Audio: Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin Slams Dearborn, Michigan's Muslim Population
Over the weekend, Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin (retired) was interviewed on a radio program (audio below) out of Bakersfield, California ahead of a scheduled appearance at a local church to discuss his anti-Islam conspiracy theories.
During the interview, Lieutenant General Boykin warned listeners that every serious Muslim was determined to enshrine Sharia law wherever they lived and that they were making great progress in establishing it in America.
This prompted one of the co-hosts to ask Lieutenant General Boykin about Dearborn, Michigan which he claimed was "almost one hundred percent Muslim and operating under Sharia law now."
Lieutenant General Boykin agreed: "If you walk down the streets, you would think you were in Beirut or Damascus."

This Lt. General needs to be
This Lt. General needs to be fired by President Obama for spreading lies about Sharia Law and how it is applicable in the US just as other religious law for Catholics and Jews is applicable to adherents of those religions, as well as for promoting hate speech. There needs to be zero tolerance for this man's bigotry.
Alas, this man is retired
Alas, this man is retired from the military. Maybe they can cut his pension to shut him down?
Unfortunately, the military
Unfortunately, the military cannot impose any sanctions unless they discover that he broke the law while on active duty. This, however, is unlikely.
He has the constitutional right to be a hateful bigoted ass, and we have the right to remind him exactly what he is.
I left the USMC just before desert storm and I was lucky enough not to be called back to duty. However, the anti-muslim hate that had been whipped up in the armed services back then was at a near fevered pitch. My understanding after 9/11 was that it only got worse. This man is reflecting back attitudes that are all too common in today's military.

I live in Michigan and have been to Dearborn many times... this guy is full of it!
