[ConservativeStatement]

Muslim leaders in Massachusetts fired back Friday at gubernatorial candidate Tim Cahill, who they accused of making "bigoted" statements after Gov. Deval Patrick met with members of the Muslim community.

In a statement, a coalition of Muslim leaders called Cahill’s remarks "bigoted ... undignified" and "anti-democratic," and said the governor has a right to meet with members of all religious backgrounds.

Last weekend, Patrick met with around 1,000 Massachusetts Muslim leaders who wanted to raise awareness about their faith and become more civically engaged.

“raise awareness about their faith.”

I think we’ve had just about enough of that.

I am FULLY aware of Islam.

[bicyclerepair]

I just don’t get why demrats are so friendly with those who worship a pedophile.

[hal ogen]

mooslims are enemies of civilization. duval patrick is a freak and a fool.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Typical Alinksy-Muhammad Tactics.

The most heinous and barbaric crime in this world would be to stop an individual to think freely. And when such a crime is legalised in the form of a religion, one can easily imagine how disastrous it can be. Islam is such a religion.

Islam imposes a threat to the whole world which is far worse than deforestation, nuclear destruction or AIDS. It is an insidious, devilish disease creeping into the veins of the world. Every individual must realise the destructive and evil nature of this religion, for it eats away at the very foundation of humanity which is an individual's ability to think individually and act accordingly.

Stage 1:
Start immigrating - move into a country quietly

Stage 2:
Begin starting churches: “learning centers”
community helps: food etc.

Stage 3:
Political activism: demanding rights, denounce
derogatory comments/press etc.

Stage 4:
Get elected, pass laws favoring rights etc. move toward
political majority

Stage 5:
Political control, Sharia Law

Raise awareness of islam?

Let's see, we've had 9/11, numerous attacks on western interests, Sharia law and other countless acts of brutality and barbarity.

I think everyone has a good idea of what islam is all about.

[Pharmboy]

Have these people denounced Islamic acts of terrorism? If someone can show me their past statements on this, then I will not condemn them now...otherwise, they can kiss my *ss in Macy’s window.

As with his position AGAINST RomneyCARE [unlike Baker
and the GOP-RomneyBOTs], independent candidate Cahill has
distinguished himself AGAIN.

FReepers and conservatives MUST support Cahill over
RINO-RomneyCARE-RomneyBOT Baker.

[Sudetenland]

But . . . but . . . but Sharia law is undemocratic.

[Grunthor]

“Muslim leaders who wanted to raise awareness about their faith and become more civically engaged.”

The last time that happened, 3000 of my fellow citizens died.

[dhuynh73]

1. Islam is a violent, evil, sadistic religion. They kill without feeling, live in a fantasy world of machismo and stupidity.

2. Islam should be BANNED from practice in America. It is only a matter of time until a sufficient number of islamic assholes populate our country and commit heinous acts of murder, torture, rape, and sadism. They will eventually destroy our society because our civilization is based on religious tolerance.

3. Deport all muslims. Stop all muslim immigration. Shut down all mosques which are the cells where they plan the destruction of our country.

4. Don't forget. That nice little muslim family down the block is going to receive a call some night soon. And if they refuse to kill their infidel neighbors (you) THEY will be killed. Why do you think NO muslim in America has ever spoken out against islamic terrorists??? Because they would be immediately killed.

[FlyVet]

They left out “deeply hurtful and offensive”. They must be slippin’.

Dang!

Those must be NASTY 'remarks'!!

Is THAT why they are not posted in this thread yet?

[Elsie]

"I fully support equal protection under the law for every American, regardless of race or creed, but this is political correctness run amok," Cahill said after Patrick met with Muslim leaders.

Noting two Muslim Americans recently were arrested in Massachusetts in connection with the probe of the attempted Times Square bombing, Cahill added: "Gov. Patrick should stop playing politics with terrorism and focus on protecting all the citizens of this commonwealth."
