Zelenik Issues Statement on Proposed Islamic Center

Posted: 2010-06-24 by VoteLouAnn.com

Murfreesboro--Sixth District Congressional Candidate Lou Ann Zelenik has issued a statement about the proposed Islamic Center in Murfreesboro.

 

 

Let there be no mistake, Lou Ann stands with everyone who is opposed to the idea of an Islamic training center being built in our community.  This "Islamic Center" is not part of a religious movement; it is a political movement designed to fracture the moral and political foundation of Middle Tennessee.

We Americans pride ourselves on being a tolerant people, but tolerance does not require naivete.  Our nation is at war with Islamic extremists.  Radical Muslims are killing our servicemen and servicewomen every day.  They say they want to kill us, and time and again they have backed up their words with action.

Yes, we are tolerant, but our nation was founded on the tenets of the Judeo-Christian tradition; we have a right to defend that tradition.  Until the American Muslim community find it in their hearts to separate themselves from their evil, radical counterparts, to condemn those who want to destroy our civilization and will fight against them, we are not obligated to open our society to any of them.

There are those in our society who bow before the throne of political correctness, as if it itself were the god that would save our country.  Those people live in a fantasy world that never was and never will be.   Those who cower in silence are equally wrong.  The People of Rutherford County all need to stand together and say, "enough is enough."

As Martin Luther King said, "in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends," so let us not be silent.  Stand strong for our God, our families, and our country.  God bless you all.

Primary Issues

  • Spending and the Expansion of Government - Federal government spending has gotten out of control and as a result we are saddling our children and future generations with unsustainable amounts of debt.
  • Healthcare - The U.S healthcare system is the best in the world, and it is vital that we not only continue to keep it the best but work to increase access to it so every American can receive the care they need.
  • Energy Independence & Our Environment - The taxes and radical environmental policies of the Democratic leadership are breaking the backs of working families and the businesses that employee them.
