According to Bob Franken, former CNN and current at large liberal pundit,” It was a common thought among people of good will: Please, please don’t let those responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings be Muslims. Unfortunately, it seems that those who carried out the savage attacks were Muslims, giving the people of ill will a chance to renew the intolerant attacks of their own.”

“Allen West, that purveyor of malignant demagoguery who was mercifully turned out of Congress by the voters, is trying to revive his career on a platform of extremism. Boston gave him another opportunity: “Let me be very clear,” he wrote on Facebook. “The terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America.”

To Franken, “people of good will” are those who wanted the bombings in Boston last week to have been perpetrated by ANYONE other than Muslims. Yes, that’s HIS definition of “people of good will.”

Franken also believe that “people of ILL will are those who accept the TRUTH.

Ltc. Allen West certainly doesn’t need ME to defend him. FACTS and TRUTH are squarely on West’s side here and trust me, you don’t need to read each individual item on the list. Feel free to scroll down through it while noting it’s immense size and scope.

Well, well…

It seems that no matter where in the world you look…ISLAMIC TERRORISM IS ON THE RISE but, according to Bob Franken…WE HAVE AN ALLEN WEST PROBLEM!!!

My friend Adam Wilhoit strikes the nail squarely on the head.

“Should we ignore the motivations of Islamic radicals like Rashad Riddle, who yelled, “The will of Allah — this is the will of God,” during the murder of his father who was exiting an Easter Sunday church service in Ashtabula, OH just a few weeks ago? Or should we downplay the Islamic ties of Yusuf Ibrahim who beheaded two Christian Coptic immigrants in Buena Vista, NJ in February? These communities just might want to examine the shared motivations in order to prevent – to put it in plain terms – future terrorist murders by Christian Haters.”

Bob Franken goes on to state: “All the anger we feel is far more appropriately turned on the politicians and commentators who make narrow-mindedness a part of their repertoire. Instead of rewarding them, we need to shun them, to stand up to their slurs or, even better, to ignore them. They are not worthy of our attention. As participants in public debates, they are worthless and need to be dismissed.”

Given the long list above, it is NOT narrow mindedness to suspect that the bombings in Boston or other such terrorist actions are tied to Islamists. It is PRUDENT. It’s NOT jumping to conclusions rather, it is historically based thinking.

Allen West is 100% correct.

We have an Islamist terrorist problem in the United States and no amount of thinking, with a mind so wide open that one’s brains spill out, is going to change that.

To ignore the clear and present danger posed by Islamists in our country or any other and to “shun” those who are adept enough to point it out is the same as inviting more OF it to our soil. We are in a precarious position. We can either pretend it doesn’t exist and be so politically correct that the death, destruction and maiming of our own becomes more than common place or, we can confront it head on.

Jihad is not a figment of the imaginations of those Franken labels as “people of ill will…”It is a REALITY of those with evil in their hearts and the destruction of the West on their minds. Franken’s “people of GOOD will” simply choose to ignore that reality in the hopes that it will either disappear of not affect them directly.

That’s not “good will,”…That’s delusional.

To Bob Franken, woeful misguided socialist that he is, people like Allen West and those of us who see the reality of the world in which we live are intolerant, “purveyors of malignant demagoguery” because OUR “good will” comes to an abrupt halt where groups or individuals ascribing to the ideology of those groups trying to kill us are concerned.

To Franken, it is NOT the Islamist Jihadist who is the “extremist” it is those of us willing to stand in their way who are the “extremists,” and what Franken and his ilk can’t comprehend, due…No doubt…To some mental disorder, is that those Jihadiosts  and Islamists to whom they so graciously extend their “good will…” want them just as dead as they want me and Adam Wilhoit and Allen West.

Yes…MENTAL DISORDER…Because it is  Franken and his ilk, the oh-so-politically-correct left, that will welcome Jidadists into our country and excuse their act of terrorism and mass murder but won’t tolerate an 8 year old school boy who gnaws his Pop Tart into a shape loosely resembling a gun.

Allen West said, “The terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America.”

Bob Franken is far more concerned with America’s Pop Tart problem.

You tell ME who the extremist is.
