For example, an excerpt...
“Do these same witnesses to the One God also believe in the last days and the prophets of Allah?” The Sheikh wondered.It seems very clear that he does believe "Allah" is who Christians worship.
I told him many if not most (Christians) not only accept the “witness” and the prophets and last days, but moreover would additionally believe in a broad sense, in the other four Pillars of Islam: 1) Salat, regular prayer; 2) Zakah, giving to the poor; 3) Siym, fasting; 4) Hajj, pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
I will never forget his look as he declared, “This is revolutionary.”
The question arises whom Islam considers as “infidels.” The militants argue that non-Muslims are infidels and therefore, worthy of death. Kafers (infidels) are those who do not accept the Shahadah.
Think of it, if those who follow Torah and Gospels would witness and believe in their hearts that God is one, could they be removed from the list of who are considered as “infidels”? This new common ground can help undercut the radical’s message of hate and their view of the glory of martyrdom through killing of infidels.
He seems to be rather fanatical and "I've got the answer" in his past, and now it seems that he fervently believes that he has found the key to reconciliation between Islam and Judeo-Christianity.
Since I've admitted to, back in the day, voting for the guy... I guess my reputation (such as it may have been) is now tarnished beyond repair. Forever to be associated with an accused terrorist supporter which will now be used against me, here, whenever it may be convenient to do so. Heaven help me if he's actually convicted.
I'll attempt to take some solace in that at least he hasn't used me as a reference for his business and I never appointed him to any UN position, although, those things likely never would have happened if I wasn't such an idiot back then so I guess, in the end, those things are my fault too.

I’m not on my regular computer tonight, so I can’t look it up for you, but the perp in question when a congressman worked on anti abortion/right to life bill with Hunter and ??? (another conserv. congressman, can’t remember, I will get it tomorrow. ) The perp was a very respected pro life guy at that time, in the 80’s. That’s the only association that I found. George Bush is pro life as well. Are you saying you have any other association for
Hunter?
Now, if you’re trying to dream up some grand conspiracy that Hunter is soft on Islamists, just keep digging.
Did you notice the several Muslim Groups websites Ron Paul for President and the Muslim newspapers in Michigan that endorsed him??
One of the 5 pillars of islam the one relating to hajj, the pilgrimage to makkah is laughable, as mohammadan apartheid dictates non-muslims may not even set foot there.
As for the shahaddah, it affirms that one belief mohammad is the messenger of the one God. Help me out here, but what Christian believes the murdering Arab thief, rapist, genocidal, warmongering deceiver is the latest messenger of God?
Yes, I'm being hard here, not as a personal attack, but to drive home a point.... as Christians so not see eyes to eye with this whitewash, neither will RoP true believers see this as some sort of bridge between cultures or religion. The ulema has final say, after all, and there's always the fun and games the salafi "true believers" will have with bidahris and the belief in the prophecy of 72 devient sects that have strayed from islam.
My personal take (feel free to disagree) from living is islmic nations, among both feral koranimals and those unlucky enough to be simply claimed by the "RoP" cult due to lottery of birth is not to look into their scripture for common ground, but to take them away from it, and ultimately deal with them as one party with principles and integrity to another.
