Trump to CNN: 'I love the Muslims'
CNN ^ | 09/19/2015 | MJ Lee

Posted on 09/19/2015 7:21:47 PM PDT by ScottWalkerForPresident2016

Donald Trump on Saturday responded to a question from CNN about whether Muslims pose a danger to the country, saying: "I love the Muslims. I think they're great people."

The Republican presidential front-runner made the comment after addressing high school students here at their homecoming Saturday night.

During a question-and-answer session with students, Trump was unable to avoid being asked about the latest political controversy dogging his campaign: his decision not to correct a supporter this week who called President Barack Obama a Muslim.

One student told Trump that she considered Muslim-Americans to be an important segment of the country. They asked whether the billionaire businessman would consider putting a Muslim in his Cabinet or on his ticket.

"Oh, absolutely," Trump responded. "No problem with that."

Instead of opening yet another can of worms he decided to defuse it, just like the Carly face comment.

That was my immediate thought as well.
.............................................

The Fiorina comment was nothing but crude. He should have apologized. The question in New Hampshire was nothing but FACT. Trump cowered. The ignorance level here concerning Islam is off the charts.

Trump's numbers would be exploding if he spoke Truth to power about the disease that Is Islam worldwide. Now he's done.

Thanks, FreeReign. I do not understand how anyone could disagree with us on this.

No one. When people can vote from the grave for decades after their passing we can have no proper idea of the validity of any voter or election.

Did he say anything about loving their religion? No - he did not. He was answering a student’s question and here’s a news flash for you genius - God loves the Muslims too - that’s why he sent His son Jesus into the world to die for sinners - and that includes all - for ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. You are totally overreacting - not one person running for office is going to stand in front of a group of students, parents and cameras and say they hate Muslims. And, here’s another news flash for you - it isn’t only Christians and Jews who are being killed and beheaded in the Middle East - but other Muslims as well. I don’t understand your hate-filled comment, but I am a female. So, now I’m done with you and your hateful rhetoric.

I’m sure out of the hundreds of millions of people born Muslim, many are good people who just want to live ordinary lives. It’s not like they are allowed to leave, at least in Muslim countries. But nobody converts to Islam for good reasons.

You do know the guy in New Hampshire is a regular on Imus in The morning and the questioning was all a part of a joke?

Trump is a master at deflecting incoming torpedoes. Saying “he loves Muslims”, cuts the legs off his attackers. They can not attack him anymore regarding the “Obama is a Muslim” event at the town hall.

Next poll, Trump will be flirting 40.

So either he’s telling the truth and has a soft spot for Muslims, or you’re supporting a liar.

Hmmm...

Sure he would hire a Muslim, assuming he/she is qualified for the job. It’s a high bar to be qualified though, so the person would have to check out in every way.

I grew up surrounded by Muslim families. My 2 best childhood friends were Muslims. Indonesia has more Muslims than any other country in the world. India has 200 million Muslims. But how many terrorists have originated in Indonesia or India?

The problem Muslims are all in the middle-east. Almost all radical Muslims are from Middle-East & Pakistan.

Where did I say anything about hating Muslims? And I'm the one overreacting?

How about Donny just tell the truth about what Islam truly represents and who Muhammed was and what he stood for? And point out that anyone who has half a brain knows that Islam's endgame is a worldwide caliphate which is totally at odds with the US Constitution.

(nice of you to waste your time on a liar and a troll)

I love Muslims too. Christians are supposed to love their enemies.
