Guess what our boss did today;

Obama and Janet Napolitano appointed Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).

NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant...? Just wondering.

Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn't this make you feel safer already? That should make our homeland much safer, huh?

Was is not "Devout Muslim men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings 9 years ago? Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood?

Checked this on Snopes.com and its TRUE!

snopes.com: Muslims Appointed to Department of Homeland Security?

Do you feel safer? I know I do. I am sure SBS does also.

My hope is that, in my lifetime, people will wake TF!! up. This country is out of control. I'm a Vietnam era Vet and I actually used to love my country.

Now, it just pisses me off!!!!!

I might need to take that back a bit...

Here's the skinny on Alikhan:

Arif Alikhan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DHS | Assistant Secretary for Policy Development: Arif Alikhan

Since it's HS Policy Development - does that make a difference? I suppose the Muslim perspective is important in that capacity.

I think after a bit more education and some eye-opening there will be not many people who like him.

The skinny? Not really, he is a very educated devout Muslim. I suppose that makes it OK.
