The only man in Washington with more than a passing acquaintance to islam. Rep. West has done hos homework and quotes correctly Islamic doctrine. For this, he has been branded with all the usual names and epithets, yet no one shows where he is wrong in the statements he makes. They cannot, as he is just repeating what Islam itself teaches. That is the moral vacuum the left and apologists live in, where it is not important to show where the information is wrong, but to discredit the messenger of that information so that it appears the messenger is the bad guy.
Allen West is one of the few good guys, and I would be proud to see him in the White House.

Congressman Allen West says 9/11 lessons unlearned, sees threat from radical Islam
Congressman Allen West said Wednesday the nation hasn't learned the lessons from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks largely because political correctness is hobbling political leaders from confronting the threat he sees from Islamic extremists.
West, a Republican who represents Broward and Palm Beach counties, made his comments at a Washington, D.C., event at which he hosted the screening of a conservative Christian group's film "Sacrificed Survivors: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mega Mosque."
"My fear is that maybe we could end up forgetting what happened on 9/11 because of certain things like political correctness or this desire to be a multicultural America. But in being a multicultural America, we must never forget the fundamental principles and values that made us great," West said.
"Have we really learned a lesson from 9/11? I don't think we have. I think we are so anxious with this fast food type of mentality that we can quickly move beyond something that were not willing to sit back and really assess what is really happening in and around us," he said.
West said the political correctness intimidates people from saying what he believes is true about Islam.
"If we continue down this road, as I call it multiculturalism on steroids, then we're going to present a gap by which we can get exploited time and time again. So I think that we have to start kind of like in baseball the umpire calls a ball a ball and a strike as strike and it's time that we start calling some strikes out there."
"I am not sitting up here and condemning people who call themselves Muslims," West said. "Now is the time we have to challenge this ideology. If we are to peacefully coexist they have to come into the 21st Century and push aside a lot of these 7th Century ideas they still hold."
West said he thinks that makes Islam a particular threat.
"We have to understand that the major religions of the world, Judaism and Christianity did go through reformations. Now when you look at this next major religion, I call it a theocratic political construct ideology, they need to go through a reform of the process as well.
"Ever since Muhammad left Mecca and took his Hijrah to Medina there was a violent turn to this faith that is called Islam. And we must confront that and we must understand that….
"We have to continue to challenge them. Because once again if we continue to give and give and cede and cede and give ground we're not going to be respected."
He said potentially dangerous elements are using America's freedoms in a way that ultimately will undermine the country and those freedoms. "There is something that is the anathema of what we believe in that is using our constitutional rights and freedoms, that is using the First Amendment to try to get within this country and try to establish a foothold and take this country down."
West said the nation is "very blessed that we have not had a catastrophic event," since Sept. 11. He said that isn't for lack of trying by those who would pose a threat, such as the bombing in Times Square and the Christmas Day shoe bombing.
