Muslims discover Ron Paul (Anti-Zionists encouraged to register republican and send Paul money)
WordPress.com ^ | November 18, 2007 | mariahussain

After the Republican debate on Tuesday evening in Dearborn, Mich., a reporter from the Arab-American News asked Ron Paul what he thought of the term “Islamic fascism.”

“It’s a false term to make people think we’re fighting Hitler,” Paul responded. “It’s war propaganda designed to generate fear so that the war has to be spread.”

The call has gone out to all the Muslim Americans to hurry up and register to vote Republican so that they can vote in the Republican Primary to support Ron Paul, the anti-interventionist, non-isolationist candidate for President of the United States. Muslims are opening their wallets and joining teaparty07.com as well.

An anonymous Ron Paul supporter posted the following message on the internet: “Muslims and Americans have an unique window of opportunity for the 2008 election. There is a candidate running as a Republican that would work to completely cut off the funding to Israel, remove ALL US troops from Arab lands, and repeal the Patriot Act. He’s a Republican with Libertarian views named Ron Paul. Ron Paul’s policies ranging from monetary to foreign are top notch. Till now Muslims and Americans have not had an American Presidential candidate that really suited their best interests. This election is unique in that we have a man running as a Republican that speaks the truth…We know the current policies in the Middle East are failing, not only making it less safe in the world but hurting and killing innocent Muslims, which our media callously calls collateral damage. It is our duty as Muslims to follow the truth regardless of how futile it may seem. Ron Paul is the only candidate that does not seem to be swayed by the influential lobbies that the other candidates are catering to.”

Ron Paul stood up in Congress in 2006 and opposed a resolution that sided with Israel in the Lebanon-Israel conflict. He stated the following.

Ron Paul: “Mr. Speaker, I follow a policy in foreign affairs called non-interventionism. I do not believe we are making the United States more secure when we involve ourselves in conflicts overseas. The Constitution really doesn’t authorize us to be the policemen of the world, much less to favor one side over another in foreign conflicts. It is very clear, reading this resolution objectively, that all the terrorists are on one side and all the victims and the innocents are on the other side. I find this unfair, particularly considering the significantly higher number of civilian casualties among Lebanese civilians. I would rather advocate neutrality rather than picking sides, which is what this resolution does.”

Ron Paul has also sponsored a bill to overturn the Patriot Act. He is one of the few members of Congress from either of the major houses that is speaking rationally about these issues. How can we get everyone, and I mean everyone, to join the Ron Paul Republican voter sign-up campaign?

There is general frustration with politicians these days, and the unwillingness to believe that supporting a particular candidate will make a difference. But whether Ron Paul wins or loses, ronpaul.meetup.com is a great way to meet your neighbors who are against the war and organize the community on a grassroots level. If something like Katrina ever happened to us, knowing our neighbors could mean the difference between life and death to our families.

The common thread I’ve been reading lately about leftists and Jews is that they are having trouble getting more than a dozen people to come to their stuff (whether anti-Zionist or Zionist). The anti-Israel movement is not moving forward, because “protest Zionist imperialism” is just not a catchy slogan. By contrast, there are over 400 RP activists against war taxes in Boston alone. Every day the list of passionate anti-war activists grows. Very few of them agree with every single RP position, they just want to get the Lobby out of the way and pull the troops out of Iraq.

One reason it’s working is because of the software. They made the ronpaul.meetup.com site almost like a dating site, where you can make friends with people in or near your zip code. They made it very easy to get together with new people to join the activism. You can’t beat technology, may as well use it.

In the event that RP actually won the election and got the Hamas treatment, his supporters are fully in support of the Right to Bear Arms. It would be interesting to see what followed.

If anti-war protesters want to continue to focus on the genocidal machinations of the global zionist-imperialist military, industrial, financial, political, neoliberal, media complex, they have to be willing to meet with anyone any time to hear what ideas people have to address this, which is our primary responsibility - even if they are Republicans.

If you ever saw Ron Paul in an interview it cannot be said that he avoids discussing vital issues. He is someone who is willing to make a statement and stick by it even when no one agrees with him. I don’t “believe” in electoral politics but it’s not that much sweat off my brow to go and vote to end war.

I think the fact that NO pro-Israel group will let Ron Paul speak at their convention, not even peace Zionists, is evidence enough that he is the only person to put in charge as commander-in-chief. And, even if he loses, making all these contacts with local anti-interventionists is priceless. If you want to expand the peace movement so that it overlaps with the freedom movement like ripples in a pond, you just have to respect the fact that people might agree with you, but for different reasons.

Which candidate supports leaving the Middle East altogether and thereby giving the Islamic extremists free reign? Which candidate says that Iran is HARMLESS and would let Israel hang out to dry?

My 88 y/o mother told me the other day that Paul is the only person she will vote for for president because he is the only one that tells the truth. She says he reminds of her of Harry Truman. She is a life long Democrat, but will vote for RP in the primary.

Smoke and mirrors.

He may define life anytime he wants but he believes there should be NO, NONE, NADA effort from the Federal Government to protect that same life. Including being opposed to a properly executed constitutional ammendment to clarify the ALREADY written clauses in the constitution protecting the life of American Citizens (born or unborn).

"She is a life long Democrat, but will vote for RP in the primary." Another verification right from the horses mouth. Ron Paul, the candidate of life long Democrats the nation over.

Actually, Dr. Paul has made only one appearance at Arab-American Institute as did many other GOP candidates. And he is just as willing to appear at Jewish conferences if they invite him. RP goes pretty much wherever he's invited and always has.

One thing I've learned about Paul supporters, they couldn't tell the truth if it stared them in the face.

Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich Ron Paul were there, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards addressed the conference via video hookup. Obama also sent an adviser, Tony Lake, and Edwards sent his campaign manager, David Bonior. Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean was there as well.

And skip the crap like this in your response, you do reflect on Paul's credibility.

So then would you regard Jews (who are circumcised for religious reasons) as having "sacred magic penises"? (Maybe SJackson will insist they are, LOL, he can address that if he likes). But then would the yarmulke be considered a "sacred magic hat"?

Well, we have had an article posted on FR recently telling Zionists that they should vote for Ron Paul, since his hands off approach to Israel would help them in the long run.

Letting the Arabs and Jews work out their own problems-what a radical idea!

You must enjoy getting pwned.

He may define life anytime he wants but he believes there should be NO, NONE, NADA effort from the Federal Government to protect that same life. Including being opposed to a properly executed constitutional ammendment to clarify the ALREADY written clauses in the constitution protecting the life of American Citizens (born or unborn).

“Ron Paul has been fighting for the right to life from the beginning of his public career,” writes Christian-conservative talk-show host and columnist Chuck Baldwin today. “Dr. Paul is rock-solid on pro-life. After all, he has helped over 4,000 women deliver their babies into the world in his obstetrics practice in Lake Jackson, Texas.

“Has he recently discovered these pro-life convictions?” Baldwin continues. “Not at all. Congressman Paul introduced the Human Life Amendment in Congress in his very first term of Congress, a couple of years after Roe v. Wade was first handed down.”

Regardless, I believe that the HLA is a pipe dream with no chance of ever passing. I personally like the Thompson state-by-state strategy of fighting abortion.

Israel not having to walk a tight-rope dictated by Bush and Dr Rice would not be "leaving them to hang out to dry."

He supports the Human Life Amendment. He opposes Roe v. Wade. The dude's pro-life. Live with it.

Not that my primary vote matters, I'm from KY, but have RP under consideration. The biggest problem I have with him is not the laundry list of kooks who support him. The biggest problem I have are his moral equivalence arguments against the war. He should focus on national interest arguments or even moral arguments but NEVER moral equivalence arguments like: How would you feel if the U.S. were invaded?

About Israel, Israel's biggest enemy is not the evil cult of Islam (that is exactly what it is.). Israel's biggest ememy is Almighty God and no matter how much money or technology we give them, they will still have that problem.
