Rep.
Saxby Chambliss:
Arrest Every Muslim That Enters Georgia
CounterPunch Wire
The Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) today
wrote to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert asking that Rep. Saxby
Chambliss (R-Ga), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism
and Homeland Security, be removed from his position because of
bigoted anti-Muslim comments at a Nov. 19 meeting with local
Georgia officials. Chambliss told 30 local officials in Valdosta,
Ga., that to combat terrorism a Georgia sheriff could be turned
loose to "arrest every Muslim that comes across the state
line."
ADC President Ziad Asali, wrote to Speaker
Hastert that, in spite of Rep.
Chambliss claims that this remark was a "joke," and
that "if anybody's offended by it, I feel very apologetic
toward them," he should no longer continue as chairman.
"ADC feels that Rep. Chambliss is unfit for the chairmanship
of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security
in light of these comments," Asali wrote, "and we ask
you to removed him from this position. Joking or not, they reveal
a level of insensitivity and intolerance which is completely
inappropriate given the concerns attached to this important position."
Asali's letter to Speaker Hastert points
out that "Having the chair of this crucial House Subcommittee
making remarks of this kind sends the worst possible message
to the Arab-American and Muslim communities in the United States,
to the Arab and Muslim worlds, and to society in general about
the level of intolerance and anti-Muslim bigotry that is considered
acceptable in the U.S. Congress."
"We feel that the important work
of this Subcommittee may well be undermined by the taint of Rep.
Chambliss' outrageously bigoted remarks," Asali concluded.
