Herman Cain Issues Apology to Muslims

GOP Presidential Contender Herman Cain’s comments on Islam have taken a consistently negative tone. Back in March, he made statements that he would be unwilling to appoint Muslims to his cabinet. More recently he’s come out in opposition to a Tennessee mosque and also said Americans should have the right to ban Islamic houses of worship in their local communities. But now, it seems, Cain has had a change of heart.
On Wednesday, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO met with a small group of Muslim leaders at All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) in Sterling, Virginia. While his campaign had previously announced plans to hold the meeting, officials provided few details both before and after. Robert Marro, a board member at ADAMS, though, told Politico that he believes Cain left the meeting with an entirely different view on both Islam and mosques. Marro explains:
“If he was expecting to see secret nooks and crannies where people are plotting nefarious things, he would have been highly surprised to find there is nothing like that in ours — or other mosques across the country.”
Marro continues, offering his hopes that the presidential candidate doesn’t advocate for the banning of mosques any longer:
“I would be flabbergasted if he ever repeated those statements and said that communities should be allowed to ban mosques. I think that the meeting today has changed his mind 100 percent. From the tenor of the conversation, I can’t see him repeating such things.”
If Marro is correct, this will indicate a major change in Cain’s public statements about Islam. Not long ago (back in June), the candidate fiercely defended himself amid controversy over statements saying he wouldn’t have Muslims in his administration. In addressing the issue, he yelled at a TPM reporter.
Following this week’s meeting, Cain released a statement to reporters. While he did not necessarily repudiate his past comments, he did offer an apology for offending Muslims. Additionally, he expressed regret for betraying his “commitment to the U.S. Constitution”:
“While I stand by my opposition to the interference of shariah law into the American legal system, I remain humble and contrite for any statements I have made that might have caused offense to Muslim Americans and their friends.
I am truly sorry for any comments that may have betrayed my commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the freedom of religion guaranteed by it. Muslims, like all Americans, have the right to practice their faith freely and peacefully.”
Considering that Cain was still discussing his controversial views on Islam just days ago (watch the video, below), this apology is somewhat of a surprise. If genuine, it showcases a change of heart that has arisen unexpectedly:
Following both the meeting and his public statement, the media will likely be examining, with scrutiny, how Cain continues to discuss Islam on the campaign trail. People — even candidates — are certainly entitled to become enlightened, change their viewpoints and the like.
Perhaps these events will usher in a new era in his relationship with the Muslim community.

One of their laws concerning a woman being raped is she must have 4 male witnessess, if not she will be beaten for being a whore. My ? is, if there are 4 males there why do they not stop the rape, unless they plan on joining in on the rape.

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 11:05amDo you even know what “Sharia Law” is? It’s not the same thing to all Muslims and Muslim countries. Sharia Law is night and day in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, for example. It’s very subjective. Think of it like the Law of Moses during the time of Christ or even between different sects of Judaism today. It can be very subjective.
While I agree that Sharia Law has no place in the US legal system, not even in the slightest, I don’t have a problem with Muslims willingly choosing to subject themselves to the Sharia Law of their local mosque or sect in the US similar to how various Christians, like the Mormons and Catholics, submit to church courts and councils by choice and have the choice to reject a ruling and even leave if they so choose. If Muslim Americans choose to submit themselves to Sharia Law in their personal lives and are not harmed if they choose not to and so long as any ruling or punishment does not violate federal, state, and local laws; then I don’t have a problem with it. That being said, I understand that coersion and force can be used in their society and freedom and choices can be taken away, in which case we stamp such things out and prosecute the offenders when such occasions arise.
If we agree that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land, then we can’t pick and choose to whom it applies based on our own personal preferences and belief systems. US Muslims have the right to practice their religion in a way that doesn’t violate

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:19amI don’t have a problem with a candidate getting new facts and changing his position, from his apology it seems that he is saying, look I still don’t want shariah law creeping in, but he is a constitutional conservative and he now believes a community banning mosques would be unconstitutional, something I personally disagree with, the constitution limits the Federal Government not state or local governments, I think a community has every right to choose to not allow mosque’s in their community if they so desire.
It’s like the marriage debate, I am pro-traditional marriage but I would be against a federal outlaw on same sex marriages, let all of the homosexuals who want to be married move to New York and wherever else legalizes it, then the rest of the states can watch and see how it works out and take appropriate action.
The states should be almost independant entities that can all try different ideas then have the best copied, and we would be a stronger nation for it.

It just wouldn’t work out.
However, communities have already banned churches through zoning issues and what not.. It’s not really the community per se, but the local governing boards making the decision. If you trace back who the powers that be are, you probably find a angry athiest.

Where in the Qur’an does it say all must convert or be killed? The Qur’an calls Jews and Christians “The People of the Book,” which refers to The Bible. It does not call for them to be killed but rather to be taxed at a higher rate as an incentive for such people living in Muslim lands to convert. In fact, during the Middle Ages, Jews were treated far more fairly under Islam than they were under Christianity (Catholicism) in Europe. Refering to Jews and Christians as infidels was developed more recently by the Islamofascists of the Wahhabi cult that influences Sunni Islam and Iranian cult that influences Shi’a Islam. The infidels that the Qur’an refers to were actually pagans who used prostitution and infanticide as part of their fertility worship, and the commandment to kill them is the the same as that found in The Bible, such as when the Israelites cleansed the Land of Canaan. The loose use of infidel is not true to Islam but is unfortunately extremely influential over most modern Muslim thinking. That being said, it is not true of all Muslims and is therefore unfair to stereotype all as such. That said, I’m all for killing terrorists without question, whether they’re brainwashed or not.
A lot of the people posting here are sounding about as Christian as the Norway Bomber. In other words, not very. I oppose fundamentalist fascism in all religions, whether it be Islam or Christianity. In either case, it’s a false version of the original.

It cannot. for example…If someone wanted to call the color blue red is he correct?. Marriage is between a man and a woman( always has been and always should be) If same sex people want to be “in union” or whatever they should call it ,they can use a different word to define their “union”.Please try to defend the definition of the word “Marriage” in the future .

Thank you for taking this stand. Too many people are falling into a blind hatred of all things Islam, and that is, in and of itself, evil. Consider this:
Jesus Christ himself loved everyone. Even his enemies. He used righteous indignation when necessary (money changers in the temple) but never once called for the destruction of any one people. When Peter took arms against the Centurion that attempted to arrest Jesus, did He let the Centurion be killed? No, he reached out to him and healed him.
Why do we not follow His example? Yes it would be easiest to hate all Muslims, but the easy way, is not Christ’s way. Lets bring it away from religion here: Yes it would be easier to shoot someone who raped a person and let them die. But the Constitution of the United States says that man deserves a trial, and the law states that he is Innocent until proven guilty. Also then, he can only be subject to certain punishment, as prescribed by law. It may not be the easiest way, but that is OUR way.
The moment we start banning certain people from becoming Americans, is the moment we throw away everything the Founders worked for. It is the moment we cease to be a Republic, and become a Democracy, and a Mobacracy. At that, in and of itself, is a far worse thing.

Quran (8:12)
SHAKIR:When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them
Quran (9:5)
“But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them…” Prayer and charity are among the Five Pillars of Islam, as salat and zakat. See below.
Quran 9:29
“Fight(does this mean hurl insults?) those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.“ Suras 9 and 5 are the last ”revelations” that Muhammad handed down.

“Testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck!” Words of a military leader that Muhammad sent on an expedition with the mission of destroying a local religion in Yemen.

I agree this is a very difficult subject but unfortuantely, it’s one of the subjects in this next election….and more than important. My personal opinion is that those Muslims saw this a very negative thing for their PR – appearing “peaceful” only forever…since he’s a well known, public figure running for President. So of course they’d try to change. Also shows you how complex & difficult handling this Muslim problem is….b/c of our “freedom” laws. You have to prove they’re “seditious” & that’s about impossible, since they know that & do everything they can to keep it hidden. Most Americans are ignorant of the Koran & Islam. They‘re taught it’s noble to lie in order to promote their agenda. They’re using “stealth” to gradually take us over with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood – goal is a caliphate as Glenn has tried to show us. They also don‘t know that all the ones that don’t llike or agree with the terrorism stuff are stuck in Islam & their laws b/c it’s highly difficult to leave Islam & keep your life. They rule by fear. Then, when they think they have enough numbers to achieve their takeover goal, they call “jihad” & then all are forced to unite with them in their efforts. How many know that?

If you want to participate in banning people from countries, then I suggest you move to the Middle East, where is is acceptable to do as such.

You tried to pander to bigots, and got it all over your face.
Now you can’t get it off.
Throw your support behind Ron Paul.
Ron Paul 2012.

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 9:59amWell this unfortunately makes mr Cain someone who can not win in general election. I do like him and actually agree with things he says even on muslims but in our era of political correctness he will be sucessfully made out to be a monster. Hopefully I am wrong cause I like him and would vote for him.

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 9:56amI like Herman; but I really think Palin needs to get in NOW as there is really no one better suited for prez at this time. Come on, Sarah!

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:16amTruly, when it comes down to it – I really don’t trust Palin – I don’t trust that she will win and two months later say “I’m done”.
However, having said that, and from reading about all of the Republican and Independent candidates that are out there- the ONLY one that I would vote for is Palin. She has morals, ethics and values and stands by those – and everyone else doesn’t.

Really, that’s your concern with Palin? Why vote for a candidate you obviously know nothing about? Your concern is clearly parsed from the progressive trolls who spew this on cue, but decidedly leave out the facts to suit their hate of Palin.
You should find a candidate that most closely aligns with your thoughts on the issues.

She would not quit. There was a reason she did that in Alaska. She did what was best for the State. Why would she or anyone quit the highest office on the planet and biggest military? Not gonna happen.

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 9:55amI’m the first one to make a comment!
I feel and I am betrayed by Herman Cain! This is the second time, that he has back tracked what he meant in regards to Muslims and their religion/political style.
I in no way shape or form, would EVER vote for this man. You changed your mind twice – before even the primaries -what in the world will you do if you got the nomination?
I would rather the current administration stayed in power – at least I know what to expect from them – :) And if it came down to Cain vs. Obama – I’ll be voting for Obama. :) At least its one vote closer to the destruction of our country.

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:10amI think he’s trying to give the benefit of the doubt to the non-practising Muslims, you know the ones who don’t want to blow anyone up, just practice their religion in peace. Those are the ones who ignore the Q’uran when it says kill the infidel. Muslims, when they don’t have infidels to kill, will kill other Muslims who aren’t as strict as they are.

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:18amI love Herman Cain. He is a man that speaks his mind, and tells the truth as he sees it. He sees how sharia is bieng worked into our justice system , and he sees the danger this brings to freedom loving Americans.
He has every right to disclude Muslims in his cabinet if that is what he feels is safest for the US.
What a shame that the media will ignore Obama’s gaffs and promote his agenda at the sametime, while real Americans like Herman Cain get thrown under the bus.
Herman Cain is a PATRIOT!!!!!!!

Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:18amNo you’re not.
How are you betrayed by Mr. Cain? Did he make a promise to you? No? Oh, I didnt think so.
I too dislike that the man made a statement without completely thinking about what he was saying, and subsequently needed to clarify/ back off from that position. But what’s worse: a person who realizes their mistake and says “hey, I got it wrong there are situations where I would appoint a muslim to my cabinet, and its against the constitution to ban a mosque. Also I met with ADAMS and those are some decent people who just want to live there lives differently than you and I” or do you want Obama to push his ideology down your throat like the apples Michelle is forcing on McDonalds?
Just think about it. I‘m not saying you’re wrong for feeling the way you do about Cain retracting those statements. But think it through before you jump ship. Cain is a brilliant man and he has my vote at this point in the game.
Live and let live.

It‘s not like every civilized culture through out recorded history hasn’t tried to make piece with them, and been stabbed in the back the 2nd their back is turned, coincidentally a practice taught in the Koran.
