I think we have a definite right to oppose a clear and present danger in our communities.

OK, when can I vote for this guy, and how far do I have to drive to do it?

[higgmeister]

BUMP for great justice!

I disagree with the legal principle of incorporation which makes the Constitution apply to states. I don’t believe a state has to guarantee religious liberty, or any other kind of liberty, just because the Constitution of the US says so. The US Constitution should apply to the federal government alone.

That is my take on Cain’s take.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Thanks, Herman. I wish more candidates would say this.

We separate church and state; the Musims unite it, and are therefore inherently seditious. We might be able to tolerate a Muslim religious population of minor amounts, which we should keep that way by discouraging immigration. But, we should not encourage grand mosques which act as political and military indoctrination centers.

~After reading the article, Cain’s argument still is not clear to me. They devoted more space to the rebuttal of a local politician than they did to Cain’s remarks. Is Cain saying that a community can abrogate property rights (a Muslim using his property as he sees fit) or abrogate the actual practice of Islam? Or is he saying that a community has the right to ban the application of Shariah law?

[rodguy911]

Islam never was a religion but a political way of life masquerading as a religion. Does anyone dare compare it to a true religion

Mosques, Islamic centers they are nothing more than terror hideouts in the US preparing for the soft tyranny of takeover one day.

To allow these moooslims to build them all over at will usually with overseas money is like allowing the nazis to build bases anywhere they choose. Its crazy.

[sanjuanbob]

Stay the course Herman...people are beginning to appreciate your honest and direct approach.

[Tax-chick]

If municipalities have the authority to approve/disapprove any other building, they have the same authority over a mosque. Let ‘em rent an empty big-box store.

'Stephen Fotopulos, executive director of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, said Cain's comments "demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of the U.S. Constitution."'

My @$$!!!! Hermain Cain is showing the same common sense as our founding fathers - who knew the difference between strictly a religion and a poltical-sovereign-religion.

I wonder if Fotopoulos can tell us what happened to the "Church of England" in the 13 colonies after American independence?

You see, the "Church of England" included an oath of political allegiance to the King in their "religion" and their clergy were not only required to take that oath, but also required to lead the congregation in the same oath at all church services.

Our founding fathers would have none of that and the Church of England congregations that would not change their religion to reflect republican values (becoming the Episcopal Church) were forced to flee the country.

The Left is again showing their ignorancy or dishonesty.

Hear Allen West explain eloquently WHY Muslims are a danger to America in this short video;

We need a place for both Cain and this man in the new Republican administration in 2012.

[Windflier]

That’s a mighty powerful statement. Good on Herman for having the guts to say it.

[Grut]

It doesn't matter if the local Muslims are talking up Sharia and the Ummah or whatever, they still have a constitutional right to peaceably assemble to do it. And while a building permit can be denied to any religious group for any neutral reason, it can't be denied because the town fathers don't like them. That's all settled law, and Cain is just making a fool of himself if he's saying differently.

[Dick Bachert]

YOU GO, HERMAN!
The more I hear from Herman, the more I like him.

[Cheetahcat]

Him and West Both get it,I have yet to hear that from Willard,or the rest of them!

[GOPJ]

Islam is a tight combination of religion and politics. We have the right to ban it on that basis... If Hitler had included the concept of a God that only backed German Nazi ideas, I doubt the people who fought World War II would have let them open 'Nazi churches' here...

Maybe there's a compromise...if IF and that's a BiG "IF" they are willing to separate out their 'religious' beliefs from the crazy political stuff - and absolutely NO war talk in the mosque - no killing talk - no " I speak for Allah" stuff - then it would be OK. But as it is now they should NOT be granted religious standing for what is primarily a paramilitary operation functioning under the guise of religion.

[wolfman23601]

I generally like Cain, but he is wrong on this one. The constitution is clear.

[Renata Maree]

Herman really doesn’t seem to be afraid to tell it like it is.

[PGalt]

HOORAY Herman Cain! Mosque/barracks/base camp ALERT!

Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
