Johnson’s also appeared as a host on Iowa’s ‘Mickelson in the Morning’ radio program to express his thoughts on Islam:
“I never call it radical Islam, if anything, it is obedient Islam. It is faithful Islam. Just in the same way that we talk about nominal Christians — and we never say that as a compliment — you’re either a faithful and committed Christian, committed to the teachings and the writings of the laws and profits and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, or you’re just kind of wishy-washy.”
“What the media, and sadly too many people in our camp, the Republican Party, want to refer to as militant or radical Islam, they’re simply being obedient, aren’t they? Islam is not our friend. I agree with Dinesh D’Souza, your friend and mine, who says all that Islam has ever given us is oil and dead bodies over the last millennia and a half. It is not a religion of peace.”
Feedback, Consequences, and More
Although one could argue that Johnson made valid points, this apparently did not matter to Homeland Security.
