I understand why though; it’s the thought that the federal government can protect us from evil, even evil religions, and can reasonably distinguish between good and bad religion.
I’m betting most of them have never had to work with a muslim, may not know any muslims, certainly would never vote for a muslim. A few think all muslims should be thrown out of the military, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone here at FR thinks muslims should be thrown out of the country.
Meanwhile, we just nominated a muslim in virginia for a state delegate race. And yes, some people opposed him because he was muslim (he wasn’t in my district, so I was just an observer).
But the real problem here at FR isn’t that some people want to argue about the danger of islam — that’s just good discussion. It’s that you can’t actually DISCUSS it, because as soon as you try, they just call you names and act as if merely considering the subject is a sign of evil.

It AMAZES me that people would fall in love with Islam, just to protect their candidate...
When you come to the realization that the 1st Amendment, in fact, the entire BOR/Constitution are not suicide pacts, let us know. Until then, be content knowing that there are Americans on this forum and in this country who will work to keep the evil of Islam from spreading in any way, shape and form.
If you were to take the time to read history, the Koran and even the very words of Muslims publicly and openly admitting that they are using these “centers’ and school curriculum to ‘conquer from within’ you might hold a different view. Until then, you appear very much the Dhimmi.
Perry does in fact have good points. His muslim associations, like those of EVERY candidate must be thoroughly vetted. Or do you prefer we have ANOTHER muslim appeaser leading the country?
