This is the full text of what Sheriff Tracy Murphree wrote on Facebook Monday night:
Pay attention to what you see in Manchester England tonight. Pay attention to what is happening in Europe. This is what happens when you disarm your citizens. When you open your borders without the proper vetting. When you allow political correctness to dictate how you respond to an enemy that wants to kill you. When you allow these radicals to travel to Afghanistan and Iran and simply let them back in. When you give up your city’s and your neighborhoods to a religious ideology that says you must convert or die. A ideology that treats women as property, kills gays and women and christians with complete impunity. The left tells us we must submit and accept these radical beliefs and bend over backwards to make sure we don’t hurt anybody’s feelings. The left wants to cater to the very group that would kill every group they claim to support. Folks this is an enemy hell bent on killing you. Committed to forcing you to convert or die. This enemy will strap bombs to their own body and blow themselves up killing children. I’m sick of it. You better wake up America. While you are distracted by the media and the crying of the left, Islamic Jihadist are among us and want to kill you. What will it take? This happening at a concert in Dallas or a school in Denton County? If we don’t do something quick this country will die of political correctness and the fear that someone’s feelings may be hurt. It may very well be to late for Europe.
What in what he said was wrong? Every bot of it is demonstrably true and confirmed by daily headlines. But in an indication of how brainwashed people are these days, the first comment at Facebook says: “I’ll pay attention to the bigger threat here at home from ARMED, WHITE ‘patriots’ that act like children. Grow up Sir… Not surprised you are from Texas. The sphincter of the United States.” The idea that “armed, white ‘patriots'” pose a bigger threat than jihadis is a myth of the establishment media that has been exploded by reality.
Meanwhile, Hamas-linked CAIR is enraged at Sheriff Murphree, which is extremely odd, since ostensibly CAIR is a “moderate” group that rejects all the acts committed by Muslims that Murphree enumerates as “extremism” stemming from a “hijacking” of the Islamic faith. Isn’t Hamas-linked CAIR against saying “convert or die” to infidels, and treating women as property, and killing gays and women and Christians with impunity? Apparently not.
“Denton sheriff defends Facebook post after Manchester attack,” by Ryan Osborne, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, May 23, 2017 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
A North Texas sheriff who criticized “the left” and “political correctness” in a Facebook post after Monday’s terror attack in Manchester, England, defended his comments Tuesday.
“I stand behind it,” Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree told NBC 5. “We need to be realistic about the world we live in.”
The Manchester bombing, which happened at the end of an Ariana Grande concert, left at least 22 dead, including an 8-year-old girl. Manchester police identified the bomber as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, a British native who died in the attack.
Murphree’s Facebook post about 10 p.m. Monday implored Americans to “pay attention to what is happening in Europe.”
“This is what happens when you disarm your citizens,” Murphree wrote. “When you open your borders without the proper vetting. When you allow political correctness to dictate how you respond to an enemy that wants to kill you. When you allow these radicals to travel to Afghanistan and Iran and simply let them back in.”
Murphree’s supporters praised him for “speaking and standing up for the truth,” as one comment said, while his critics accused him of fearmongering and ignorance.
The Dallas-Fort Worth chapter for the Council for Islamic Relations issued a news release calling Murphree’s post an “Islamaphobic rant.”
“We call on Sheriff Murphree to reaffirm his pledge, and that of his officers, to serve and protect all Denton County residents regardless of their faith, ethnicity or national origin,” CAIR-DFW Civil Rights Director Nikiya Natale said in a statement.
In his interview with NBC 5, Murphree said, “A lot of folks want to make it a race issue. And to me, it’s not a race issue. It’s a public safety issue.”…

I find it encouraging as well. When anyone within Government seems to understand what is happening, it is a good sign. One must understand the problem in order to deal with it.
Anybody who can not correctly troubleshoot problems, will certainly never solve them.
Don Foss says
Meanwhile, the 9th Circuit and Leftist judges have been successful at undermining our government’s most basic responsibility and are putting Americans at greater risk.

Sheriff Murphree, good for you, straight and honest.

Super! I love Texas and I love this sheriff’s attitude and that he’s not afraid to speak what so many feel but are afraid to say because they fear the same people who killed Seth Rich. I wish every liberal in the state would leave immediately! California has a great welfare system, I’ve heard. Go over there!
TL says
Facebook?? Why are right wingers so stubbornly devoted to using it? No one needs Facebook but its creditors and grubbing investors. Let it go. Abandon it to the kiddies, and move on.
Bill says
Especially since FaceBook is just another leftist/globalist propaganda organ.
Time for some competition in that space.
Walter Sieruk says
This means that as Americans we should and must remember that for the United States to continue as a great power in the world in spite of the current threats of the Islamic terrorism by jihadist /Muslim terrorists who are operatives of ISIS, Al Qaeda and other jihadists of other similar jihad terror entities. Americans then should have Vigilance, Conviction and, of course, Fortitude. As one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.” and “A conviction that we are right accomplishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong.” Likewise, Mr. Jefferson had also stated “Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.” So in other words we , as Americans ,should have learned keep moving on strongly with Vigilance, Conviction and Fortitude.
Diane Harvey says
Since Muslims and the left are in combat with the truth, it’s unsurprising that they would claim outrage about what he said. But all of it was factual.
AnneM says
Telling it just like it is.
underbed cat says
Thank you Sheriff Murphree… you have done some research, and that is all that is needed for Sheriffs across the country…and the truth can undo years of the misinformation campaign. MB operatives and clueless are determined to present a peaceful picture to a doctrine that the moderate and radical muslims otherwise know as terrorist know exists but have silenced many leaders and media to disclose. The non disclosure is very clever and ingenious doctrine written 1400 years ago, so a deception
about it can proceed as it is considered slandering of hurting the movement…it has worked and only disclosure can stop it’s powerful cooperation of influence.
Danforth says
How utterly refreshing!! The truth of radical Islamic terrorism is slowly being voiced to the West by those who understand the reality of the current situation and have a public platform.
We have to take it one step further. Who will say Islam is a false ideology foisted on the followers of a false prophet? It will take a brave person indeed.
Just because a billion+ believe it doesn’t make it true.
underbed cat says
The folk singers may be aghast at the truthful information……may even ridicule those who are undertaking to expose the deception that only facts can reveal no matter how pretty sounding songs carry home a place for bad doctrine, it uses darwah and jihad commands found in doctrine, verses which are not peaceful and call to slay non-believers and are music/art/ life/ adverse as it practices dar islam house of war.
Lynne says
He of all people (a sheriff) knows. At least the States has some smart, honest individuals telling the truth.
blitz2b says
CAIR should be renamed
Custodians of American Islamic Radicals
When will the Trump administration put this jihadists harboring organization our of its misery. These ignoramuses are against everything America stands for so how and why are they still allowed to spout their nonsense?
blitz2b says
Spot on sheriff Murphee…
Now if every sheriff of every county in the United States grew a pair and exposed the evil that is Islam we would send Muslims running for the hills. Instead with the assistance of the Islam pandering left, Muslims have become bold and demanding. We cannot even speak the truth about Islam’s atrocities before the leftist bodyguards of this insidious ideology jump down our thrusts even before it’s adherents do.

Good for him. And good for Denton County.
I’ve been there. Met some nice people from Denton County. Didn’t get to meet him, however.
ByGeorge says
“I think the greatest thing we can do is just unite, and love on each other… no barriers, no borders, we all need to just coexist.”…Katy Perry’s response to the Manchester bombing that killed 22 innocent people that stands as another example of a really stupid person with a public microphone mouthing out an inane statement in hopes that the alligator will eat her last.
The really big problem is our western political leaders who would have us believe, on the threat of imprisonment for harboring hateful thoughts against violent muslims jihadists because, they assert, that Islam is a religion of peace. These politicians deny the true facts about Islam and/or refuse to believe them and so we are forced to go along to get along, our personal beliefs be damned. The result will be more Manchester’s, Brussels, Paris’s, Nice’s, San Bernardino’s and Orlando’s, Islamic attacks ready to go on line. We are being killed off by political correctness, a total failure to acknowledge who the enemy is and what motivates them. It’s an open book!
Those youngsters, and parents waiting for them who were blown to bits by one deranged jihadists had no grief with the other people around them. If they had, they still were not accompanied by murderous intent toward the others. People were there simply to enjoy the Ariana Grande concert, do their jobs or collect their children when the show was over. Only one man couldn’t get along with his neighbors because his mind was twisted by the wicked, evil marching orders found only in the pages of the Koran, words justifying the deaths of others because Allah demands it.
This Manchester Jihadist attack was not senseless nor mindless. It was ordained. It’s all written in the pages of the Koran. Allah is perfect and his word is perfection. How does a decadent western infidel reform perfection? When our politicians can answer that question we might finally have an answer for Katy Perry. Naw, that won’t happen. Islam means submission. For us decadent infidels, that means we either submit or fight as the only answer left.
Coexistence is a word not found in the Muslim vocabulary. They hate anything not justified in the pages of the Koran. They fill their followers heads with a poisonous nonsense, a hate that leaves them only with an uncontrollable rage fed by the mere presence of non believers in their midsts that triggers a willingness to die while taking infidels with him. How do we fight suicided’s as a weapon?
In his speech to the attendees at the Arab Islamic American Conference President Trump attended Monday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Trumps answer to ISIS was “Drive them out, Drive them out, Drive them out.” Prophetic words indeed, a day later. These words will fall on deaf ears in the the UK, Germany, Belgium and France. They have all but been overrun by Islam. Englishmen in their own country are hostages to a foreign philosophy slowly asserting itself as the prime mover of societal change in the once proud British society.
When will Teressa May and the British people, not the imported rag heads who claim to be British, finally say “enough is enough, already” and recognize that “East is East and West is West and never the twain will meet?”
Germany is worse off. Angela Merkel has told the Germans to “get used to it” Immigration and all the evil it brings with it is here to stay. How can you fight idiocy like that? It’s coming to America as well folks, as long as we stay committed to a coexistence with evil.
Mirit says
Hi,
I live in Israel . We started suffering suicide bombers about 20 years ago. After 4 years we went to war and cleared the enemy’s terrorist infrastructure. Today we have good intelligence and many terror acts are prevented. We have no trouble recognizing our enemy. We have a leftist problem with changing laws.
Fighting terror takes cooperation. You need the police, the Army and the Justice system to be targeted against terror. There is one thing that people in Israel cannot say. Deport them. Deport them to Jordan. This is the best solution. Everything else will not do the job. You cannot coexist with terrorists.
Shmooviyet says
Thank you to @Jirit and @ByGeorge for excellent comments.
Thank God for JW, for opening so many eyes and continuing to spell out the dangers we face.
Savvy Kafir says
I agree. There really is no other solution. As long as Muslims live among us, there will be terrorist attacks — and the danger of really massive, disruptive attacks, such as nukes, biological weapons attacks, etc.
But even more worrying is the Demographic Jihad, which, if allowed to continue, will eventually bring about the demise of Israel, Europe, the U.S., & the rest of the civilized world.
When more people on the political left (and I’m a Lefty myself) begin to understand the threat that Islam poses to civilized societies, maybe it will be possible to deport the Allah junkies. I just hope that will happen before it’s too late to save ourselves.
Don Foss says
It’s not just the attacks that have been successful. Think of all those that have been thwarted. We ARE under attack.
gravenimage says
Agreed, MIrit. Am Yisrael Chai!
Tom says
We need more leaders like the good sheriff who are willing to stand up and face the tide of political correctness head on with the safety and security of Americans as his focus.
Norger says
Good for you Sheriff. Stick to your guns, literally and metaphorically.
I am so tired of hearing about that white supremacists or white radicals supposedly pose an equivalent threat. To be sure, there are white rascists who are violent (e.g. Dylan Roof; the whack job who murdered the Sikhs in their temple) but the scope and magnitude of the threat posed by “white radicals” is not even remotely comparable to the threat posed by “radical Muslims.
Over1000 open ISIS investigations in all 50 states, over 40 jihadist plots foiled since 9/11, and a grossly disproportionate “body count” from 9/11 onward (Islamic terrorists have killed over 62 people for every one person killed by a “white extremist” since 9/11). If you added people injured or maimed to the count (10,000 from 9/11 alone) the mayhem becomes even more one-sided. And when you factor in demographics (i.e. Muslims make up 1% of our population versus what, at least 10% for “conservative” whites) the comparative dangers posed by those two groups become even readily apparent. Islamic terrorists are exponentially more dangerous than”white extremists by any objective measure.
Unfortunately I fear there will be a “dirty bomb” or biological attack in one of our cities some day, that will cause massive casualties. And I seriously the perpetrator will be a “radical white terrorist.”
Norger says
I meant I seriously doubt the perpetrator will be a white extremist.
Terry says
At the time of the Boston Marathon bombings, (this has been on JW-with the name of the commentator) who said that he “hopes the bomber(s) were white males”.
They were white Muslim males. And Rolling Stone and asshole liberals made the survivor a rock star hero.
Norger says
True that. The Tsaernaev brothers were quite literally Caucasian, but I have a feeling those tallying “white extremist” terror acts don’t count the Boston Marathon bombing.
gravenimage says
True, Terry.
Shmooviyet says
Note the stupidly childish personal-attack response.
“Not surprised you are from Texas” etc.
The sheriff tells the truth, and the tolerance crowd hits back with spitballs. Soon will come the busloads with their “We heart Muslims” signs.
Savvy Kafir says
The proper response is to laugh when CAIR & their ilk are “outraged” by some comment or cartoon or whatever. Revel in it. Rub their noses in it. Let them know that we stand by those comments & cartoons, books & films etc.
It’s time to let ALL Muslims know that we just don’t give a damn when their hair-trigger sensibilities are offended by honest opinions regarding them & their savage religion, and the threat it poses to everything we cherish. Time to take them down a notch or two, in terms of their feelings of superiority & entitlement — rather than feeding into those feelings by apologizing & kowtowing like a bunch of unprincipled cowards.
I’m so glad Sheriff Murphree stood behind his obvious, factual statement, rather than backing down to the professional whiners of CAIR.
rich says
“We call on Sheriff Murphree to reaffirm his pledge, and that of his officers, to serve and protect all Denton County residents regardless of their faith, ethnicity or national origin,” CAIR-DFW Civil Rights Director Nikiya Natale said in a statement.”
Why does he have to do that? When did he say his officers weren’t going to serve and protect all Denton County residents regardless of their faith, ethnicity, or national origin?
Terry says
Rich- that was what I was going to say- where does the Sheriff say that he and his deputies WILL NOT PROTECT INNOCENT MUSLIMS?
I read it twice-did not see the words-no Muslims will be protected.
Jim says
Rich and Terry, you don’t get it! CAIR wants the rights of PRACTICING Muslims protected. Meaning, the right to jihad, and the rest of Sharia!
IQ al Rassooli says
Muslims cannot EVER be MODERATE since they abide by their god Allah’s Sharia which has NO Moderation.
Hence, according to Sharia, every single Muslim is the Eternal and Mortal ENEMY of every human being who is NOT a Muslim; 80% of current humanity.
Muslims consider every non Muslim a KAFIR/ Infidel who has ONLY three choices in life: To CONVERT to Islam; to SUBMIT to Sharia or to be EXTERMINATED.
NOTHING about Muslims and Islam is DIFFICULT to understand the instant any intelligent and rational human being LEARNS about Muslims by reading literally ONLY chapters 2 to 9 (no need for the other 106 chapters) to realize the EXISTENTIAL threat Muslims pose to all of us UNBELIEVERS the moment any of them, male or female decide they are NOT FULLY Sharia compliant, he or she become instant mass murdering Jihadis
I would like very much to have CAIR debate me on TV and prove a single item I have above as either untrue, wrong or misleading

There is nothing more hurtful than simple truth. Cocktail of truth is more explosive and devastating than all jihadis bombs.

The people against him will never change their minds even when they find out he’s correct by that time people die and Muslims get away with murder all because of political correctness, a plague upon our land.

Cunamarra says
Now what CAIR statement says is “We call on Sheriff Murphree to reaffirm his pledge, and that of his officers, to serve and protect all Denton County residents regardless of their faith…”
But what i read is
“We call on Sheriff Murphree to reaffirm his pledge, and that of his officers, to serve and protect all Denton County residents regardless if their faith mandates warfare against you or inspires them to strap bombs to their own body and blow themselves up killing children, or teaches its followers to be hell bent on killing you and committed to forcing you to convert or die, or live in misery, or cultivates a culture that produces men willing to groom your daughters to be sex slaves… AND condition yourselves and your children to count these abominations and all the other abominations of Islam as blessings and benefits brought to you courtesy of the Religion of Peace”
gravenimage says
Yes–the idea that the sheriff would protect Muslims is grotesque–unless CAIR is asserting that all Muslims are violent Jihadists…

Jihadis are among us! They are American and European citizens!

Hessie L. Harris says
The sheriff is right. There has been terrorism here both reported and unreported as well as other crimes similar to what has been happening in Europe. They are fewer in number because of the 2nd Amendment.
If anyone had any doubts, the situation is Europe explains Obama’s thorough frustration that he could not repeal the 2nd amendment through a gun control executive action.

Everything Sheriff Murphree said was accurate.

And he was brave and principled to say it.

I am sure CAIR knows this site…
Perhaps you, CAIR, would like to explain to us why you don’t like what Mr. Murphree wrote..
It is decently written out, wants our country to be smart and protect it’s law abiding citizen’s, and all law abiding people here…
So, what is the problem?
