Well, I won’t say I don’t take religion into account when I’m sizing up a candidate, but it’s only one of many things I look at. All things being the same, I’d vote for an atheist (not “new” atheist) before I’d vote for a Muslim or a “Christian” cult member, since the atheist is probably just skeptical, while the other two categories are either gullible or not critical thinkers.
“Id vote for an atheist (not new atheist) before Id vote for a Muslim or a Christian cult member, since the atheist is probably just skeptical, while the other two categories are either gullible or not critical thinkers.”
a) True Christians aren’t cult members (define that, please), and b) Muslims (at least fundamentalist, devout ones) are much, MUCH more than “gullible or not critical thinkers”!
Learn the Koran and their Prophet’s commands - to convert, subjugate or kill ALL “Infidels” (non-Muslims) until Islam and Sharia law reign supreme over the entire world. No exceptions, no reasoning. An apostate (any Muslim who leaves the “faith”) is to be executed. Lying whenever necessary (Taqiyya) to further their cause is also encouraged.
Contrary to what all our politically correct, ignorant or cowered politicians and media figures say, these are not the beliefs of “fringe, radical” Islam. They are the beliefs of true Islam, set forth by Muhammad.
It behooves everyone to get educated quickly on this. There are many great experts to read or listen to - Brigitte Gabriel, Steve Emerson, Jed Babbin, Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, to name ja few. Most of them have to travel with bodyguards and/or employ full-time security.
So much for the “religion of peace”.
