He understands islam just fine. I've never heard him say once that "islam is a religion of peace".
I remember him advocating (and voting for) crushing the Taliban gov't that allowed terrorist attacks to be planned and launched from Afghanistan.
I remember him criticizing idiotic invasions and occupations of muslim nations that didn't pose a threat to us, thus radicalizing tens of millions of muzzies.
I remember him pointing out the stupidity of destroying muslim infrastructure and then rebuilding it, time after time.
I believe he is totally against things Bush did, like starting the program that imports muslims from terrorist-supporting countries into the US, or leaving the borders wide open to anyone who wants to walk across, which leaves this nation open to attack from inside.
I think he knows that muzzies are like primitive, stupid and dangerous animals - the ones not bothering you, you leave alone. The ones that do attack you, you pound mercilessly, time and time again as required, until they finally learn to associate the terrorist attacks they launch with death and destruction of themselves, their families and neighbors, along with their possessions and other property.
In other words, I think he believes in going back to the policies that western civilization used to keep the cancer of islam in check in the period between when islam was driven out of europe in the 1400's to when the west empowered muslims by sending them trillions of dollars in oil money and allowed them complete access to our technology, education and very nations.
Blaming America for Al Qaida attacks is as bad or worse.

Yes, but you left something out, didn't you? Or maybe, like so many of his supporters, you never even considered it.
Ron Paul has been saying for years that the authorization that allowed us to go into Iraq was unconstitutional, but in 2001 he voted for an authorization that had every single flaw he's cited as unconstitutional or was even worse. Heck, the 2001 authorization didn't even mention Al Qaida or Afghanistan, but he voted for it.
This guy's just a Beltway gameplayer. He calls other GOP members enemies of the Constitution because they voted for OIF, but when the chips were down he voted the same way to save his butt. If he had voted against the authorization, even his district wouldn't have tolerated it.
Ron Paul is a poser. When you RP supporters are mystified as to why he doesn't have more support on FR, that's your answer...we can smell the BS. He's just Newt Gingrich with libertarian flavor, another beltway insider who runs to the head of the movement to declare himself the only viable leader.
I think he knows that muzzies are like primitive, stupid and dangerous animals - the ones not bothering you, you leave alone.
Which is why he thinks it's no big deal if a "primitive, stupid and dangerous animal" like Ahmadinejad has a nuclear arsenal at his disposal. Yeah, he really understands radical Islam.
