Allen West: Anti-Sharia Law Crusader

Former congressman and Fox News contributor Allen West went to Walmart and thought he was the victim of “Sharia law”.  Let’s hear what happened in his own words from his own blog in a post that was originally titled “Sharia Law Comes To Walmart” (ominous music):

My daughter Aubrey and I arrived in Dallas and our home in Woodbridge on Sunday morning. We had departed from Palm Beach Gardens Saturday evening after we watched Austen head off for her senior prom — a doggone big deal, dads!

Back in Dallas, after we unloaded the U-Haul, Aubrey, a very organized young lady, began the initial arranging of her room. And then came the request — “Dad, I know you haven’t been eating well here, so we need to go grocery shopping.” Dang it! This is what happens when your daughter is pursuing a Masters in Molecular/Cellular Biology. So we were off to the local Walmart Superstore just up the road. We gathered up her desired foodstuffs and headed to the checkout — and then this happened.

The line was really long and they only had 3 checkout stations open?  Cuz that’s what happens to me sometimes and — doggone it — it really steams me.

There was a young man doing the checkout and another Walmart employee came over and put up a sign, “No alcohol products in this lane.” So being the inquisitive fella I am, I used my additional set of eyes — glasses — to see the young checkout man’s name. Let me just say it was NOT “Steve.”

Allen, it’s okay to say the person’s first name.  Having a Muslim-sounding first name isn’t a bad thing.

I pointed the sign out to Aubrey and her response was a simple question, how is it that this Muslim employee could refuse service to customers based on his religious beliefs, but Christians are being forced to participate in specific events contrary to their religious beliefs?

Boy howdy, that is one astute young lady.

Imagine that, this employee at Walmart refused to just scan a bottle or container of an alcoholic beverage — and that is acceptable. A Christian business owner declines to participate or provide service to a specific event — a gay wedding — which contradicts their faith, and the State crushes them.

Boy howdy, is she astute enough to know that her dad talks like a hick?

But let’s turn to the issue at hand… you know, it does seem like a contradiction.  Hmmmm….. I wonder if there is some other reason why this “young man” could not sell you alcohol…..

Anyway, Allen uses the incident as a launching point to discuss how Muslims have an “anger management issue” and how the left is cowardly, and that’s why sharia law is creeping into our land everywhere…. like Walmart.  He then goes on to rail about some Iraqi Christian nun named Diana Momeka who was denied a US visa (except that she wasn’t denied a visa after all, but Allen didn’t realize that).

But I’ve passed over the best part — planted right in the middle of the post right after Allen’s enchanting Walmart-Sharia story:

EDITOR’S UPDATE: We spoke to the Walmart store, and apparently employees under 21 years old are prohibited from selling cigarettes and alcohol. However, that isn’t to say Walmart isn’t selectively caving to Muslim demands…

So…. basically, the underage Walmart employee couldn’t sell alcohol because he was underage, not because he was Muslim.  Underage selling of alcohol is prohibited in virtually every state in the Union.

So this means that Allen West was the victim of….. American law (ominous music) that has been around for decades.
