I feel a little better about Mitt.
« on: August 10, 2012, 04:51:41 PM »
From Hamas-linked CAIR's "American Muslim News Briefs" email:

CAIR Asks Romney to Explain Meeting with Infamous Islamophobe Muslim rights group questions why candidate willing to hold private meeting with anti-Muslim extremist
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/9/12) -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to clarify his decision to meet privately with a key figure in the Islamophobia movement, retired Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin.

Boykin asserts that "[Islam] should not be protected under the First Amendment," that there should be "no mosques in America" and that there can be no interfaith dialogue or cooperation between Muslims and Christians. In 2003, President Bush rebuked Boykin for his anti-Muslim stance.

Earlier this year, Boykin's extreme viewpoints resulted in him withdrawing from a prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. CAIR and VoteVets.org, a coalition of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, had both asked the academy to retract the invitation because of Boykin's Islamophobic views....

....and I've thought the bolded part for a long time.

This makes me think that Romney takes the Islamic terrorist threat seriosly.

What do you think?

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

If you think the practitioners of islam will follow through on what they believe, and what they say they will do, and you are the object of their designs, and you oppose that, you are islamophobic.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I'd like an explanation of why Obama has met with anti-Israel hard line Muslim extremists.

Gotta agree with you about Mitt, JR.  Especially now that I'm seeing his VP pick speak.
