    The Muslims candidates cited so far don't seem to be conservatives to me. You guys do know that there are muslim liberals even as Muslims right? The version of Islam that ISIS follows is a heretical cult within the whole religion, like saying that the Westboro Baptists are representative of all Christians

    That sort of attitude puts you in direct opposition to what America is supposed to stand for. America is nearly unique among nations in that we are defined not by residence, race or history but by a set of commonly held beliefs among our populace. I have always found it odd that many who claim to be America's staunchest supporters have strong opinions that are directly antithetical to the set of beliefs that define us.

    I heard about a new investment, explosive prayer rugs. And the prophets are a soarin' Get in while you can. A great ROI.

    Somehow it seems ironic that a muslim would mention hate crimes. Given their attitudes towards apostates.

    It is a good thing whenever one of our citizens decides to participate in our system and run for office. It does not matter if I agree or disagree with their politics, their participation strengthens our republic.

    I am sure there are. I don't do platform politics. Religion or lack of is of no concern to me. Integrity tops all.

    Liberals hate Christian conservatives and hope to use islam as a foil to traditional American values

    They think muslims will be easy to get rid of after the Christians are defeated

    Is this why conservatives are always saying and doing things that will make the Caliphate more successful? so that they can use them as allies against the liberals? Except for being Muslim the Caliphate is a pretty thoroughgoing example of everything conservatives hold dear.

    Now, they used to torture them and then burn them at the stake

    But good for them not doing that anymore. Howsabout cons get to work on accepting gays, the equality of women, and less repressive morality overall, at least to the point where we can tell an evangelistic Christian Sermon and a fundamentalist Fatwa apart.

    Liberals have already DONE that btw

    And stop deflecting. Answer the question, are the Christian conservatives allied with ISIS to overthrow the West and why do they try so hard to accomplish the Caliphate's main aims if they are not. It wouldn't be the first time. The Knights Templar allied with the Hashishin so much that even Rashid al din Sinan is reputed to have said he was hard pressed to know what side he was on.

    No sir. I have come to understand the only logic here is that of the master manipulators who stir their respective sides into believing the other side is the enemy. So many eat it up hook line and sinker.

    I confess i am prejudice against green olives.

    Not the "Islamos", ISIS, a small and reviled group of heretics who attack muslims more than they do Christians. Conservative Christians agree with ISIS in almost all things other than proper forms of punishment. Liberals don't see eye to eye with them in any way.

    Is this why the conservatives have now allied with them? They think that once ISIS has taken us over and established Sharia they can then gain support for their Dominion and start a great religious war to immolate America and its freedom?

    You are wrong

    As I pointed out liberals promote islam as a counter balance to traditional Christianity

    I know the point you wre trying to make but it wont fly

    Liberals do not accept Jesus and neither do the islams

    And that is the most fundimenral fact of all

    Actually I do accept Jesus, I think the Beatitudes are a handbook for being a good person and if we all followed them the world would be a much better place.

    Stop hiding behind your Savior, answer the question. Why have fundamentalist Christian conservatives allied themselves with a sect of murderous fanatics? Surely they're not obtuse enough that they don't realize the harm they are doing to themselves and most of the Western cultured world besides?

    I keep forgetting that every liberal on this forum is the exception to the majority

    As for your question I have no idea what you are talking about

    We search for the most rational muslum fanatics available

    At the moment that is the Kurds and the Saudi’s

    We also support some of the rebels in syria

    but no one really knows whose side they are on today

    Or which side they will be on tomorrow

    If you ever figure it out let me know

    Read Denise Speilberg's Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an: Islam and the Founders. The same issues were discussed 200 years ago. Strange how the times have changed but the issues remain the same.

    Funny how right wingers claim to be conservatives but hate Muslim conservatives unless they are from Saudi Arabia (world's most sexist country and supporter of 9/11 terrorists). Well, actually, knowing what hypocrites and double dealers they are, this comes as no surprise.

    LOL. While Muslims in Iran condemned 9/11 terrorists, Saudis applauded.

    The Saudis did applaud while your hero Bush held hands with its leader.

    Not strange at all and well known to students of history. This war between Christianity and Islam has been going on a very long time and in Jefferson's day Islamic pirates were raising havoc with American shipping.
