...Clinton claims:

“Not all Islamists are alike. Turkey and Iran are both governed by parties with religious roots, but their models and behavior are radically different. There are plenty of political parties with religious affiliations—Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim—that respect the rules of democratic politics. The suggestion that faithful Muslims cannot thrive in a democracy is insulting, dangerous, and wrong. They do it in this country every day.”

... What’s striking about the administration’s position is the lack of the most basic logic. True, a political party with religious affiliations might “respect the rules of democratic politics.” But that doesn’t mean parties favoring a Sharia state in which, say, Muslims who convert to another religion are sentenced to death, fall into that category. There is no proof that Islamist parties “respect the rules of democratic politics” except their willingness to run in elections. The Nazis and Communists also ran in elections. So what?

And what is a moderate Muslim?

Islam is like the KKK: It’s just the radical ones you need to worry about.

There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. If you don’t answer the call and follow instructions, you are DEAD.

Islam is more than a religion: It is also a government of which Iran is the best example.

The Arab Spring was planned by Hillary, Dorhn and Ayers, and Code Pink. The goal was to make each country, including Syria, members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Furthermove, if a Muslim sincerely changes religions, he risks being eventually hunted down and beheaded. A loyalty oath for Muslims who renounce Islam and become citizens loyal to the Constitution is futile because lying in order to spread Islam is a virtue to them and encouraged.

What I find ridiculous is they have now, openly, moved to the next level, i.e. from “moderate muslims” to promoting “moderate Islamists” as acceptable.

This is nothing new. For at least 21 yrs, the “moderate/reformist” faction of the Islamic Regime in Iran has been the darling of EU gov’ts & various US administrations. Because they could do business thru the ‘moderate’ faction w/ the Islamic Republic.

Even the Taliban in the mid 90s, w/ their full Sharia and all, was perfectly acceptable - until 2001 happened.

That’s why it has never been for humanitarian reasons, democracy or human rights.

Anyone have that link to Hillary’s plaintive cry after the Benghazi that was along the lines of “But we helped them, how could they do this?!”

If voting hasn’t made Democrats more moderate-quite thhe opposite- what makes them think it will work on people who think blowing up their kid to kill your kids is acceptable?
