I am against Sharia. So is Perry. As far as moslems go I have quotes from Churchill and others who point out the reality of what is called islam. I agree with those quotes and do not think islam works in western countries.
Perry supports Gitmo and has no problem with interrogation techniques. He is a strong supporter of Israel. There is no question he is a Christian. Perry is neutral overall when it comes to islam. Yep, he has had relations with the Aga Khan's folks and did attend the openings of their centers a couple of times. That is about it. If you can find some kind of ongoing and strenuous support of islam please let me know. I have spoke with some of Perry's people about terror and he supports using profiling.
I am comfortable with Perry when it comes to islam. As you have pointed out and I have too I am not too keen on islam. I have looked in to Perry's past actions regarding islam and just cannot find much to be really concerned about. The fact that I support Perry after looking at this topic may or may not say much to you or others but considering my view of islam and the fact that I have not been a Perry supporter in the past may indicate to some that it just is not that big of a deal. To me it is not.
If in the past Perry had actively supported islam you would have a point regarding a "double standard" but I have not found Perry to have been such a person.
You can be as comfortable with him as you want but I will continue to speak out about anyone who is even neutral about the influence of Islam in this country. Perry calls himself a Christian but here is what scripture says about his association with those of the Islamic faith.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9
2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Take note of the last sentence. You will not see me ever supporting or voting for Perry.
