Texas Eagle Forum calls for banning all Muslims from military, govt jobs, and running for office
Via the Texas Freedom Network, we see that the Texas Eagle Forum has endorsed a position staked out by Elijah Abraham, an evangelical Christian convert from Islam, calling for the banning of Muslims from serving in the military , running for public office, or serving as government employees:

In the U.S., there are Muslim training camps across the country actively planning attacks on American soil. Young Americans are being converted to Islam in our jails, our military, public schools and universities, and in churches that preach Liberation Theology. Muslims have gained two seats in the U.S, Congress and have won seats in state and local races. Public school textbooks are becoming pro-Islam and anti-Christian. Muslims are buying Fortune 500 companies and high tech companies. There is a Dow Jones Islamic Index. Islamic banks, insurance companies and mortgage companies are springing up across the country. Our open borders welcome Muslims.

The challenge to America is to stop the spread of Islam in the U.S. before it is too late.

SOLUTIONS:

1. Congress MUST outlaw Shariah and international law
2. Eliminate Muslim government employees (CK: Really?)
3. Outlaw Muslim terrorist organizations, such as The Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, etc.
4. Muslims should be ineligible to run for political office
5. All Muslim military personnel should be removed from the U.S. armed forces
6. Monitor mosques
7. Shut down terrorist training camps in the U.S.

This is so unconstitutional that you could write a book on it.

8. Constitutional Scholars my ass.
These are the same guys who cherry-pick the Bible (and the Koran and the Torah) to justify their positions/actions on everything - religious fundamentalists.

That they'd do the same with the Constitution and Bill of Rights is no surprise.

13. "Young Americans are being converted to Islam .....in churches that preach Liberation Theology."
Seriously, WTF?

Christian Churches are converting people to become Muslims?

Putting aside the bigotry for a moment, do these idiots have any idea how incredibly stupid they sound?

14. ... On April 1, 1933, the Nazis carried out ... a boycott of Jewish businesses ... A week later,
the government passed a law restricting employment in the civil service to "Aryans." Jewish government workers, including teachers in public schools and universities were fired ... http://www.ushmm.org/outreach/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007693

... In 1933, a series of laws were passed which contained "Aryan paragraphs" to exclude Jews from key areas: the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, the first anti-Semitic law passed in the Third Reich; the physicians' law; and the farm law, forbidding Jews from owning farms or taking part in agriculture. Jewish lawyers were disbarred, and in Dresden, Jewish lawyers and judges were dragged out of their offices and courtrooms, and beaten. At the insistence of then president Hindenburg, Hitler added an exemption allowing Jewish civil servants who were veterans of the First World War, or whose fathers or sons had served, to remain in office. (Hindenburg was disturbed that people who had fought and bled for Germany would be forced from their state jobs.) Hitler revoked this exemption in 1937 ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

... 1935: May 21 -- A new law on military service now excludes Jews from serving in the military ... http://www.mnstate.edu/shoptaug/Timelines.htm

15. Oh, who needs that First Amendment, anyway?
Is it too early to call the folks at Texas Eagle Forum a bunch of traitors? You know, even if it is, I'll still call them a bunch of traitors at the Texas Eagle Forum, because that's what they are.

17. Whenever you see the word "freedom" bandied about as part of
an organization or movement, it almost always involves an actual SUPPRESSION of freedom in some respect!
