Michigan Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema is under fire this week for a controversial Facebook post, questioning the contribution of Muslims in American society. Agema, in a Facebook communication dated January 9, shared with his followers a piece comparing Catholics to Muslims.

The Muslims of Cricklewood
Muslim Brotherhood Fights On From Cricklewood


See the article in The Telegraph here.
Cricklewood — why is the Musliim Brotherhood allowed to operate there, or anywhere? In a well-ordered state, all such organizations would be outlawed. And why are there now millions of Muslims in the midst of London and Great Britain? What is the fantastic cost, to teach such people the English language, to provide them with free health care and free education, and then to spend billions on security — needed to guard airports and airplanes, bus terminals and railroad stations, government offices and symbolic structures, churches and synagogues and Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh temples — and against terrorist groups and groupuscules, and individuals, especially those psychically and socially marginal who are the converts, and whose numbers, especially in prisons and on the mean streets, grow and grow. For such mental and emotional misfits find the Ready-Made Brotherhood of Islam, and the Simple Explanation of the Universe that Islam provides an Answer. But these converts, who hew to the texts of Islam, and mainly to the Qur’an (but without understanding about 20% of it — incomprehensible even to native speakers of Arabic, and of course unaware of naskh, or the doctrine of abrogation, and if, as they realize more what Islam is all about, they do not leave, horrified, but choose to remain with this new and exciting identity that now makes them so special in their own eyes, sets them apart, gives them new words to learn and new articles of clothing (if they are women) to wear — oh, it’s exciting, and you do not notice what you have to pay by way of tax, which is a permanently muddled brain, with conspiracy-theories, and constant crazed attempts to defend or explain way the texts and tenets of Islam (rightly understood), and you behave no differently from the members of a cult (see Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, still wearing her black chador, still unable to throw off those lendings and the mental lendings too that her murderous husband had her wear, and that she apparently cannot give up).
How many tens or hundreds of thousands of converts — especially among black gang members finding a cult that takes them in, and justifies their attitudes and behavior — are being made, and adding to the burden, of the police, the courts, the security services at every level. But no one in the British government demands that the country cease to take in Muslims, conduct a campagin of counter-dawa to immunize the most vulnerable populations, to show what Islam teaches and what the spread of Islam has meant for non-Muslim peoples, over time and through space, everywhere, without exception.
Cricklewood used to be the subject of running jokes by the humorist Alan Coren. He was able to make fun of all sorts of clowns — see The Collected Bulletins of Idi Amin, which first appeared in Punch. But the Muslim Brotherhood in Cricklewood, as in Cairo, is no laughing matter.
