On purging Muslims from the military

The following is from an interview on Veterans Day with Tennessee Republican state representative Rick Womick at an “anti-sharia” conference in Madison, Tennessee.

Question: What about the thousands of Muslims that are still in the military that are veterans, that are translators, that are active personnel. Is there some sort of policy solution that you’re advocating? […]

Womick: Personally, I don’t trust one Muslim in our military because they’re commanded to lie to us through the term called Taqiyya. And if they truly are a devout Muslim, and follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they’re commanded to kill me.

Question: You believe they should be forced out?

Womick: Absolutely, yeah.

Here are the graves of two Muslim soldiers who were “purged” from the military.
