It’s Time for a Muslim-Moderated Presidential Debate
The Daily Beast ^ | December 23, 2015 | Dean Obeidallah, Palestinian/American comedian

Posted on 12/23/2015 12:04:17 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

If all these candidates are going to pop off about Islam and Muslims, how’s about they at least have to do it front of one?

Last Tuesday’s GOP debates were all about Muslims. The word “Islam” or derivations of it like “Islamic” were mentioned 27 times in the primetime debate and 31 times during the earlier “kid’s table” debate. If you had played a drinking game where you had to do a shot of whiskey every time the word “Islam” was uttered during those GOP debates, you would’ve been dead about 30 minutes in.

And the discussion about Islam during the two debates went from bad to ugly to Trump. It was like a UFC cage match with the Republican candidates taking turns bashing Muslims. (Only Lindsey Graham pushed back, noting that 3,500 Muslim-Americans are proudly serving in our military.)

But the one thing missing in this Muslim-a-thon was a real-life Muslim on the stage. Yes, it would’ve been great to see a Muslim GOP presidential candidate, but who are we kidding? We are talking the Republican Party, where less than 50 percent even think Islam should be legal in the United States. It’s more likely a black man will be elected grand wizard of the Klan than a Muslim American will get the GOP nomination for any office....

The Dems elected a Muslim and it hasn’t turned out so well. Why should the GOP repeat the experiment?

Oh my....I guess I will live to see the caliphate at this rate? Useful tools the left is for sharia types. I want to be able to see the look in their eyes right before they get the sharia treatment.

The moderate "taqiyya" Muslims are more dangerous, in the long run, than are the overt jihadists.

A comparison being the stealth socialists (Gramsci, Fabians, Frankfurt School etc) were more effective in the long run than overt Communists Lenin, Stalin and Mao. Internal sabotage is more deadly than overt external war.

(Only Lindsey Graham pushed back, noting that 3,500 Muslim-Americans are proudly serving in our military.)

When they are not busy tossing hand grenades into our soldiers' tents, or bushwhacking and killing soldiers at Ft. Hood...

To be fair, probably the majority of the 3,500 are loyal servicemen (although their first loyalty is sworn to Satan ... so maybe this isn't all that comforting), but there are enough bad apples to cause havoc.

Come to think of it, it is always God and Country (God first), and this is right. But when your 'god' is Satan, and this becomes 'Satan and Country' - with Satan first - this is very wrong.

During WW2, did we have Japanese people asking questions of Presidential candidates? How about Nazis? (Other than Joe Kennedy)

Every time one of them kills someone in the name of their perv-prophet, they are moderating the debate.

Sure, makes as much sense as having a debate in 1940 run by the Nazi’s.

yes, let’s have Obama moderate the next R debate! (not that we will be able to tell much difference from CNN doing it)

Maybe we should have had Goebbels moderate a Democrat debate during WW II.

It’s time for a Republican moderated debate of Democratic candidates.

There, now, lets see them defend the logic of that request.

What I would like to see is sort of the reverse: A scholarly Koranic debate between various factions of Muslims moderated by a presidential candidate.

I say bring it. The questions asked by the muslim would tell us about him than the candidates.

Plus Trump loves confrontation. He eats it up. So bring it.
