“…. It turns out, folks, they [Muslims] are here, they’re among us. We are at war with Islam. I don’t tolerate people who are not tolerant.” It was also reported that Torres said that he “wants America’s mosques and Imams to openly condemn terrorists’ actions.”

Rick Torres is running in the GOP primary for the 4th Congressional District in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Given the adverse comments by Connecticut CAIR Chapter head, Mongi Dhaoudi about Torres’ recent anti-Muslim comments in a primary debate, Torres is a real hero to former Muslims and all Americans concerned about Islamization of America. An Islamization abetted by the Obama Administration outreach to the Muslim ummah both here and abroad. Dhaoudi , in an MND article by Jim Khouri :

.. . called on state Republican leaders to repudiate what [he] termed “intolerant statements” made by Bridgeport Republican Town Committee Chairman Rick Torres.

Torres was alleged to have said:

“…. It turns out, folks, they [Muslims] are here, they’re among us. We are at war with Islam. I don’t tolerate people who are not tolerant.” It was also reported that Torres said that he “wants America’s mosques and Imams to openly condemn terrorists’ actions.”

Dhaoudi, the Connecticut CAIR Chapter leader said in response:

“Rick Torres is completely out of touch with reality and contradicts statements made by his party’s own leaders”. Presidents Bush and Obama have both said America is not at war with Islam, and local and national media outlets have frequently reported on the strong American Muslim repudiation of terror.”

That is the kind of taqiyyah we would expect from Mr. Dhaoudi, a minion of CAIR. CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood front , one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the 2008 federal Dallas Holy Land Foundation trial and conviction of the Muslim charity leader who funneled $12 million to a designated foreign terrorist group, Hamas.

Torres comes about his opposition to the totalitarian doctrine of Islam from his family experience in Cuba. Note this from the MND article:

Torres was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1959. His father, Juan, a Cuban immigrant and a political activist whose radio program had been shut down by the Batista regime, welcomed the Cuban Revolution. In 1961, Juan took his family back to Cuba to help Castro lead his native land out of tyranny – or so he thought. It took Juan only a couple of months to become disillusioned with the communist dictator, and another 5 years to secure permission to leave Cuba again. In 1967, Rick and his brother were brought back to Bridgeport – with not much more than the clothes on their backs.

Perhaps Former Muslims United (FMU) should give Rick Torres an assist by sending Mr. Dhaoudi, one of the FMU Freedom Pledge letters asking him and his CAIR chapter leaders to abjure death Fatwas against apostates. If the Connecticut CAIR Chapter doesn’t respond, their non-response might be used by Torres to embarrass 4th CD incumbent Democrat Jim Himes, if Himes doesn’t pipe up to support former Muslims’ human rights. Bravo to Rick Torres. We hope he wins the GOP primary to contend against Himes in the upcoming November election. Given his family’s experience, he has personal knowledge of Ideological tyranny and violations of human rights . Something we doubt Democratic Congressman and Obama supporter Jim Himes does.
