Herman Cain: Tennessee mosque builders want Sharia law

Said Breivik before murdering over 90 innocent people...

It is the Law of the United State's Constitution, that gives any Religious Group the right to build, worship, and even get approval from their States Health Dept for a Religious Cemeteries for their people to be buried in..No ONE can stop them to build a Mosque or have their own Cemetery. Any Religious Group has that right/ so stop using the tax payers monies and read up on the LAWS of the CONSTITUTION.and get a life.. marge

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

That's from a little thing called the Constitution.

Religion annoys me all to hell and part of me would love for us to have the right to prevent mosques from being built, because then we could get rid of ALL churches and places of worship and get rid of the Westboro Baptist Church (or at the very least tax them), but the fact is, we don't. And if we did, we wouldn't be America.

TeaBaggers love to throw around Constitution this, Founding Fathers that, but even when it comes to the most blatant, cut and dry case of Constitutional interpretation (not that there's a whole lot of ways to interpret that part of the first amendment), they can't let that get in the way of their racism and xenophobia.

How many Churches are built in the Arab/Muslim World, of the Middle East. Or even allowed to practive their Christian religion? Yes it is a one sided situation, they want, but not allow in their country

Just make all religion illegal.

Islam is more a political party like the KKK and the American Nazi Party than a religion. Italy doesn't does not recognize Islam as a religion, so there isn't the trouble there as elsewhere in the world and in the US.

It is interesting to see right wing Christians imposing their hateful attitudes toward another religious group all in the name of creating a safe America. These are the same people who have allowed the invasion of our privacy at airports, in our bedrooms, and now in our churches/mosques and synagogues. It is extremely hypocritical to state that the fear here is Muslims trying to enact Sharia law, while Christians have made many attempts to impose their biblical law by desiring to put up the 10 commandments in government buildings, changing our anthems to include god, and trying to make changes to the constitution to include biblical law. Since when do elected officials commit to religious activities during government business? It seems that many of these GOP want to be presidents have found the wrong “calling”. Instead of running for public office they should become preachers. The real concern for America and its constitutional fears comes from the Christian zealots, not Islam.

The problem is that groups who came to America came to become Americans and assimilate into the culture. Today, most come not to assimilate, but to make us change to fit them.

It is no different than when the Europeans invaded and changed the American Indian nations, except now it is happening to us.

The problem for me is as American Indian, our ways were illegal until the late 1970s. Even now the government refuses to consider our beliefs to be a religion. So although I don't care for islam, I have to respect their right to believe whatever way they see fit. Isn't that what it should be all about,,,respecting other people's religion just as they should respect yours.
I don't understand these big world religions that have to have everyone all fit in the same peg all believing the samething when any reasonable person knows that these beliefs are very internalized and NO ONE believes exactly the same, even when they belong to the same church! When it comes down to it,,,it has to be about power and control and not really about the creator and how we practice our beliefs!
BTW One small little clue folks,,,if someone has their hand out for payment (tithes & etc) IT ISN'T REAL!!! Real spirituality is found inside yourself in the quite meditations of your mind and YOU CAN'T BUY IT and no one else can give it to you. Not for any amount of money!
So quite fighting over religious beliefs because it's all about controlling and milking the masses.

I guess Cain and his right wing mob forget that the history of the United States of America includes the freedom to practice one’s own religion without the government interfering. For a group that swears to follow the Constitution and the Bible they sure pick and choose which passages they want to follow and ignore what they want. I guess Cain forget he is not considered a whole person and he, his wife, and his family are not supposed to vote. I guess unless you are not a White land owner you are not allowed to vote. I guess he forgot if you do not love or respect your fellow man and if you ever tell a lie you are a sinner.

I don’t like the right wing telling me what to but I respect their right to openly discuss their ideas. I dislike Nazis, skinheads, and communists but respect they have a right to talk about it. What I don’t accept is any group trying to push their agenda on everyone because that is un-American.

Who made the right wing God to be all-seeing and all-knowing of my bedroom, my religion, my relationship with God, my relationship with my family my relationship with my wife, etc? This is not the Dark Ages, this is not Iran and we are not a theocracy.

The facts are Muslims fought for the Colonies in the Revolutionary War and for the USA in every war since. So have Christians, Jews, and Hindus, Mormons, Gays, African Americans, Asians, American Indians, members of the KKK, the Birch Society and others have fought for the USA. The fabric of such a diverse population is one of our strengths.

The bottom line is the unless you are an American Indian you are an alien to this country and according to the right wing Christian agenda all aliens should be sent home. This is America, love it or leave it!

Keep the muslims law to the muslim countries. USA's not their country so they should shut the F up.

Cain is a right wing Christian trying to push his agenda on the rest of us. The right wing is our Taliban trying to run our lives and have their noses in our bedrooms and private business. For a group that swears by the bible and Constitution they sure try to break a lot of what these documents stand for. Shame on them and shame on anyone that wants to turn America into a right wing Christine theocracy. We might as well move to Iran, at least they don't try to hide it.

Why should be cater to this group when they hate out country and way of life. If then prove to me that they want peace and harmony and are willing to obey and uphold our laws as US citizens, or applying to be citizens, then maybe I can accept. Until then. NO WAY!!

One irrefutable fact we know for sure.Muslims and Jihadists love Democrats,Liberals and Progressives.Why? They have the same values,they dislike Americans who fight for the Constitutional rights of Americans and believes in the greatness of America.There is a reason why most Muslims live in Muslims countries and there is a reason why Christians live in their countries and perhaps the twain should never meet,Why?? Because we do believe in two different Gods which is the major problem.There God says,"Convert or kill all non Muslims', and our God says, Love your neighbors as yourself.The difference is unambiguous.

Islamists make up less than 3% of the vote in Tennessee, the risk of Sharia Law being implemented based on a mosque being built is zero. We have hundreds of mosques in the country, and not even a mention of Sharia law until it became the republican rallying cry. There are laws associated with Christianity too, they are called commandments. Breaking many of those commandments is not illegal (some, like thou shalt not kill, or murder, are). He seems to be trying to create fear in order to unify in opposition to something that isn't a threat.

This is unbelievable that anyone in their right mind would agree with Herman Cain. He is an ignorant idiot. Anyone who is this intolerant, should not even be considered for the job of the President of the United States. I pray that Allah grants him tolerance.

The Talibanic application of Shariah, which most sane people would have healthy objections to, is not representative of the entire Muslim community. There are some very nice articles that accurately explain what the Sacred Law is such as 'Understanding Islamic Law' (http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.org/understanding-islam/legal-rulings/52-understanding-islamic-law.html), 'What is a Fatwa?' (http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.org/understanding-islam/legal-rulings/44-what-is-a-fatwa.html), ‘Jihad: A Misunderstood Concept from Islam' (http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.org/understanding-islam/legal-rulings/44-what-is-a-fatwa.html), and others besides. But more to the point, what proof does Herman Cain (R) have to support his libelous claims apart from slander and calumny? If he has incontestable evidence then put it up.

just listen to the libturds, they got a marxist for a president, and now they want the state to have sharia law.

You can not separate the religion out of their laws. There is no problem with the Muslim faith BUT the Muslim faith is interwined with their own laws. By saying they have a right to have their Muslim religion you are saying they have a right to change our laws - you can not separate the two.

I agree with Cain.We should be allowed to ban mosquesin our communities along with church's and synagougs and any other type of religion.They are responsible for more deaths then anything else in human history.
