A black republican who is pro discrimination?

Seems so. Mr. Cain has decided it is OK to discriminate against places of worship, as long as they are a mosque.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/herman-cain-backs-mosque-bans-152052930.html#more-15817

Have replublicans forgotten about freedom of religion... something this country was founded on? His odds of being nominated I believe just went from .00000001 to 0.

Chris Wallace asked the former Godfather's Pizza CEO his feelings about communities that wish to ban mosques.

"Yes, they have the right to do that," Cain replied.

Understand, Herman Cain is the image of the sort of demagogue who would pander to a group who can vote for him, trading other people's minority rights for power.

He's just the type to tell the majority they're "abused" and those who tell them they don't have the right to ban mosques are Christian haters they should oppose.

The question is, right now he's a demagogue without a big following to empower him to enact his evil agenda - but can that change?

The funny thing is, such demagogues only look 'radical' early on; if they get a big following, they become the 'new normal', and the old 'normal' is viewed as 'radical'.

That's how societies change - sometimes it's for the worse, under this 'leadership'.
 
I am with everyone else. I actually don't consider this a republican issue per say, even if people like PJ would consider this a democrat issue if the roles were reversed.

As for Race != religion... well no shit but discrimination is discrimination.

Considering the GOP is fearmongering the threat of Sharia law, at the same time pushing fear of Muslim-Americans, that makes it their issue. Remember the demagoging over the "9/11 mosque"?
 
"Last week, Cain, who is Christian, referred to the planned Murfreesboro mosque as an "infringement and an abuse of our freedom of religion"



How is this guy in the race again? Wow.


Stay classy GOP, I see a lot of Maalox and Tucks in your future...

That really is the issue - not Cain himself, but the Republican party's need to shun him.

It's the difference between, say, David Duke being shunned and just not elected.
 
Sharia is inseparable from Islam and so Islam is incompatible with US Constitution and law. Islam holds all law not from God is corrupt and illegitimate. Since Muhammad obeyed secular law while he gained strength Islamic teaching holds its ok for Muslims to obey secular law - until they are strong enough to raise hell and do away with it. Islam ultimately sees US law as a target. Of course Sharia has built in civil rights abuses and has no business being established in the US. Right now mega mosques are being built where there are no large Muslim populations. Saudi Arabia and others are paying for these things as a way to make an incursion into US culture and law etc. Its typical of present state of US deterioration that so many people are finding it easy to come to US and (with hostility for US) seek to alter/compromise/conquer US from within. The American soul/identity is hollow and all kinds of rubbish is filling the void. Good for Herman Cain for taking issue head on. I expect he will become more popular (of course not with liberals who are increasingly working in tandem with Islamists since they share the same enemies)
 
The rights' endeavor to impregnate Christian based theocracy into politics will never stop, and it seems it's only getting worse as the years go by.
 
The OP posted a blog which used quotes that were cherry picked from what Mr. Cain said in this regard.

The argument he made went basically like this. Our Constitution guarantees the separation of church and state. Islam combines church and state. He went on further to state that if the people of a certain area do not wish to have a mosque in their area that they are entitled to block it based on our Constitution.

I have paraphrased Mr. Cain.

You may direct your anger at ire at me if you wish, but I am just telling you what the man said. It's important to get riled up based on factual information rather than hearsay from a blog. What he said is readily available.
 
Good for Mr. Cain!

I like him even more now.

This has nothing to do with freedom of religion and those that are saying so are the very people that want no religion at all, any where any time. The only reason these people, upset with Mr. Cain, like the so called muslim religion so much is that islam is anti-American, anti-freedom, at its core.
 
Just goes to show how far right the republican party has become. Most of the last few Republican Presidents of a few decades ago wouldn't stand a chance of their own party's nomination now.

Now I want to be clear on what you're saying so I'm hoping you can clear it up for me.

While Christianity is to be suppressed at all costs, Islam must be openly promoted in the name of religious awareness, sensitivity and tolerance? Do I have it correct?

Yes. That about sums it up.

Christianity....bad.

Islam...good.

Herman also opposes same sex marriages. How's that "freedom of religion"?
Click to expand...
The left tells us that the traditional American family consisting of one man and one woman is just one of several possible arrangements, all of which are equally moral and acceptable.

They tell us that marriage is no longer necessary to sanctify man-woman relationships.

Although the institution of marriage is no longer vital to heterosexual partners, it is absolutely essential that same-sex couples be allowed to marry. To deny them that basic right is discriminatory, immoral, unfair, and clearly unconstitutional. That's what we hear.

Marriage can be attained without religion. A justice of the peace, or a judge for example can legally marry people. Religion and marriage are not mutually exclusive.

...and what part of what you just stated does everyone else not already accept? Your statements are exactly why everyone is criticizing him. They are not just wrong, but Stupid Wrong.

Prior to the founding of the US, Christianity also combined Church and State.

Try again. I referred to freedom of religion. People are free to build a church of the spaghetti monster if they so wish.

Pretty simple idea isn't it?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances.
