Rep. Walsh Defends Comments about Radical Muslims
“We cannot let political correctness blind us to reality.”
WASHINGTON- Today, Rep. Joe Walsh (IL-08) defended comments made at Elk Grove Village on Wednesday evening concerning the danger radical Muslims pose to American families.
“The threat that radical Islam poses to American families and our way of life is not anything new.
“It is a real threat.
“The Committee on Homeland Security, of which I am a member, has held five hearings that examined the threat of Muslim radicalization, especially radicalization within the Muslim-American community.
Joe Walsh’s Town Hall comments on Muslim Radicals were featured on WGN the night after.
“Members of the Committee are not alone in this—even Attorney General Holder and Janet Napolitano of the Obama Administration have warned about the dangers of radical Islam.”
“We cannot let political correctness blind us to reality.
“While most Muslims in America and around the world are as peace loving as the rest of us, we would be foolish to ignore the fact that there is a radical minority that simply wants to destroy America and the values that we stand for.
“A recent Pew Poll said that 15% of Muslim-American men between the age of 18 and 29 could support suicide bombings.
“How people can dismiss things like that, I don’t understand, but I won’t.
“It is our responsibility as Members of Congress to protect American families.”
To be politically correct, Joe Walsh is an idiot.
When was the last time a Muslim went on a killing spree in America?
How many of the last 100 killing sprees in America have been committed by Muslims?
Walsh sits on the Homeland Security Council.
Why doesn’t he mention the other threats to our nation as reported this week.
White Veterans and Supremacist Groups (far more a threat than radical Islamist) and Right Wing Evangelical Churches.
You can’t be serious, LC.
That is total BS and you KNOW it!
The last successful one I remember was at Fort Hood.
