CAIR Bullies Retired Army General Critical of Islam Out of West Point Prayer Breakfast…
Chalk another victory up for CAIR.
(WaPo) — Retired Lt. Gen. William Boykin’s scheduled appearance at West Point’s annual prayer breakfaston Feb. 8 triggered protests from religious groups as well as veterans’ organizations.
A statement issued by West Point’s public affairs office Monday evening said that Boykin “has decided to withdraw” and that the academy would search for a replacement.
The outcome underscores the degree of controversy that continues to follow Boykin nearly eight years after he was reprimanded by the Pentagon for violating rules while delivering speeches in uniform that often mocked followers of Islam. In one instance, Boykin, a decorated special forces officer, said he knew that his side would prevail in a fight against a prominent Islamic militant in Somalia because “I knew that my god was bigger than his.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which along with a group calling itself VoteVets.org had asked West Point to retract the invitation to Boykin, welcomed the retired Army officer’s decision.
CAIR’s executive director, Nihad Awad, said the group hopes that “the speaker who replaces him will offer cadets a spiritual message that promotes tolerance and mutual understanding.”

Down the tubes we go
I wonder if HE withdrew, or was he TOLD to withdraw? If he did it on his own, he’s a pussy!
PC madness. We are on the verge of loosing our country. Pray hard and fight.
Doesn’t religious freedom include not being forced to accept a religion you are against? Isn’t being against any religion, islam or satanism, one’s right for religious freedom? He should sue them for denying him his Constitutional rights. CAIR is forcing islam on people who believe in their own religion and have ever right to not accept any other religion including islam.
He no doubt backed out for West Point’s convenience. When he was on Beck’s TV show last week he was on fire and called out Islam for the scam that it is. His visit was epic.
ZIP, is there any way you could get hold of and post that clip with Boykin on GBTV?
You can bet that CAIR had the backing of the DOJ.
They are in constant touch regarding all things “Islamophobic”.
@Rockeman
You are so Right!!!!!!!!!!!
For too long, we have been complacent, and allowed ourselves to be pushed around by liberals, and political correctness. Now is the time to say NO MORE!!
And I do hope and pray that we win back the government of appeasers, and don’t allow our new preesident be a pampers baby!!
Where is Fox News on this? Lets get the real story out to the masses….Come on guys Pick this up.
I’m confused by the PCness of our society. West Point caves to CAIR and some vets website? Why does anyone care what these organizations say? They have no voting block, no real economic impact – all they have is the media’s bullhorn.
I’m actually deaf to all of them
So he said, “I knew that my god was bigger than his.”
Basically, all he did was say what every Muslim believes and states every day. So, by speaking like a Muslim does, he offended Muslims in their circular illogical thinking.
The question left here, is did anyone in the West Point administration ask General Boykin to step aside or was it his own doing after receiving criticism from dhimmis and CAIR.
It is particularly galling to see the oppression of free speech occurring at of all places West Point.
Let’s hope that there are still teachers there that subscribe to what great Generals like Douglas MacArthur did and studied ; IE the teachings of SunTzu and his “Art of War” Book.
“Know your enemy and know him well if you want to defeat him”
CAIR’s executive director, Nihad Awad, said the group hopes that “the speaker who replaces him will offer cadets a spiritual message that promotes tolerance and mutual understanding.”
What hypocrisy! They want a spiritual message but won’t tolerate anything but Islam — they’re just not saying it outright. If CAIR’s Awad et al don’t like living in the midst of a moral, Christian majority here in America, they can go pound sand in the desert.
What “religious groupS”? (plural) That’s a fucking lie.
And votevets.org seems to be a CAIR subsidiary. Check out their website – they’re strutting like a bantam rooster over this “victory.”
This is what happens when the peeps of the U.S. vote a clean ,articulate,muzzie homo for your president
More on votevets.org: “Support Our Candidates!”
Surprisingly, all five are Dems and one is an Emily’s List Honoree.

Recall in 2006, West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center reading list appeared to be more representative of the types of recommended reading issued by Lt. General John R. Vines, the U.S. ground commander in Iraq.
Among other books that minimize or explain away any connection between Islam and violence the site’s library included Chomsky, Schwartz and Esposito among others.
Not a single volume from Ibn Warraq, Bat Ye’Or , Robert Spencer, Emerson, Trifkovic or Pipes.
To quote Hugh Fitzgerald of JihadWatch.org:
Six years ago, it became evident top brass at West Point chose the Chamberlain appeasement model. It appears to have been a great success for Islam.
THERE IS NO TOLERANCE FOR ANY OTHER RELIGION IN ISLAM!!!
If only the dhimmis in the West would take just a little time to understand the teachings of fundamental Islam.
Sadly it appears more and more that they ,their children and grandchildren will have to learn the hard way.
I live in far West Texas. We’re probably too small a venue, but my church men’s group would be most enthusiastic about having General Boykin speak to us!
VoteVets.org: a commie pinko fag islamo moslim org, no vets in it, it’s all obama loving anti-AMERICAN scum.
@Bitterclinger:
What day was he on GBTV? I’ve got to check that out.
I stand with General Boykin.
CAIR needs to lose its tax exempt staus and so should all the labor unions
ALL the armed forces should mutiny at the same time, all together!! All totally abandon posts until Oshitface has been removed from power!! If these non-American mozlem terrorist infiltrators can order this great man to leave a prayer meeting, something major has to be done!
Like I said…North Korea is looking like a better place to live every day.
Even the warriors of our society are giving into the animals of CAIR. The are continually caught lieing and speading propaganda and the eunachs of are society continue to kiss their A**es
This is the result of the politically correct and morally bankrupt leaders of our society.

@Bitterclinger:

January 19. His segment starts at the 45:15 mark. It’s a joint interview with Kevin Freeman, who wrote “Secret Weapon, about economic terrorism.
Tolerance and understanding? Seriously, is that what the Muslim Facists want?
I was a little confused. I thought they wanted to dominate the world – kind of like Hitler did.
When the Muslim crazies quit trying to kill the rest of the world because we won’t kiss Mohammad’s ass, then maybe they will get the tolerance and understanding they so crave.
Since that won’t happen until hell freezes over, you will never get that satisfaction.
What a sad day for America, CAIR in control of our finest military academy. It breaks my heart.
Why not put out the white flag and be done w/it?
Axel, it will take a lot of hard, dirty, and dangerous work to defeat islam. And we will have a hand in that right here at home, looks like.
Thanks a lot, Bitterclinger. Will definitely check it out.
Man, the Weasel Zippers community is the best!
By the way, I need to set Weasel Zippers as my homepage in all my browsers. It’s been Drudge for years, but Drudge showed his true colors last week.
Zippers is much faster at breaking stories anyway… I’ve been promoting the site all around me…
General Boykin is a stand up guy and true American Bad Ass!
Watch some of his You Tube videos and he tells it like it is.
God Bless this man!

@Chaban
what about drudge?
VoteVets.org is what type of veteran organization? A bunch of disgruntled, kool aid sippin idjits that couldn’t make it?
@Fubar:
First, none of the people I truly wanted to see run for President are in the race (Palin, West, Bolton, Mark Levin
… )
Second, I don’t love Newt.
But man, what I saw last week on Drudge just disgusted me to no end…
Since when do we utilize the left’s tactics to destroy an opponent? I thought we were the party of ideas?
Bottom line is… I can’t stand Romney!
Fuckin Bullshit !
The only good muslim is a dead muslim. Boykin is right on.
The sooner we draw the line in the sand against the Islamist cockroaches, the greater our chances of survival.
I’m sure they can get Louis Farrakhan to give the opening Prayer facing Mecca on a Prayer Rug while the Muslim Call of Prayer is blaring out on the loudspeaker.
West Point is bigger or should be than this political correctness nonsense. This is embarrassing to me as a graduate and a soldier. I know Gen Boykin. He knows more about the true face of Islamo Fascism than anyone in our P.C. Government or apparently within the leadership at USMA….And by the way he is totally correct. Shame on you West Point
The point is the carousel of confusion that the ‘courts’ and the ‘law’ are becoming.
These jackasses are so bogged down its despicable. As it always has been all down through history, judges and officials love their robes and their thrones and their power, and the are extremely susceptible to corruption .. vanity, greed, etc.
Lawyers, courts, government … we need to overhaul and simplify a lot of things and bring a lot of people into acquaintance with reality.
Including lawyers and judges.
