On Veterans Day, State Rep. Rick Womick (R-TN) Calls For Purging Muslims From The Military
By Eli Clifton and Lee Fang
ThinkProgress filed this report from the “Preserving Freedom Conference” in Nashville, TN.
State representative Rick Womick (R-TN) has made no secret of his anti-Muslim views. A New York Times article from July described Womick on the statehouse floor, warning his constuents that Islamic law was the most urgent threat to their way of life. But in an interview on the sidelines of the “Preserving Freedom Conference” at the Cornerstone Church in Madison, TN, Womick went to new extremes to paint Muslim Americans as dangerous and seditious.
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.

Hey Mr Ignorant
It seems that you have been reading Pamela Geller sites when she spoke about takiya! well you have just mentioned sunnis, We do not have takiya, Go and do a better search in the shia sect, you might find something!
If you want to attack Muslims and use their own religion as a weapon to attack them, then at least learn a little more the weapon you are using. When one with no previous knowledge of guns plays with a gun, the gun may misfire and the guy may get hurt; the same things is happening to you here! you are trying to play with the knowledge of a religion that you have not studied and guess what, your action has misfired back at you and showed you are an Ignorant person.
