Cain sounded good for a while, but he’s been sliding downward with the more he talks. At least we have an honest idea of where he stands. Got no idea where a lot of these people stand on just about everything.
Freedom OF religion Herman, not freedom FROM religion. It works for all of them or none. Recognition of Sharia is a completely different topic. The people of the town do have a reason for concern, but they can’t choose what rights they choose to recognize.
I love how he says that: “Let’s go back to the fundamental issue that the people are basically saying that they are objecting to,” Cain said. “They are objecting to the fact that Islam is both religion and (a) set of laws, Shariah law. That’s the difference between any one of our other traditional religions where it’s just about religious purposes.”
Which explains why Florida allows no alcohol sales on Sunday, and why gay marriage is illegal in most states. After all, we should oppose any religion that tries to force a set of laws upon us.

:FACEPALM: Robert, that is a false dichotomy. Islam fails in a free society.

ATLien,
Let’s get the BATFE involved. They know what to do with kooky religions. With tanks.

Tam, but it depends on WHICH Kooky Religion has paid the most into one’s Campaign Coffer’s does it not?
Either way, Cain just blew it, thus making more room for Romney. Sigh!

So once dominated by religious law, between lent and Ramadan we probably solve the obesity problem.

It seems to me that Cain knows a political cult when he sees and smells one…
