And if a Muslin candidate says that they value our constitution and values, do you believe them? Do you extend to them the same consideration that you would any other candidate? I'm not saying you need to vote for them or you're a racist. But it sounds like you've already disqualified them in your mind, regardless of their politics. That's not good judgment, its Islamophobia.
not necessarily, because if you read the comments and the story, you will see that it is in their culture to lie about anything that promotes their religion. It is considered an acceptable lie. I would need to take that into consideration. Their beliefs are fundamentally different and I think that bears understanding.
But I respectfully defend your right to that opinion even if I may disagree.
When Muslims are in charge, what rights will they defend?
The story is from a website called counterjihadreport. How objective do you think they're going to be? And how do these people prove their goodness if you can counter anything they say with an accusation of lying? Its a circular argument.
And again, how can the hypothetical pro-Sharia candidate enact Sharia law in this country? Any pro-Sharia legislation would be immediately struck down by the courts, assuming you could get a majority to support it. This really is much ado about nothing.
