The largest Muslim civil liberties group in the United States on Wednesday condemned Newt Gingrich for saying he would only hire Muslims to his administration if they renounced the use of Islam's Shariah law as a tool for U.S. government.

Calling Gingrich "one of the nation's worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry," the Council of American Islamic Relations suggested the Republican presidential candidate is a segregationist.

WE LOVE YOU NEWT!!!!!!

[Sacajaweau]

He’s absolutely right.

[MeganC]

I guess I’m voting for Newt! Thanks to all the radical Muslims for helping me to make up my mind because if they hate Newt then he’s the guy for me!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Damn! Another good reason to vote for Newt.

[Steely Tom]

Two of the largest muslim civil liberties groups...

There's your oxymoron, right there.

Why don't they go agitate for civil liberties in some islamic paradise? Maybe because they kinda want to go on breathing? Numbnuts.

By your enemies we will know you, Newt.

[Jim Robinson]

Drill, baby, drill!! Go, Newt!!

[Paladin2]

They need to also renounce Mad Mo’ and Jihad.

[Travis McGee]

Right on, Newt!

[PRePublic]

More power to Newt. I love it.
Please fricking-CAIR-Islamic-lobby. DO denounce him. Mainstream America would love it.

[Chgogal]

CAIR or any other Sharia/Muslim Group: Hear this. I WILL NOT honor any religion that honors Honor Killing. Period.

[JimRed]

The renunciaton of Sharia by a Muslim counts for nothing anyway, as taqiyya requires them to lie to the Infidel for the advancement of Islam.

All non-citizen Muslims should have been deported starting 9/12/01, and all citizen Muslims put under surveillance.

[Wordkraft]

This is the clincher!

I will vote for Newt Gingrich!

[Maceman]

I would love to see candidate Gingrich (and President Gingrich) take on CAIR (Council of Angry Islamic Radicals). Something that is long overdue.

BTW, I thought Gingrich’s answer to the question about whether he would allow Muslims in his administration was astute and brilliant. Wish I could find it so I could post it here.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I praise him for doing so.

[Maceman]

His outdated political ideas look backward to a time when Catholics and Jews were vilified and their faiths called a threat

You mean a time like, say, YESTERDAY, in any majority Muslim country?

[albie]

Newt has my vote!!

[Fishtalk]

Oh my goodness he’s taking on CAIR.

This ought to be interesting.

[GourmetDan]

So... a moslem would never claim to have renounced sharia law and be lying about it, would they?

Would they?

[Drill Thrawl]

Anything that pisses of CAIR is a good thing in my book.

[LearsFool]

The more I hear about Newt’s positions, the more I like him.

[jpsb]

If Muslims want to live under Shariah law they should immigrate to a country that honors Shariah law and that is NOT the USA. Newt is 100% correct here. Here the Constitution of the United States is the law of the land, not Shariah. Don’t like it? Don’t let the screen door hit you on the way out.

[Bigh4u2]

“It would depend entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Shariah,” Gingrich said.

“A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat, a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat,” Gingrich told the crowd, adding that he’s “totally opposed” to Shariah law being applied in American courts and favors a federal law that “preempts” its use.

[rawcatslyentist]

Next thing ya know Newt will require Nazis to renounce Naziism, and communists to renounce communism.

sharia is NOT separable from islame! They are parts of the same body.

[PubliusMM]

I’m liking Newt more and more. Commonsense positions on most issues is a refreshing change from the mental pablum customarily coming out of DC.
There are still a number of issues on which I don’t agree with him (illegal immigration is one), but he’s certainly got the spine that many inside the beltway don’t have.

[cicero2k]

May as well be a campaign ad for Newt, this.

[SandRat]

I Like It! If CAIR doesn’t like it TOUGH! They can all go back to what ever turd-hole they claim to have originated from.

[Fresh Wind]

A little bit of advice for Muslims:

You want to live in this country? Fine, then you abide by our laws and legal system.

You don’t want to do that?

Then GTFO.

[Revolting cat!]

[IbJensen]

Why hire muslims under any circumstances?

They’re all liars and all believe in the divinity of the child preditor Mo-HAM-med.

[Ronin]

I would ban Muslims completely because their religion says it is OK to lie — even under oath — if the lie “benefits Islam”.

That being the case, no oath by any Muslim can ever be taken at face value. No contract with a Muslim is worth the paper it is printed on.

They simply cannot be depended on to follow their oath and act in the best interests of the United States if there is any possibility that doing so would hurt what they perceive to be Islamic interests.

Sorry. That’s the way it is.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

That’ll get a 3-5 pt bump for the comment, and another 5-7 cuz it pi$$ed off CAIR. Twoofer, Newt! Nice.

[HIDEK6]

Didn’t Kennedy make it a point that Canon Law would not be a part of his presidency?

[garjog]

His answer is why he would make such a great conservative president. He makes clear, even to liberals, why we have problems with Islam in this nation. Muslims people are great. Sharia law in intolerable. It forbids democracy for one of many reasons.

Without someone like Newt in charge, with political correctness on the move this will be the result in about 50 years:

[true believer forever]

The question was about a Muslim running for President - which would be different than a Muslim being part of his administration...

CAIR said the release was prompted by the candidate’s remarks Tuesday in Columbia when, asked if he would ever endorse a Muslim running for president.

“It would depend entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Shariah,” Gingrich said.

“A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat, a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat,” Gingrich told the crowd, adding that he’s “totally opposed” to Shariah law being applied in American courts and favors a federal law that “preempts” its use.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Hoot for Newt!

(PLease... somebody... help me come up with a positive buzz phrase better than that..)

So I can Root for Newt!

[bramps]

Newt, please give it back to them in spades when come at you with the ‘bigotry’ accusations.

[rabidralph]

Here's the other one, maybe it's just irony: 'His outdated political ideas look backward to a time when Catholics and Jews were vilified and their faiths called a threat," said CAIR Legislative Director Corey Sayolor in a statement.'

So moslems don't consider christianity a threat?

[itsahoot]

They could just move to Oklahoma where the Supreme Court has ruled that Oklahoma cannot prohibit Sharia.

[jpsb]

10th Circuit Court not the Supreme Court, let’s hope the Supreme Count is as crazy as the 10th Circuit.

[pallis]

Liking Newt more already.

[bayouranger]

BTTT! Light em up, Newt!

[stylin19a]

Hey Newt, sharia allows them to lie to you.

[Gator113]

I love it when I pick the right guy and Newt is certainly the right guy.

GO NEWT GO....

[Gritty]

That does it...

Now I'm voting for NEWT!!

[ConfidentConservative]

This announcement should give Newt Gingrich more Votes!

[Grunthor]

“Calling Gingrich “one of the nation’s worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry,” the Council of American Islamic Relations suggested the Republican presidential candidate is a segregationist.”

Well he’s got the right enemies.

[FourPeas]

CAIR does realize that being renounced by a terrorist-sympathizing organization is A GOOD THING, don't they?

[katiedidit1]

Which is another issue that Newt addressed..activist judges and this is a prime example as to why Newt is right on both issues; the judges and sharia law.

[katiedidit1]

LOL! Gator, we knew Newt was the man all along:) now if we can just convince SC and Fla
