service humble and inspire me. God bless u all!”
Oh
please, save me the agony Mr. Womick!
I
am an American and also a Muslim who wore the uniform with pride and served for
20 years with honor in our armed forces. I was willing and ready to die for
America if need be. Just before I retired in 2004, my oldest son also enlisted
in the military and has served two tours of duty in Iraq and one tour in
Afghanistan. The last thing he said before he left home,” If I die, I want to be
buried at Arlington!” I was stunned and speechless. Thank God he made it back
alive and not in a body bag.
My
point is, he did not learn about patriotism and loyalty at school; he learned
it at home. Questioning the loyalty and patriotism of Muslim Americans is
preposterous. It was a slap in the face for this veteran writer to endure such
an insult coming from a lawmaker on Veterans Day.
Patriotism
and loyalty is not just about waving Old Glory, it is about loving your country
and respecting other citizens regardless of their views and religious
preferences. Muslims serving in our armed forces are an asset and not a
liability.
Shame
on you Rick Womick!

Assalaamu alaykum, akhti Noor,
The below is of course my site on Christian profession of faith in Christ in love of our fellow believers in the true God, Muslims. Contained therein is reference to the Triad. A little history is appropriate. In the 19th century, the Triad was a Zio-Marxist-Communist network between Jews in three cities for the purpose of invading Palestine and bringing forth the evil reign of their 'ha maschiach' in total opposition to the true Messiah professed by both Christians and Muslims who is Our Lord Jesus Christ. Those cities were Moscow (Tsarist Russia), New York City (Freemasonic America) and Tel Aviv (Ottoman Palestine). This network brought forth Communism in Russia (financed by New York Jewry at the time of the beginning of the mythic 6,000,000). At the same time the Federal Reserve and the Jews' Tax system was started in the United States to collectivize America under their thumb and give them the power to control politics in the United States, particularly to get the United States to act as their Bully Boy in three (sic) World Wars and many conflicts in between. The third has just begun in 2001 at the infamous beginning of 911. The Triad was morphed by the Jews into the United States, Russia and Red China during the cold war which was between WWII and the current WWIII. That was all explained to me over forty years ago by a Russian-Canadian Jew operative of the Triad transnationalist Intelligence service of the KGB, shadow CIA (not regular lawful CIA) and Red Chinese Military Intelligence while that operative was conducting operations for them from the United States in the Caribbean with their long time operative Fidel Castro.
Current events and the near future:
The Triad is Russia, China and the United States until Israel replaces the United States, then it is Russia, China and Israel – then there were two, Russia and Israel and then there was one: ISRAEL THE HOME OF THE DAJJAL, ANTICHRIST – that last move is the real reason that Yamantau exists
Beware and all of us get the word out to warn God's faithful.
Baarakul laahu fiik,
Ma’ assalaamah

Israel is the Nation of the Antichrist = Dajjal: Israel is the Nation of the Antichrist
Womick is an embarrassment to Tennesseans and all rednecks, in general. I just wish that the majority of us (rednecks) understood this.
