Topic: General harrassed into withdrawing from West Point prayer breakfast

[Pandora]

A retired U.S. lieutenant general who made comments some consider disparaging to Islam withdrew Monday from speaking at a West Point prayer breakfast after a progressive veterans’ advocacy group — VoteVets.org — along with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) asked the Army chief of staff to rescind the invitation.

Last week The Blaze reported VoteVets.org told Gen. Raymond Odierno in a letter that allowing retired Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin to speak at West Point next week would be anathema to Army values and disrespectful to Muslim cadets.

According to the Associate Press, late Monday afternoon, West Point issued a statement saying Boykin had decided to withdraw speaking at the Feb. 8 event and that another speaker would take his place.

For its part, CAIR is celebrating the outcome.

“We welcome Mr. Boykin’s withdrawal from this event and hope that the speaker who replaces him will offer cadets a spiritual message that promotes tolerance and mutual understanding,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a press release.

" Mr. Boykin's withdrawal " ? Not referring to him as "General Boykin" shows a distinct lack of respect ... from this pack of Islamic scum .

"disrespectful to Muslim cadets"

Therein lies the problem...we should not have any of this cultist filth in our military, period!

Might as well open up to Godless ChiCom's, Peyote-munching natives and whatever other underrepresented deviants lurking about!

Apparently, we already have.  From the comments:

Well people, if you ever needed a really good indication of just how screwed we are as a country, take a look at what was once our finest military institution, which is now transforming into a politically correct sanctuary for Muslims, and the stink of evil that always follows. Oh, and over at the Air Force Academy, they have pagans and witches openly hosting ceremonies on base…….so, not much hope to be found for the future there either.

Damn, I forgot about Colorado Springs!  I do recall that story now.

We are doomed, we should be taking to the streets any day now...

We're not doomed but we do have our work cut out for us.

  Why would he ever even consider backing out? He can't have much of a religious background. This comparing apples and cantaloupes  Christians and muslims?

Apparently, he does.  From the link:

Boykin, an ordained minister who speaks around the country ...

He knows exactly what he's talking about -- the politically incorrect Truth.
