Apparently, unlike most everything else, Mitt Romney has not flip-flopped on his position on jihad and Islam.
Back in July 2009, I wrote in a post entitled, "Why Romney Won't be President" that Romney would not be president because he said something so fundamentally and unabashedly wrong about America's greatest mortal threat that he was unfit to be President: "Jihadism Is not part of Islam." Yes, he said that.
That is frightening coming from a Presidential candidate. Instead of spending the ensuing years studying jihad, Romney appears hardwired for delusion in his latest remarks. The fact that Romney knows peaceful Muslims is purely anecdotal. I believe that most Muslims are secular and have no desire to strap one on. But that does not mean that Islam is not inherently violent. The ideology is the most violent and radical on the face of the earth. What history books is Romney reading……Dr. Seuss? How did Romney miss over 270 million victims in over a millennium of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations and enslavements? How did Romney miss the close to 18,000 Islamic attacks since 911? How did Romney miss the revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, etc.? How did Romney miss the jihad on the Jews and Christians and Hindus and Sikhs?
There are hundreds of millions of jihadis, what's Romney smokin'?
Mitt Romney: Islam is not an inherently violent faith Cedar Rapids, Ia. – Mitt Romney responded today to a call for a tougher stance against Muslims by saying that most Muslims are peaceful people who deserve respect.
The issue came up during a question-and-answer session at a campaign stop here this morning. A man rose from the audience, claimed he had many Muslim friends, but said, “I have never heard one Muslim condemn Islamic jihad or terrorism. I see Islamic jihad as one of the greatest threats to America and the western world. Are you going to continue to give Islam and Islamic jihad in this country a pass like everybody before you continues to do? The only people that call Islam a religion of peace are the Muslims, and they are the most violent religion in the world.”
Romney said radical, violent Islamists pose a threat to Americans and others around the world. However, he said, “they take a very different view of Islam than the Muslims I know.” He noted that he was raised in the Detroit area, which has a large Muslim population. “They are peace-loving and America-loving individuals. I believe that very sincerely. I believe people of the Islamic faith do not have to subscribe to the idea of radical, violent jihadism.”
What you believe is irrelevant, Mr. Romney. Just the facts, and they fly in the face of your fantasy. Romney sounds like ………. Obama.
Of course not. It just appeals to a lot of inherently violent people.
If this statement was made in 2011, just maybe Mitt ‘has evolved’ on the issue. I await his updates.
Mitt needs to bone up on Islam and its founder. His ignorance of history is immense.

...the Qurayza were a peaceful community of farmers and tradesmen who eventually surrendered to Muhammad without a fight. Although the prophet of Islam had been wise enough not to order the wholesale slaughter of the first two tribes following their defeat (which certainly would have stiffened the resistance of the Qurayza), there was no practical reason for Muhammad to repress his genocidal urges once the last tribe had surrendered their wealth and power.
Over 800 surrendered men and boys (and at least one woman) from the Qurayza tribe were beheaded by the prophet of Islam in a bloodbath that is of acute embarrassment to today’s Muslim apologists. It is an episode that is not only completely at odds with the idea that Islam is a peaceful religion, but also the claim that it is the heir to Christianity, since even that religion’s most dedicated critics could hardly imagine Jesus and his disciples doing such a thing.
Islam and Mormonism
mitt romney is an inherently stupid jackass
Islam by its very self-definition is extremely, maximally aggressive and violent. That some Moslems don’t practice terrorism or infiltration and subjugation of us infidels is nice. But they’re not following Islam , see Koran and Hadiths. Romney is a fool in this regard and should be kept away from defense or foreign policy!!!!!
Romney is a Mormon minus the second ‘m’
Romney is inherently & rerminally stupid. Dumb as a bag of hammers, sharp as a bowling ball and as honest Satan.
Somebody put a stake through his heart and put him out of our misery.
The dude is a total douchebag.
Mitt, you are a complete idiot.
Muslims are dangerous and violent.
Romney is clearly lying or knows nothing about the Koran/Quran.......
Spoken like the sleazy used car salesman that he is. This greedy assclown would sell the machete to the flaming jihadi that would use it to hack his head off if he thought he could make a quick buck off the deal.
Whole heartedly agree.
After doing a lot of studying of Islam I have he same view as Muhammad ibn abdul Wahhab, which is the same as the Muslims who are trying to kill you and me and our families.
I don't have any trouble understanding their outlook and understand why they also kill those Muslim slackers, and cafeteria Muslims , and Infidel collaborators , who are sitting on their hands when they should be out subjugating , converting or killing us Kafirs.
Those so-called Muslims are heretics and have lost their protection and in many cases are worse than us non-believers. -Tom
“Joseph Smith studied Islam before founding Mormonism.”
I did not know this....That really puts things in perspective.
He’s a putz.
Let’s hope Donald does NOT appoint him to any post in the administration.
Shows exactly where Romney stands spiritually.
In the same condemned camp as all muslims.
It show a remarkable lack of knowledge about Islam. He should read Pious X, Thomas Aquineas, St. John of Damascus, St. John Bosco, Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, The Adam’ses, and others. Plus 1400 years of history.
Romney needs to go back to school and study ACTUAL history as opposed to the democrat revised history course.
How else did Mohammed force his ideals on everyone? By using democrat ideals...riots!!
Trump needs to ditch this turd
