The Washington Post’s sensitive editorial board writes it is “prejudicial” for a GOP candidate to judge the catastrophic record created by the 1,200-year-old Islamic ideology.
The editorial’s headline, “Prejudice is on full display in the GOP presidential race,” was initially aimed at the two leading GOP candidates, outsiders Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson.
Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson’s comment that a Muslim should not be president betrayed appalling ignorance of the U.S Constitution and a fundamental misunderstanding of what this country is about. As disturbing is that his comments follow closely on the failure of another candidate, Donald Trump, to challenge the anti-Muslim animus of a supporter. It’s a sad moment for the Republican Party when two of its top contenders for president think it is acceptable, even admirable, to promote bigotry — and when so few of their rivals have the guts to condemn their prejudice.In fact, Carson said what is obvious to the vast majority of Americans — that a person who embraces Islamic ideas should not be president. The Post’s diatribe actually quoted Carson’s plain-language statement in the editorial without recognizing this obvious focus on Islam’s ideas; “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” Carson said.
Carson had to explain this obvious idea to fingers-in-ears progressives. “If someone has a Muslim background, and they’re willing to reject [major Islamic] tenets and to accept the way of life that we have, and clearly will swear to place our Constitution above their religion, then of course they will be considered infidels and heretics, but at least I would then be quite willing to support them,” Carson told Fox

These people are lunatic! We are war with this ideology. If these people want to commit suicide just do it! Don’t drag me with you!
But questioning Christianity’s 2,015 year-old ideas is OK?
Liberals who go insane over any religious (Christian) connation with anything, rush to embrace a 7th century death cult and all it’s mayhem.
As opposed to their lack of defense of Romney and his religion?
No sale
It’s a matter of record whatever they did or didn’t do last time a Catholic tried to get to the White House (Giuliani doesn’t count)
Well, then, I can only conclude that the Post believes it’s prejudicial to judge the Klan’s 150 year-old ideas.
They Post is confounding “prejudice” with self-preservation.
Intentionally, too, I believe.
The compost needs to address the 2000 years of Christianity. Our country was founded on Christian concepts.
I wonder if the times were around back in the day if they would label the byzantines as the same in their 800 year war with Islam. Oh, they can’t do that as they are no longer around, funny how that works out.
Apparently some people aren’t going to wake up until their heads are rolling around on the ground.
Good Lord, Man, have you friggin' idiots lost all perspective or is your head permanently placed where the sun doesn't shine???!!!
Blaming the problem of islamic violence on the “prejudice” of non-moslems rather than on the written doctrine of Islam shows the Washington Post to be fools.
The Wapo is our enemy as well as militant Islam. They are tag-team partners.
Why can’t these buffoons take their money and buddies and go to one of these sh_thole countries and implement their policies there and leave us alone?
Back in the late 1970’s when I first heard the phrase “Non-Judgmental Communication” I saw it as a first step toward “1984” style totalitarianism.
But at the time I didn’t think the fourth estate would voluntarily become such willing promoters and participants in those trends.
These people act like failures from the Rio Linda 4th grade. They are truly morons, so devoted to an anti-american ideology that they will gladly sacrifice the lives of millions upon millions in their stupidity, themselves included, since Sharia law needs no "Free Press" to sustain itself.
They should give sharia a try at the WaPo. Probably 85% of their staff would be beheaded right way. The rest would be begging to pay the jizya. The Washington Islamic Post.
They will realize their peril, but by the time they run and hide behind the true Patriots and Heroes of this country and ask for us to save them it will be too late for us all I am afraid.
Which is one of many reasons I recently turned my life over to Jesus Christ. For any one who has not, may I suggest you consider doing so.
Sorry if my post sounds ominous, I just want to be prepared for any eventuality.
They probably are not too shy to say things about the even older bible.
This is political correctness run amok.
Now that you have done that, how about believing in what He believes in. And that isn’t just to sit stone faced and arms crossed waiting for the apocalypse.
If every member of nominal Christendom actually evangelized with sincerity, we might see a faith revolution here quite shortly.
