Tea Party Leader Mark Williams: Allah is a 'Monkey God'
After calling Allah a “monkey-god” and Muslims “animals of allah,” chairman of Tea Party Express Mark Williams shouldn’t be allowed in public without wearing his Klan uniform. TPMMuckraker reports the incendiary words that Williams posted on his blog, which contained this most offensive passage:
The animals of allah for whom any day is a great day for a massacre are drooling over the positive response that they are getting from New York City officials over a proposal to build a 13 story monument to the 9/11 Muslims who hijacked those 4 airliners.
The monument would consist of a Mosque for the worship of the terrorists’ monkey-god and a “cultural center” to propagandize for the extermination of all things not approved by their cult.
Moreover, Williams also posted an nonsensical image depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a swastika atop his head.
Despite his unabashed hate-mongering, Tea Party Express didn’t find it necessary to denounce Williams as member Joe Wierzbicki told TPMmuckraker: “It doesn’t have anything to do with the Tea Party Express and the issues addressed by the tea party movement, and was written on Mr. William’s personal blog, and not on any Tea Party Express website, blog or social networking page.”
But Mr. Wierzbicki, by failing to condemn Williams’ remarks, the Tea Party Express and by extension, the tea party movement, is complicit to hate speech and Islamophobia. But that’s the point, isn’t it?
