What’s the next-best thing to paying a bunch of ex-terrorists to speak out against terrorism? Paying a bunch of Focus on the Family/CBN christopaths to pose as terrorists and, as long as they’re in the neighborhood, spread an anti-Islamic message. Wait, it gets better. These bogus bozos, named Walid Shoebat, Kamal Saleem, who are US citizens, and Zacharia Anani were inserted into the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs on February 6th to speak at their 50th Annual Academy Assembly. Here’s what columnist and Islamic expert Reza Aslan has to say about it: The selection by the Air Force Academy of these speakers was criticized by both the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Why? Because it turns out these guys are not ex-terrorists at all but—wait for it—fundamentalist Christians posing as ex-terrorists. Their fervently anti-Islamic message, in which all Muslims are labeled as radicals, is a prelude to a testimony about how accepting Jesus into their hearts and becoming born again saved them from a life of terrorism. So it comes as no surprise that if the Air Force Academy can be fooled (unless they were willing accomplices in this piece of institutionalized bigotry, but they still believe in them to this day) by these idiots, it couldn’t have been a greater feat to fool other peckerheads such as Pajamas Pammy at Atlas Shrugs, who met Shoebat back in 2006 and thought he was the greatest thing since falafel sticks. No word, yet, on what the Marine Corps thinks about this, considering that also in 2006 the Corps had officially opened an Islamic prayer center at their base in Quantico, Virginia. So, when Moe, Larry and Curly, these buddies of Pat Robertson and Jimmy Dobson, get paid handsomely to spread the Good Word about the evils of Mohammed by posing as former PLO terrorists, they’re also slandering the 4000 Muslim-Americans that are estimated to be serving in our nation’s armed forces as well as the memory of the countless military and civilian victims of those who had been killed by the real thing, including the 3000 victims of September 11th. In the interests of fairness, it ought to be said the Air Force Academy, to its credit, will give equal time to three critics of these frauds on April 6th. The trio of speakers will include Mikey Weinstein, head of the aforementioned Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Mr. Aslan and Joe Wilson IV. Five weeks before the event, there’s no way to tell how large the assemblage will be but is it paranoid to assume that the turnout won’t be as large as the original event because the Academy’s officials won’t publicize it? Indeed, the Air Force Academy, which has been in Mikey Weinstein’s crosshairs for years on account of its evangelizing and open anti-Semitism, is claiming the Weinstein/Aslan/Wilson event had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the wave of criticism that followed the Shoebat/Saleem/Anani panel. Strictly coincidence, we’re told. Like everything else having to do with this batshit insane administration and the christopaths who love them and the Good Word more than doing their fucking jobs, like the recently-resigned Danny Boy Cooper, for instance. Far from supporting the troops, the administration and even the military and VA themselves would rather resort to trickery, bigotry, and proselytizing than standing by military personnel of all religious faiths and making sure they get timely medical care after they’re wounded in combat.
