“Oh he understands but he reneged on the issue after pressure for Cair and other Muslim organizations.....he shouldn’t have....by doing so he showed he will not be direct about this threat if he gets the Presidency. “
Either you understand basic principals or you don’t...and we both agree he understands Islam.
AFTER you get elected is the time to put that into practice. If he tries doing that now, he’ll be relegated to a Ron Paul type-wing of the party - a nice circus act, but nowhere near fit for the top job.
So we may disagree here...but I look at raw politics too.
“WHat????.....You better “hope” Cain intends to clear them out of Washington not hire them on. We already know there are Muslims working in our Gov. who are directly tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. We don’t need to add to their population in our government.....are you forgetting the Islam in our country is political Islam??? “
You do have a point. But in the political world, he’ll probably have to bring some in...but I’m not worried about them having any critical role, or access to classified information to pass to their buddies overseas. Since he understands Islam, he’ll (hopefully) give them jobs in Utah, or somewhere, working in Forestry.
I understand political moves...which is what Cains apology was about. I’m not convinced he understands the Islamic threat.....or how much he would compromise with what he does know.
The fact you have mentioned him not taking a direct stand on this also indicates we are in serious trouble when our politicians cannot or will not tell it like it is.
Col. West has been very clear, and without apology, where he stands on Islam....not just terroists...but Islam itself and he does not bend....yet he still won his election.
You need to be worried and not brush this off as not happening....they are IN our Government and they do pass information. Muslims will and do put pressure on one another...”for the sake of Islam”....no matter how “moderate” they may appear to us or each other.
And no he won’t be sending them “out there” somewhere. Again the fact they are already in our governement ...and they need to be rooted out not appeased.
“You need to be worried and not brush this off as not happening...”
I really don’t think I need to be anymore worried about Islam than I already am.
But you certainly need to look at this from a raw politics standpoint. To put it simply, it does ZERO GOOD to be right on Islam, but then fail to get elected. Maybe a few more people get the message, but future politicians will be SCARED TO DEATH to then deal with it.
“I understand political moves...which is what Cains apology was about. I’m not convinced he understands the Islamic threat.....or how much he would compromise with what he does know.”
I’m about done for tonight, so I’ll just say this. If you want a presidential candidate as outspoken as you wish on these types of issues, you’ll get another Alan Keyes, and he’ll do just as well as Keyes. So that’s it for me on this topic. Catch you on some later stuff.
