Would you?


Let's say that they're a left-leaning moderate Muslim, but the faith is still important to them. This person meets the qualifications otherwise (US citizen by birth, at least 35 years old).

Sure but it depends on who they are, their policy and their platform. I don't understand why we put so much emphasis on our candidates religion. That shit shouldn't matter at all.

Of course, as long as their policies line up with my own, but that goes with any presidential candidate. America has had nearly all Christian presidents, and their politics have varied across the board.

Anyone that says no is a racist or an ignorant Trump supporter.

I would love to see an atheist or a Muslim as president.

They'd have to be moderate to win all the middle-America states. Nobody promoting Sharia law and supporting ISIS would have a realstic chance.

All Muslims want to take over a country and force their beliefs on the population,

Now that's not true. Yeah, for some, but others don't want such a thing and have integrated into their new societies just fine.

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American … There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Remember, though, that a lot of people that argue that Muslims are trying to convert everyone also believes that there is some sort of hive-mind at work in Islam and admitting that there are people who integrate just fine would undermine their hive-mind belief.

This defense has never made sense. All your doing with statements like that is justifying their racism or hatred since they could just be like "yes, exactly".

Makes perfect sense

The Europeans are afraid that they are losing power.

Even when other groups are going to the extreme lengths they did, they will make up shit anyway to justify their racism

It's no use trying to reason with racists. You're not going to convince someone who hates you to not hate you just because you plead to them enough. Fuck that

But my point is if they're afraid that they'er going to be taken over or whatever then a defense of "like you guys did", seems like a pretty terrible decision and would only just exacerbate their fear....
