Allen West: “We have domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America.” By Caroline May. The Daily Caller, April 19, 2013.

Let me
be very clear, the terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we
have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America. We must no longer
allow the disciples of political correctness and the acolytes of the Muslim
Brotherhood (CAIR, ISNA, MPAC, MAS) to preach to us some misconceived
definition of tolerance and subservience. When tolerance becomes a one way
street it leads to cultural suicide. Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, MAJ Hasan
in Ft Hood, the Ft Dix Six, Faisal Shahazad in NYC Times Square – these are
just the examples I can type now. When Rep Peter King attempted to have
hearings on domestic terrorism he was attacked for being racist. No more
excuses. No more apologies. We are in a war of ideological wills, and we shall
prevail. Congratulations to all the law enforcement agencies.

I pray
everyone enjoyed a nice weekend. However, we must all remain vigilant and
resilient. America suffers from a high level of attention deficit disorder and
we become distracted by the sound bite. Let me share with you a favorite axiom
of the Taliban I learned in Afghanistan: “Americans may have watches but we
have the time.”
One
week ago today we were reminded of the savage, calculating barbarism of radical
Islamists. And sadly enough we already have useful idiots seeking apologetic
stances. I humbly request we all do as Sun Tzu stated in “The Art of War” and
know your enemy. Do not fall back into complacency, nor become alarmists, but
become educated on the nature of the 21st century battlefield. Furthermore, as
we go forward, elect leaders, not just empty vessels of rhetoric.

Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev will not be declared an enemy combatant, will be charged in federal
court and read Miranda rights. This is just another example of how we need to
have leaders that are flexible in their comprehension of this 21st Century
battlefield and the application of the rule of law. This battlefield knows no
borders or boundaries and we must develop new processes and procedures in
dealing with American citizens, born and naturalized, who take up arms, not
just overseas, but on American territory against fellow Americans. We have two
previous cases, Carlos Bledsoe and MAJ Nidal Hasan, as examples where both
attacked and killed Americans and soldiers, in the name of violent Islamic
jihad. The rule of law and precedent is vital, however, these actions are treasonous
and when they result in the death of Americans, the harshest penalty must be
pursued. These people should be declared enemy combatants (for intelligence
gathering purposes). They deserve the constitutional rights of a fair trial in
the American court system . . . and then the hangman’s noose.
