Update: CAIR Applauds West Point Prayer Breakfast Withdrawal of General Critical of Islam

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.
Awad added that CAIR has been challenging Boykin’s “un-American bigotry” for a number of years.
From The Blaze’s earlier report:
Retired Lt. Gen. William Boykin was the Pentagon’s senior military intelligence official until 2004, when he was reprimanded for remarks comparing the war against radical Islam to a Christian struggle against Satan and for saying Muslims worship idols and not “a real God,” according to the Washington Post. He has also said he believes no mosques should be built in America and has called Islam “a totalitarian way of life.”
Boykin, an ordained minister who speaks around the country, was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at a West Point prayer breakfast.
Boykin, who had at one point issued a written statement apologizing for past comments, said he didn’t mean to insult Islam. But VoteVets.org said Monday that Boykin has continued to make denigrating comments about Islam since his 2007 retirement.
“These remarks are incompatible with the Army values, and a person who is incompatible with Army values should not address the cadets of the United States Military Academy,” VoteVets chairman Jon Soltz said in a letter written with the group’s vice chairman.
West Point’s Lt. Col. Sherri Reed said cadets are “purposefully exposed to different perspectives and cultures” during their four years at the academy.
According to AP, Reed issued a statement earlier Monday noting that Christian, Jewish and Muslim cadets would be participating in the prayer breakfast, and that she was confident Boykin’s speech would “be in keeping with the broad range of ideas normally considered by our cadets.”
CAIR had asked West Point officials to retract Boykin’s invitation:
“It gives Islamophobes a platform at the nation’s most prestigious military academy. And I doubt that they would invite a KKK speaker and claim that they want to expose the students to a variety of opinions,” said Awad.
Boykin didn’t return a call from AP seeking comment.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

democrat or republican establishment are the same. For those who don’t know who the establishment is…it is people dependent upon the financing of the bureaucracy and the regulations it builds, or whom recieve favor. thier sole interest is government growth.
the establishment hates ron paul because his interest is its elimination. the establishment is afraid of newt because contrary to the slander out there he was a friend of reagans and ACTUALLY did take on entrenchment in dc as speaker. the establishment fears him. the establishment hates santorium because he is a moral man, smart and loyal to his country. now sarah has started to fall from favor because she will not sit in the corner and do what she is told.
on jan 2014 the us will go into default in the first quarter. talk to well informed local officials anywhere in the us and they can tell you. the curruption of the beltway establishment is the real cult. the last thing they want is people that want to do something, that is why they continue to fight the tea party.

Since you don’t know what a cult is:
the word cult in current popular usage usually refers to a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre.
The word was first used in the early 17th century denoting homage paid to a divinity and derived from the French culte or Latin cultus, ‘worship’, from cult-, ‘inhabited, cultivated, worshipped,’ from the verb colere, ‘care, cultivation’.
New religion? the Catholic Church was started by Jesus with Peter as it’s head.
I assume you are non-denom…so what does that make your church 10, 15 years old?
The Catholic Church is Biblical and Historical fact from the time of Christ.

Islam (and not just the “radical”) promotes coercion of the infidel. It’s supposed “tolerance” is abrogated in their later “holy” verses. Don’t even call it a “relgion.” It does not deserve religious protections. It is a political ideolgy like Communism or Fascism motivated by religoius fervor.

Way to support that vet, votevet.
I could care less what cair thinks. Thr “r” stands for radicals. I do not agree with his comments but he likely stepped down because he was asked to do so by some still serving around or above his rank thus allowing cair to take credit for it but also preventing further smearing of our military. Votevet had no business being involved. There are other veteran groups out there more suited to handle media than that group. Perhaps it was a Chaplain who asked.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 4:15pmThis is the first time I have decided to comment. What has been done is a disgrace to our military, and General Odierno should be ashamed. The cadets must be made aware of the threat posed by CAIR and its minions. They are using our Constitutional freedoms to destroy our country from within. This must be stopped.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 4:16pmAs a Christian I recognize that the traditions of the islamic forefathers have blinded each successive generation from the truth, I pray for their enlightenment but in no way disregard the danger they pose. They are not a cult though, it is an organized religion with the devil at the helm. The various middle-east rulers just use islam as a scapegoat for their own atrocities upon their own people by blaming western (sadly I must say, lack thereof) culture.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 4:03amAnother example of the left uniting with Islam against our way of life. They are intolerant of any point of view other than the one they promote. Freedom of speech is under attack and has been for some time now. They like to use the tactics of intimidation, verbal assaults, infiltration, and perversion of our values. They know how to use our laws and freedoms against us. And we have been too tolerant of their manipulation. This is how the incident with Nadal Hassan was allowed to happen. Even as it was first reported that Hassan had murdered and wounded scores of people in the name of ‘Allah’, Obama was whimpering that ‘we must not hastily jump to any conclusions until we know the facts’ POS!!!!

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 8:55amThey can’t “handle the skin off the ears” anymore. I spent six years trying to get into the school (didn’t get in for class of 2014), and finally got in last summer. Cadet basic was incredibly dumbed-down, and I felt not the slightest bit stressed. I spent a year at military school in high school and it was much more demanding.
Everything there was incredibly PC. We weren’t even allowed to sing the fun cadences because they were “offensive”. The Army has been headed down the wrong path due to the political climate. Because of this and other things, I decided to leave my dream of the military altogether. I reasoned that being in the military would put me in the worst position possible for myself and to help others when TSHTF, as there is no liberty in the military lifestyle.
I should have felt the opposite. I should be able to feel that the military is going to be our greatest asset when TSHTF. While its individual members may still be incredibly instumental, the organizations themselves will be too tied to politics to defend the Constitution as their oath states.
Gentlemen, we will have to defend ourselves with only the help of each other should the time come.

If you don’t do what i told you your not missing much. but it is an education. here is something to ponder. the page program (high school interns) ends this month. They had to end it because of the excessive sexual assualts of congress persons on kids and staff members. The hush money paid out by the committees was no longer something they could hide. almost all rapes were same sex. Visit DC, but not as a tourist and you will find out.
Another fun fact. debates have to be held in areas with a relitively easy access for prostitution. the kicker is that this is not done for politicians but rather the media that follows them. that is why portland oregon got chosen for a site. certainly not for republicans living there.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 12:06amLt. Gen. Boykin is apparently one of the very few in America who is telling the truth about Islam – all of Islam. Even the conservatives in the USA make distinctions between groups of Moslems, but the truth is, anyone who follows the Koran is, by definition of the laws in the religion, a follower of a homicidal, suicidal, barbaric cult. Islam should have no place in any western country. Make no mistake about this: the followers of Mohamed are in this war to the end. They have no tolerance for any other religion. It is theirs of die. Please, Americans, listen to what Boykin is saying. It is the simple and pure truth.
