Muslim President... (1 Viewer)

[conserv.pat15]

Would you vote for a Muslim for President of the United States?

 

[flaherty12]

i voted no.
i know that muslims are good people as a whole,and if one had a somewhat succsessfull he would have to had a decent past, but i think a majority of americans (including myself) have been brainwashed into resenting muslims. in the back of my mind when i went to the polls i know i would be thinking "terrorist" and vote for someone who practices another religion.

:3oops: shame on me for being so judgemental, but im only human.

 

[RightOfCenter]

If his political views aligned with mine I would have no problem voting for a Muslim, but I don't think I'll get the chance anytime soon since it seems like most prominent Muslims running for office are too liberal for my tastes.

Don't be ashamed. Don't you think that you have your prejudices for a reason?

There's no way in Hell I would vote for a Muslim President, just as there are several other religious groups that I would never even consider voting for a member of. (Some of which you'd never guess. And some of which already wield tremendous political power in this country.)

The majority of Muslims in this country are associated with racial politics which I can not abide. The majority of the remainder are poorly assimilated immigrants-- which is a deal-breaker for me even if they are not associated with religious politics.

If there were a credible Muslim candidate for President who could overcome these reservations-- successfully convince me that he understands and embraces American life-- then I would vote for him. At that rate, however... I'm more likely to vote for a Libertarian.

I agree with the bolds above.

But I voted Yes.
Because, I in fact, WOULD vote for a muslim, given the right circumstances.

I guess that could be said about any candidate of any religion.

 

[Navy Pride]

I voted no..........I am sure that most Muslims in this country are good people but I would love to hear some of their leaders denounce radical Islam......A few have spoken up but a very few..........

I would be open to voting for a Muslim president.

Now it depends on her spicific politics.

 

[Real Korimyr #9]

Fair enough. Under the right circumstances, I would also... but my "no" vote was based on the fact that such right circumstances are astronomically unlikely.

I guess that could be said about any candidate of any religion.

I can think of a few religions under which there are no right circumstances. Scientology, Moon's Unification Church, Jehovah's Witness... and so on.

I wonder how many who voted yes have ever read the Koran?

There is no separation of church and state for the Muslims.

IMO the majority of people in the United States remain in denial about Islam and its global goals. I am afraid that oever time they will silently set us up within our borders, then our votes will not count because it will be too late.

Our leaders are worried about being politically correct and the government refuses to enforce its immigration laws with consistency and basic common sense. They don't care and it shows. So one Muslim elected to our courts followed by more and more and more...

The very concepts of the Muslim faith requires submission to the will of Allah and also demands that adherents do anything within their power to bring all other people into submission to Islam.


What is the ultimate goal of Islam, the one taught by Muhammed, you tell me? I do believe it is worldwide domination.

So do we want a Muslim who submits to Allah being President?

No way.

There is no seperation of church and state in the Bible either.
And, if you are not referring to the holy books when talking about church and state....
You can't use Arab muslims as an example of what an American Muslim would do if they were a leader of America. Duh!

IMO the majority of people in the United States remain in denial about Islam and its global goals.

Yes, because my American Muslim neighbor wants to take over the world, by driving a taxi cab.

I am afraid that oever time they will silently set us up within our borders, then our votes will not count because it will be too late.

Paranoia Paranoia everybody's coming to get meeeeee.

So one Muslim elected to our courts followed by more and more and more...

So, Muslims are not worthy of holding positions of power in our government. But christians are.
Are you claiming religious superiority over others?
I always thought that you believed you were better than others just because you are a christian, And now you just proved it.

The very concepts of the Muslim faith requires submission to the will of Allah and also demands that adherents do anything within their power to bring all other people into submission to Islam.

The very concepts of the Christian faith requires submission to the will of Jesus and also demands that adherents do anything within their power to bring all other people into submission to Christ. As shown with the Inquisition, the massacre of millions of European Pagans, Salem Witch Trials, the Crusades, and the slavery of blacks and Native Americans.

What is the ultimate goal of Islam, the one taught by Muhammed, you tell me? I do believe it is worldwide domination.

So do we want a Muslim who submits to Allah being President?

No way.

Do we want a Christian who submits to Christ being President?
No way.

As judgemental as it may be, I wouldn't be able to convince myself to trust a muslim to lead the United States of America, especially given the current situation. Plus, think of what kind of moral victory it would be for terrorist leaders to know that the leader of the free world is of their race.

I have nothing against muslims, but now is not the time to be forking over our nation to one.

Since when is Muslim a race?
I thought it was a religion....

 

[conserv.pat15]

I would never vote for a Muslim... Simply because I don't think a Muslim would be strong enough in fighting the War on Terror.

So you are already committed to the fact that the War on Terror will never end. And you have absolutely no problems with that.

Sad.....

I don't know how you can get it that he said that.........

 

[Caine]

I don't know how you can get it that he said that.........

Because he stated that he would NEVER vote for a Muslim.

And his stated reason is because he does not think they would be strong in the war on terror.

Thus he expects the war on terror to NEVER end.

Doh!

I still don't know how you can come to that conclusion...............I would never vote for a Muslim for prez either but I believe we will prevail in the war on terror at some point and time.......

Christ... this is why you are so hard to actually debate with.

You completely missed the part where he stated WHY he would NEVER vote for a muslim.

He said he would NEVER vote for a muslim because he feels that they would be weak on the War on Terror.

Thus, his reasoning for whether or not he would vote for a muslim is based upon performance in the War on Terror. And since he stated that he would NEVER vote for a muslim, that means that he thinks that the war on terror will NEVER end...

Do you get it now? Or are you going to ignore everything and come back with some kind of smart assed response as usual?

Caine, I had to reread your post a couple of times to get the connection of what you were saying. I think you're overgeneralizing conserv.pat15's comment. I read it more simply; I would not vote for a Muslim because they are Muslim. All the other stuff was extraneous.

Regardless, I agree with what you and Kori said. Under the right circumstances, I would vote for a Muslim, though I think the right circumstances are a ways away.

My mistake, a rather embarassing typo. :3oops:

My opinion stands however.

Doh!

Just to clarify something... Yes I think the War on Terror will end (However, it will be a VERY long time, well past my life-time). What this means is that since I don't think the War on Terror will end in my life-time, I will never vote for a Muslim to be President of the United States.

I think if they were too conservative, they'd come under suspicion of wanting to implement sharia law, by some people . . .

 

[talloulou]

I voted no. Not at this point in history. Could that change years from now? Sure. But right now? No way.

As Mencia says, ""Achmed--tag! You're it!"

I think your comment was pretty clear to most of us.........I agree this is a different war on terror........We will not know when it is over.....There will always be a threat of terrorist attacks............I just hope the left doesn't tie authorities hands so we are able to detect potential attacks before they take place........

 

[Caine]

I agree this is a different war on terror........

Different from which other war on terror????

We will not know when it is over.....

Never, you can't defeat terrorism. You can defeat specific terrorist groups, and even that will be difficult when their ideology continues to spread the more we do to stop them.

There will always be a threat of terrorist attacks............

And this is no different from any other point in our history. Terrorism has always existed. (This statement is not about Navy Pride) Some people act as if terrorism is some new concept or idea, and that is just not the case.

I just hope the left doesn't tie authorities hands so we are able to detect potential attacks before they take place........

I just hope the right doesn't destroy everything America used to stand for in the name of security and protection from terrorists.
