I do not have a problem with the Muslim. I do how ever have a problem with their law!
What part of this did you not get.
Why you insist on ignoring the facts as they exist in other countries, is beyond me.
I can't make this more simple than it has been made all ready.
PS: I'm not repeating myself again. ~ good day ~
Sure you could make it more simple - just answer "Yes." or "No." to a yes or no question.
Do you believe that every single Muslim in America would impose Sharia law in this country if they were in a position to make that happen?
I'm not even contesting you having a problem with Sharia law. Really. I can understand that position. But that's not the point. The point is that a presidential candidate, because of his problem with Sharia, will not appoint any Muslims to his administration or to any federal bench. In order for him to make that announcement, he must believe that every single Muslim in America, if he or she got the chance, would impose Sharia law. Otherwise making an announcement like that would be simple anti-Muslim bigotry.

Unfortunate for the Muslim, but in the area of trust, they have a negative mark above their head. In order to establish trust, they will have to work really, really, hard at it.
So, rinse and repeat: We love the Muslim, we do not, love their law.
Not every one of them, but enough of them to make a difference.

Finally, something close to an answer! So you would agree that in the end, the answer to the yes or no question is a qualified no. You would argue that a Muslim who worked "really, really hard" to show they would not impose Sharia in the US should be allowed to serve their country.
I have to say that it's sad that you stereotype all Muslims in America - and give any Muslim in America "a negative mark" when it comes to "the area of trust." However, I guess it's not all bad, you're willing to establish trust if they work really really hard at it. Good for you for leaving the door open a crack - if a Muslim works really really hard to earn your trust, they just might be able to do it!
However, Cain does not agree with you. He thinks that even a Muslim who worked "really really hard" to "establish trust" should not be allowed a place in his administration or on a federal bench. Do you agree with that?

Read, and find out if you still agree with it. I'm done with it, and have been done with your twisting of my words to suit you.

I'm not arguing about whether Sharia is a threat to America! For the sake of the discussion in this thread only, I'll even agree with you that Sharia is a threat to America.
When Cain (and to an extent you) say "I will not appoint any Muslims to my administration because Sharia is a threat to America," there is an assumption made within the statement. That assumption is that every Muslim in America, if they could, would impose Sharia law in America. It is literally prejudice. You may be able to support a candidate like that, but I would not vote for a candidate for office who publicly expresses prejudice against an entire religious group of people. Cain believes that every single Muslim in America would impose Sharia if they were in a position to do so. That is prejudice.

"Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today."
So there are your odds, care to wager the bet? How do we insure that the one appointed to office is not one out of the four? Do you have a solution for that?

So because there is a minority of Muslims who want to introduce Sharia law into the UK, no Muslim in the US should be allowed to serve in government? I think there's got to be an easier (and less prejudicial) solution than "Well, might as well impose an unconstitutional religious test!"
How do we assure that one appointed to office isn't one of the four (in the UK)? Maybe judge a person based on their actions throughout their career, rather than assume that somebody who has been an otherwise honorable public or private servant has actually been waiting for the opportunity to impose Sharia law in the US once they get a chance?

Makes a person wonder how Obama got into the Whitehouse.
