Herman Cain Vows He Won’t Appoint Muslims if He Becomes President

What comments by likely 2012 GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain have some accusing him of “bigotry?” Lets just say it has something to do with his recent thoughts on Muslims in America.
At last week’s Conservative Principles Conference in Iowa, the liberal site Think Progress asked Cain if he would be comfortable appointing a Muslim, either in his cabinet or as a federal judge. This was his response:
No, I would not. And here’s why. There is this creeping attempt, there is this attempt to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government. It does not belong in our government. This is what happened in Europe. And little by little, to try and be politically correct, they made this little change, they made this little change. And now they’ve got a social problem that they don’t know what to do with hardly.
The question that was asked that “raised some questions” and, as my grandfather said, “I does not care, I feel the way I feel.” I was asked, “what is the role of Islam in America?” I thought it was an odd question. I said the role of Islam in America is for those that believe in Islam to practice it and leave us alone. Just like Christianity. We have a First Amendment. And I get upset when the Muslims in this country, some of them, try to force their Sharia law onto the rest of us.
“Cain’s apparent rationale for refusing to even consider a Muslim nominee for any position in his administration is as simple as it is abhorrent,” Think Progress says. Last week Cain trumpeted a similar message when he decried Muslims “trying to convert the rest of us.”
But criticism of Cain isn’t exclusive to the left. Regarding Cain’s most recent comments (and coupled with remarks by Newt Gingrich), blogger Matt Welch from the Libertarian think tank Reason says, “If this is where the Republican Party is at in 2011, the term ‘lost the plot’ does not begin to describe it.”

this is just an opinion that he has… a belief…i am sure that if he had an appointee in front of him that was qualified…like Dr. Zudhi Jasser….and that person was not flaunting his/her faith, sexuality, or belief…that Herman Cain would judge them on their merits….
sorry…but if I have a person of Muslim faith in front of me that openly thought Sharia Law trumped the Constitution or that his sexual orientation or his Christian faith or skin color “defined” who he was… i wouldn’t hire him, appoint him, or even do business with him…
faith, sexuality and the like…are private…they do not belong being flaunted openly….i disagree with Don’t Ask, don’t tell..but not for why the Liberal idiots do..but because a Soldier has NO business flaunting his/her sexuality while on duty, the military shouldn‘t even know if you are gay because they can’t ask me if i am married, so why do you tell them you are gay??….just like a Soldier must remain a-political while in uniform..

Cain is saying the right thing, people say “well all Muslims don’t believe in Sharia Law” but the truth is is that the Bible, even the Old Testament does not have the kinds of revolting things in it like the Koran does. I’m sorry and maybe if Muslims were not causing troubles, doing horrible things in a quarter of the world, we might be more compassionate. Okay, we had 911 here but maybe a good number of the Muslims are not troublemakers.
Still, Herman ain’t pussyfooting around.

This is a strange situation, I think the American people are sick of the PC garbage, the socialism, and all the political crap too. But if someone like Cain wins the primary then what happens in the general election? Will enough people side with an extreme right candidate? Or will enough people overlook the fact the candidate is extreme right in order to get rid of Obama, much like the situation in ‘08? It is hard to gauge these things, now may be the time for the tea parties and the strong conservatives to get a good man in, but the gamble is taking the chance on another 4 years of Obama…Which I believe this country would not survive.

I understand the instinct to go with a George Patton approach that spits in the face of the opposition, but if he does it at the expense of the sound position that we could and must argue against them then we have let our anger and frustration get the better of us. Cain is RIGHT on the Muslim problem, but he is DEAD WRONG on a blanket disqualification of Muslims being the right strategy let alone Constitutional. And for a Tea Party man to so fail on the Constitutional question really shoots us in the a**.

I replied to two of your earlier comments and decided not to post. I agree with you, it was a wrong comment, and I have seen many good Christians lose all sight of their biblical teachings on the subject of Muslims. It truly is a blind spot for many if not most.
But I am not going to get into the argument here because it is pointless. They are not buying. Cain does not have much chance to begin with, and this comment will alienate the moderates he will need. It will not be a factor. Romney will be our next president, mark my words now. He is wrong for the job but this is how the game is played. I would prefer Palin, Huckabee, Paul…But Romney has the money and the support.
But you cannot argue that Islam is a unique problem when talking about freedom of religion. There is no doubt that they want to use our freedom against us…Not all Muslims…Just a fringe element. I think we are safe as long as we do not allow this by ENFORCING existing laws against them. Namely, keeping Sharia out of this country. We can all live in peace here…We are going to have to, there is no choice. I have no problem with Muslims in government, their voice is just as valid as anyone elses.

I agree that Islam has a unique problem in this area and we must focus on that and not shy away. In the Cain is dead on. 80-90% of what he said in that clip was RIGHT. The problem comes in connected the right things he said with a very wrong prescription for blanket discrimination against all Muslims regardless of their position on Sharia and jihad.
I disagree that Romney will be the nominee. I think squeemishness over his Mormonism and the albatross of Romneycare, coupled with his inability to repent of it, will still be heavy factors against him. I think the ground has shifted just a little in the party since ‘08 and the game will not be played as it was.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 4:19pmcain isnt to far off the mark. the koran orders all muslims to either kill or convert the infidels (all us non-muslims).
KORAN commands to kill infidels:
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. – Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. – 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God’s entirely. – Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. – 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
….. martyrs…. Enter heaven – Surah 3:140-43
If you should die or be killed in the cause of Allah, His mercy and forgiveness would surely be better than all they riches they amass. If you should die or be killed, before Him you shall all be gathered. – 3:157-8
You must not think that those who were slain in the cause of Allah are dead. They are alive, and well-provided for by their Lord. – Surah 3:169-71
Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of God, whether he is slain or victorious, soon we shall give him a great reward. – Surah 4:74
Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil. – 4:76
But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them. – 4:89
Therefore, we stirred among them enmity and hatred, which shall endure till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will declare to them all that they have done. – 5:14
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. – 5:54
Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme – 8:39
O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there are 20 steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish 200; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding. – 8:65
It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. – 8:67
Allah will humble the unbelievers. Allah and His apostle are free from obligations to idol-worshipers. Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers. – 9:2-3
When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. – 9:5
Believers! Know that idolators are unclean. – 9:28
Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are People of the Book, until they pay the tribute and have been humbled. – 9:29 (another source: ) The unbelievers are impure and their abode is hell. (another source: ) Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute.
Whether unarmed or well-equipped, march on and fight for the cause of Allah, with your wealth and your persons. – 9:41
O Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites. Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey’s end. – 9:73
Allah has purchased of their faithful lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for His cause, kill and be killed. – 9:111
Fight unbelievers who are near to you. 9:123 (different translation:
Believers! Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you. (another source: ) Ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers….
As for those who are slain in the cause of Allah, He will not allow their works to perish. He will vouchsafe them guidance and ennoble their state; He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them. – 10:4-15
Allah has cursed the unbelievers and proposed for them a blazing hell. – 33:60
Unbelievers are enemies of Allah and they will roast in hell. – 41:14
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. – 47:4
(different translation: ) When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.
Those who are slain in the way of Allah – he will never let their deeds be lost. Soon will he guide them and improve their condition, and admit them to the Garden, which he has announced for them. – 47:5
Muslims are harsh against the unbelievers, merciful to one another. – 48:25
Muhammad is Allah’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Through them, Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers. – 48:29
Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal sternly with them. Hell shall be their home, evil their fate. – 66:9
The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. – 98:51

How is that a good strategy?
It’s one thing to refuse to buy into the cover-up over what the Koran actually teaches and what traditiona; Islam has sought to do for centuries. It is another to say that no Mulsims can break from that tradition and still call themselves Muslims. That is a religious war that the moderate/liberl Muslims must fight against theri fundmentalist brethren. But it is a fight we should take side on, and NOT on the radicals side. We should be rooting for Islam to be liberalized in the classical sense, the way Christianity was when it decided not to persecute heretics and Jews anymore.

I bet you WOULD like to expand the Constitution to have it include even yet-undiscovered ALIENS. But the fact remains, our Founding Fathers did not intend or include “PERSIA” or “SHARIA LAW” as options for our U.S. representitives when the Constitution was written. You are an idiot for trying to make the case in the first place.

If they were smart they would see that Cain first act would be a violation of Art. VI of the Constitution:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Another example of why the fringe elements of the Astro-Turf Tea Party is going to destroy the GOP.”
You know you might be believable if you could read. The passage you quote is for Elected Office only not an appointed office. The Presidents cabinet servers at his pleasure not YOURS! Since Obama didn‘t ask any of us about his picks I don’t think you have a Dog in the Hunt here. Mr. Cain is NOT violating the constitution by setting his OWN standards for his Cabinet. In other words GET OVER YOURSELF IDIOT!!!!

Sorry, I guess you need to read the passage, while some judges at the State level are elected, at the Federal level they are appointed, also its Executive officials, Article VI does not limited it self to elected vs. appointed, this is the reason why cabinet and senior Federal officials all take the Oath of office. Again, a Astro-turf Tea Partier with little understanding of the Constitution or the laws.
Herman Cain has stated that his first act as President is to violate the Constitution he claims to want to uphold.

This is flatly unconstitutional and we should not support it merely because he is OUR guy and fighting the good fight.
We do CARE about the Constitution, don’t we? Liberals think that rules don’t apply if the “right” people are in charge, or the “just” cause is being fought. We aren’t supposed to think like that. Moreover, we don’t NEED to. We can win without betraying the core values of the Constitution.
Cain will not win anyone over who would not already support him. But he has certainly lost some people with this, and he has made our side have to defend itself against a more credible charge of religious discrimination.

In fact, the latter requirement is the justification foor the “dhimmi tax,” which non-Muslims must pay.

Posted on March 28, 2011 at 4:39pmYes, he is out of the running. And people who care about the Islamist problem should be pissed at how he framed the issue. Rather than say he would hire anyone who accepted American pronciples of freedom of conscience and separation of church and state he labled all muslims with the same brush, disregarding the kind of moderate Muslims Rep. King invited to testify a couple weeks back.
Sure, these moderate muslims may be a practical minority and may not represent “true” Islam, but if we want them to CHANGE Islam so that it is not dedicated to immitating their bloodthirsty prophet we are going to have to signal that we are open to THEIR brand of Islam even if the radical/orthodox Muslims aren’t. The only way we have to beat radical Islam is by corrupting Islam so that it is no longer ISLAMIC (the way Islam has traditionally been defined). But their is a smart way and a dumb way to push that agenda to get America on board. Cain chose the dumb way.
We want Muslims who don’t want to destroy the West, and we want them to they are welcome as long as they don’t try to subvert us. Telling them that they will always be second class citizens because we will never trust a Muslim is the perfect way to ensure the further radicalization of American Muslims.

I know that the left has no problem with it, but that’s because they have no values. It‘s barbaric and it shouldn’t even be considered a religion. It’s high time to face evil head on, no more cowardly political correctness.

No, no, no, Phantom, you are so mistaken! Blacks did not vote black; they voted Democrat. An insignificant percentage of black Repubs did vote black, but the majority of blacks will always vote along party lines, regardless of race. Black Republicans are pariahs in their community.

Yeah, it was probably a mistake to think that people here might understand IRONY and get that I was not being serious. I was making a point about the problem of justifying things because they stand up against political correctness.
If using the N word is STILL unacceptable despite being un-pc then that establishes the rule that being un-pc is no justification for anything. Things will have to be justified by themselves.
Why I’m on this site is to try to encourage some REASON in what often becomes partisan and jingoistic support for OUR side regardless of the principles that might get tossed on the way.

Please allow me to quote the words of Jesus:
==> “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.” (Matt 10:16)
I have to admit that until recently that was a hard pill to swallow for my un-PC mind. For years my gut reaction was to reject the wisdom behind those seemingly contradictory words. How could Jesus ask us to behave like snakes, and at the same time retain our innocence?
I realize now that it is a very effective war tactic to defeat evil — and Jesus knew we would be surrounded by evil men. I’d like to share a Texan brother’s interpretation of that Bible verse:
==> “…a snake has to know when to just lie there and blend in, when to make a mad dash for safety and he has to know when his rattler did no good and it’s time to fight to the death with those ugly, retractable, k-nines of his… I have learned quite a few lessons of survival from the vipers and especially the Diamond-Back. Their wisdom is over-looked because their bite stings so bad.”

We cannot win this war against the deadly enemies who have seized our Republic unless we are wise (and righteous). If we expose ourselves needlessly, thereby making ourselves weak, the commies and Islamists will destroy us before we can take them out. That is exactly what they want and expect us to do. WE HAVE ERRONEOUSLY INTERPRETED NOT TAKING THE BAIT AS BEING PC. No, patriots, it is called being WISE! The media tried that wile on Cantor and Boehner too, but they both refused to take the bait.
We are at war with the Trojan horses in government, the media, law enforcement and even many of our churches. Let’s please heed the words of Jesus. He is, after all, our Great Commander-in-Chief.

First, you take a huge leap by fabricating your own “translation” of what RJO Said.
Nothing he said even remotely suggests that all problems in this country are the fault of muslims.
This is just another example of your little trick, by setting up a false argument, so you can play your word games.
You are nothing but a drive-by socialist troll. You wander in, drop a turd, then run.
I’ll play the word game with your “Strawman” And I will exchange the word of my choosing, not yours.
“All problems in this country are the fault of DEMOCRATS” (Be they Jews, Muslims, Atheists, etc.)
And no, I don’t want to reconsider my statement. Even if you think I sound like a nazi.
