Fiorina sings the praises of Islam, Ottoman Empire 'greatest civilization'
Wilmington Examiner ^ | 8/9/15 | Timothy Whiteman

Posted on 09/16/2015 3:41:50 PM PDT by jimbo123

Former CEO and Chairwoman of the Board of Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina may still be hearing the fading echoes of the praise heaped upon her by network pundits and GOP party insiders after her being informally declared the winner of the lower-tier Republican candidates debate last Aug. 6, 2015. In the wake of the nationally televised debate, the gushing of television personalities and happily spilled ink from establishment Republican stalwarts certainly gave the impression that Fiorina has become the new darling of the conservative movement.

However, with a nation still in mourning for the mass slaughter of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed thousands, then-CEO Fiorina delivered a speech on Sept. 26, 2001 entitled "Technology, Business and Our Way of Life: What's Next" in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Initially expressing her personal shock and sorrow of the terrorist attack, Fiorina also made clear rather early in her speech of her worries regarding the safety and security of everyone in the Hewlett-Packard family. Fiorina also ensured in the opening breaths of her speech to express her "Concern for the security of our employees who are of Middle Eastern descent or who practice the Muslim religion here in the US and abroad." OK, fair enough.

The remainder of her talk was a rather college classroom-style lecture on corporate leadership. Until the end of her speech, that is. It was then that Fiorina made clear that she rated the Islamic world as "a civilization that was the greatest in the world."

Guess that’s why they needed Hungarian traitors to give them all their cannon designs at Lepanto.

The ignorant cow should spend a year or two in an Islamic country before she makes statements like this.

This was way back in 2001, not long after the tragedy. A lot of American politicians were still caught into that “Religion Of Peace” B.S., some still are. W. was too.
Has her thinking ‘evolved’ maybe?

What’s with all the self-loathing among Western elites? Mommy didn’t love you enough? Daddy didn’t see you make the game-winning touchdown?

I never really liked her, now I know why. She only got a seat in the big boy debate by an affirmative action rule change. Yet the media is still talking about how she’s “surging” in the polls, from 2% to 4% apparently.

Well, we just heard Linda Graham say in the losers’ debate that the government should support the faith of Christians, Jews, and Mulims, “including who they can marry.” Surely, he knows that Muslim men can have four wives, and in the UK they are all spitting out rafts of kids and all of them living on the dole. Get him outta here,

As for Fiorina, hopefully Trump won’t have heard this outrageously stupid comment or he may make the comment that she has the face for a burka...and that would be so bad!
