Iowa LEO Fired for Islamophobia

As predicted earlier, the career of Dan Charleston, until recently a deputy sergeant in the Polk County, Iowa Sheriff’s Office, is toast. He committed an inexcusable thought crime by acknowledging the obvious threat posed by Islam:

Charleston has faced a number of controversies during his time at the sheriff’s office. Most recently, he was under internal investigation by the sheriff’s office for Facebook posts made in early June regarding Islam, including one post that called the religion an “evil ideology.”

One post showed a graphic that claimed to list “verses from the Quran that inspire terrorists.” Charleston added his own comments to accompany the graphic, including: “No reasoning with this evil ideology,” referring to Islam.

That post had been deleted as of Thursday morning, but another post on Charleston’s Facebook was a quote claiming to warn about the “threat of Islam.” The quote was attributed to Franklin Graham, a nationally known Christian evangelist.

When quoting a highly respected evangelist endangers your job, you are living in scary times.

How can law enforcement officers defend us from Muslim terror attacks when they are required to pretend that Islam is not a threat?

I wonder if the dhimmis who made Charleston walk the plank think they will be singled out for mercy as Muslim violence continues to escalate.
