We need a President who actually understands that Muslims are really influenced by all the teachings of the Quran and also by those who teach the Quran (Imams, etc.). More than 100 verses in the Quran encourage Muslims to practice Holy War (Jihad). A number of Muslims will very seriously consider these verses, and may plan to put them into practice at some point during their lives, whereas many other Muslims may just practice basic Islamic rituals (praying 5 times everyday, fasting during the month of Ramadan, etc.), without paying much attention to the jihadist teachings. Furthermore, Muslims are also influenced by their own cultural background (the first Muslims came from a Semitic origin, and until today, Arabic is widely used in the mosques and the Muslim communities), their personal psychological make-up (which took shape while they were growing up), and their particular perspective on politics (limitations on freedom, no separation between religion and state/government, etc.).
Everything put together (Quranic teachings + a Semitic culture + a particular psychological make-up + an anti-democratic political perspective), creates some sort of a volatile people who may sometimes act (and react) not only strangely, but even DANGEROUSLY. Therefore, the next President of the United States must not ignore and neglect the potential danger that a number of Muslims may represent. Otherwise, who knows what may happen in our future?
No president of ours needs to know one sentence from the Koran.
Queue the graphic.
Yeah,,,cause Roosevelt and Truman understood all about Bushido, Shinto, and Nazi mysticism. Bullshine.
If the next candidate knows the Koran I wont vote for him.
I would disagree. Know thine enemy.
The current one is 0 for 3.
The Hell we aren't!
Ah, yes. Thanks.
Knowing the Quran worked out well for Thomas Jefferson. It made it clear in his mind why we needed to go to Tripoli and reduce their numbers and influence.
You beat me to it. “Know your enemy.”
Unfortunately, these days you need at least some basic knowledge of the Quran.

I don’t swallow the “have to know Islam” crap.
Watch it’s adherents and you’ll know more than enough.
Not intending to focus on you with this.
In a sane America, the moslem word should be freaking out on how they can find a way get along with us. Out of fear, awe, whatever.
Ill give a damn about them when I see Churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.
All I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11.
Okay, let me spell it out.
To know the Koran, don’t you need to own one?
Do you want to fund Islam?
I don’t. I won’t do anything to support that collective group.
I do respect that aspect of Jefferson.
Same here.
All I need to know about Islam I learned from Winston Churchill.
“I would disagree. Know thine enemy.”
Lat and long and elevation is quite enough information. And target description.
And this article wasn’t a “learn your enemy”, it was a call to understand them, embrace their ideas, see the good in them, so that their “moderate” friends can help us.
Like Nazism, Islam needs to be eradicated. Their 15 minutes need to wind to a close.
