I find this question full of landmines, and so far the Donald has shown an uncommon skill in handling, deflecting perfectly. His laugh at the original question was instant and natural and the perfect way to discredit, deflect, and avoid the landmine.
Today, before or after Ben Carson said a Muslim should not be president , Trump said "it could happen", while at the same time saying we have a problem with many Muslims.
It seems he has an uncanny knack of speaking through the eye of the needle.
Yes, very good. He did. I suspect this whole thing is going to give Trump another rise in the polls.
He is only saying (and Dr. Carson for that matter) what most people believe but won’t say publically due to fear of being labeled a bigot and a racist:
Muslim’s true belief is at dynamic odds with the ideals of America, her traditions, and her Constitution. Someone—and all of us—need to start pointing it out, and now.
The ideals of the Founders, no matter that some of these men were flawed in some ways—slavery for example—but the ideals are still eternal. The ideal that ALL Men are created equal actually applies to blacks and women—it just took more time for many to realize this, given the social norms of the times.
But look at the ideals of Islam:
—Infidels converted or killed
—Women infidels as sex slaves
—Tax on Jews and Christians or death
—Allows beating of wives
—Punishment of cutting off limbs, whippings, and beheadings
—Homosexuals hung or flung of buildings—basically, homosexuals put to death
All of these are “PART” of Muslim law.
In contrast, the 8th amendment to the US Constitution says:
“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
Since the Koran is the direct word of Allah to Mohammad, it literally cannot be ignored or rewritten.
Allah demands specific and VERY, EXTREMELY cruel punishments for a host of offenses.
Totally opposed to the US Constitution.
SPREAD the word!
