DuPage Muslims invite Walsh for ‘enlightenment’
By Robert Sanchez
A Lombard Republican who became the first Muslim elected to a partisan office in DuPage County is hoping to “enlighten” Congressman Joe Walsh after his “radical Islam” comments (Muslims are very optimistic people - Joe, of course, and MOST politicians would be stunned to learn that there are Muslims in America who are VERY much involved with local politics - this, truly, has always been the immigrants way to power - cf - the Irish in NYC, Boston, Chicago, etc, etc, etc).
Moon Khan said that he and other area Muslims plan to meet Friday night with Walsh “to showcase the diversity of the Muslims that the congressman is certainly unfamiliar with (Joe always knows what he nose, so, please, don't confuse him wid duh fax) .”
Walsh, who says he plans to attend the meeting at Khan’s home (let's give Joe full credit here, he planned to attend and he attended), wants to hear from anyone who has questions or concerns about the remarks he made earlier this month (he's makin' a list, checkin' it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice).
“I want to explain what my thoughts are,” the McHenry Republican said. “We may get to the point where we agree to disagree (having met Joe, face to face, AND been kicked out of one of his local meetings - allegedly for being intoxicated, and THIS was a time when I really LIKED the guy, a whole hell of a lot better than Melissa (kissa duh assah duh corporations - whom she once advised, and whom were ass-toot enough to retain her husband when the Canadian Rail road was lobbying to run its trains through our fair (yet unbalanced), quaint (and yet blighted), little (albeit the zip code has a population in excess of 45,000) town (but, it's a village). But at least talking about it is helpful (Joe is doing this, I suggest, solely for the pub - the publicity with his most rabid, hard core right-wingnut jobs - the ones who characterized one of the finest civil servants our community ever had, the sadly too-soon departed Mark Beaubien, as a RINO - Republican In Name Only).”
The controversy started when Walsh, during a town-hall meeting in Elk Grove Village warned, “There is a radical stream of Islam in this country, not just over there, that are trying to kill Americans. It is a real threat. It’s in Elk Grove, it’s in Addison, it’s in Elgin. (Shiver me timbers, not since the days of Saint Joe (Tail-gunner) McCarthy have we heard such accusations!)”
On Thursday, Walsh said he has no intention of backtracking from those remarks (feeding the base red meat - REAL men, REAL republicans, NEVER back track from a "politically incorrect" point of view, bowing to mamby pamby liberal bleatings - REALL men say what they mean, mean what they say, and make sure they pay off their wife the back aliminoy and chlid support BEFORE the opposition party can get her to do TESTIMONIALS).
“There is a real threat in this country, and it does come from a radical strain of Islam,” said Walsh, who is a member of the Committee on Homeland Security. “Having said that, the vast, vast majority of Muslim Americans in this country are peace-loving, patriotic Americans (there must always exist, however, the likelihood that some of there relatives back in the middle east will be murdered by drone aircraft guided by 19-year old "warriors" in Nevada - perhpaps during a wedding celebration, or perhaps from collateral damage, or that a cousin will get raped by a U.S. troop, who will then decide he must murder her, murder her familiy, burn down the house, hopefully to burn up the bodies so they won't be able to report his war crime - this, of course, happens ... HELL, U.S. FEMALE troops are warned that they dare not go shower or to the toilet alone because this increases the likelihood of their being raped ... sometimes by a commanding officer ... war doth make animals of it participants, it has always been this; it will always be so). So both of those things need to be said Joe gonna try to have his cake and eat it too - eat excresence and die, mudder fudder Joe - you fear-mongering, smear-mongering, WORTHLESS piece of detritus).”
Khan, who describes himself as “a hard-core Republican (Practitioners of Islam tend to be VERY conservative, and come from patriarchal societies - it was always stunning to me, in the mosque, during a shared meal, to talk politics and find out how many hard core George W Bush fans there were among them - especially the muslims from India),” said Muslims in Illinois are upset about the “very intense remarks” made by Walsh, who is in a tight race for control of the 8th Congressional District against Democrat Tammy Duckworth (OH - calling Tammy Duckworth - here's a novel suggestion for you - why don't you GO TO MOSQUES throughout your district and visit during Sunday School hours (typically 11 am - 12:30 pm on SUNDAYS) and take the opportunity to MEET Muslims in their houses of worship, TALK with Muslims, LISTEN to their concerns, READ the posters on their wall, LEARN how PROUD they are to be American Citizens, and how proud they are that their faith is in consonance with the principles of DEMOCRACY (tragically, DEMOCRACY in the USA is not entirely a reality, especially not for poor people, especially not for the unemployed, for women, for people of color, etc etc etc, for political prisoners (yes, we have 'em)).
“It looks like he is not familiar with the Muslim community at all — definitely not the Muslim community of his district,” Khan said (LOOKS LIKE, I'd say it SOUNDS LIKE - Joe is not really familiar with too much at all, except how to ingratiate himself to you, initially, but then, successful used car salesmen and date rapists and child molesters have these skill sets too, although, PULL EASE - I am not accusing Joe of being any of these).
Walsh said he called Khan after learning the former York Township trustee was concerned. The congressman is the one who suggested that Friday’s meeting take place (I'm going to suggest that Joe already KNEW what he was going to say, already KNEW it would be controversial, and already had calculated that he needs to stir up his base, light that fire under the seat of their pants to get them to come out and vote - where, he is likely to miss the mark, I think, is that at least some of those who voted for him in 2010 (count me among their number) have looked closely at the Party of NO, and understand that they are not helping their fellow citizens who may not be able to afford to BE republicans in the first place!). He also plans to meet with other Muslim leaders in other suburbs.
By meeting with Walsh, area Muslims are trying “to gather stones that have been thrown at them by the congressman and turn them into milestones of tolerance,” (this is rather a lovely metaphor - Arabic is a language of great beauty and poetry, nowehre is this better exemplified than in the Koran: you must take my word for this: Muslims are a very poetic people, of great gentleness, kindness, and forgiveness) Khan said.
Khan said he also wants to let residents know that local Republicans are “open minded, committed to diversity and do not harbor any animosity toward the Muslim Americans (In this hope, brother Khan may grow to be very disillusioned).”
Looking to expand beyond their traditional base of conservative whites, DuPage Republicans in 2005 recruited Khan to run for township trustee. He served in that elected position for about seven years. He also has been a Republican precinct committeeman for a decade (Joe didn't know this - I better not one Republican in 10 would have even suspected that a muslim had been elected AS A REPUBLICAN AND served his community for seven years AND was a precinct captain -- Republicans tend not to get out too much ... well, now, maybe they know ... they will still be VERY frightened of the Muslims that come into contact with, most likely, because, many Muslims in America have dark skin, and brown eyes, and sometimes speak with a British accent ... and, face it, many white people are basically TERRIFIED of brown, black, yellow, and red people -- SOMETIMES even terrified of OTH"ER white people, especially when they hold the opinions and attitudes that I hold!!!).
“I know firsthand that the local Republican Party leaders do not agree with him (Walsh) on this point,” Khan said. “I worked with all these people. They never showed any disrespect for the Muslim community of Illinois (because they are, thank the Lord, in general, MUCH smarter, and more sophisticated than Joe - but, JOE grew up in Barrington, Illinois, and, pretty much, "we knows what we knows, don't cornfuse us wid duh fax (as my original father figure mentor, Gene Mendoza, the Choctaw Indian caddie master and cart maintainer at Barrington Hills Country Club always used to say - to put down powerful white men).”
But Walsh, a Tea Partyer, stressed that he doesn’t believe his comments were controversial, adding that he’s made similar remarks “a number of times” since being elected (WELL JOE - they probably have not always been reported - now you know, and boy, you are in some kind of shit storm of an order and magnitude you can not even BEGIN to comprehend).
“There’s no effort to malign a religion or malign a people,” he said. “But this is a threat, and it’s real. And it needs to be dealt with (this threat, from Muslims in America Plotting to do us wrong, is all in Joe's feeble head - the threat is the ignorance of politicians, such as Joe Walsh, and other ignorant folks like him, who "know what dey know, and will not stand to be moved by the facts").”
At the time of Walsh’s initial remarks on radical Islam, a Duckworth spokesman said they “demonstrate yet again why he is not fit to hold public office (oh, hell, Tammy, he's PERFECTLY FIT to hold office, he managed to figure out a way to unseat a three-term US House member with a $1,000,000 treasure chest - he went out, shook hands, weasled his way into the hearts and minds of voters fully fed up with Melissa Bean - TAMMY - you damn near beat Peter Ros-Scam, which, I THINK COULD BE DONE by a sentient life form - BUT, sadly, the democratic party does not have many of these running, and the ones that DO run, well, they don't get the support of the party of corporate whores who are willing to toss SOME scaps off the table to feed the hungry, as opposed to the Republicans, who would rather let the hungry fight it out amongst them selves, possible even selling body parts for cash).” On Thursday, Walsh attributed the backlash to politics (Bull shit Joe - the backlash is entirely attributable to YOUR REMARKS which were published in a local paper that is delivered to and READ by Muslims - Joe, thank the Lord, you are your own worst enemy, and man, you are one formidable enemy!).
“That’s just an effort to keep me silent,” Walsh said. “What’s irresponsible is for any member of the government to ignore a threat to the security of the American people.
(Actually, Joe, what's irresponsible is for you to make these remarks in front of witnesses that might take the time to put them into the news papers - AFTER ALL, it really IS news when a sitting member of Congress, who is on the homeland security council tells us that even as we sleep, terrified of losing our jobs, our insurance, or coming down with a grave illness, or the financial state of our parents, who ought to be in a nursing home, it IS news when said congress-critter alleges that there is an extant threat RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US!)”
