Ya cuz one's religion is determined by his skin color. Hurr durr.
The Bush Administration has been quietly nurturing individuals and parties opposed to the Syrian government in an effort to undermine the regime of President Bashar Assad. Parts of the scheme are outlined in a classified, two-page document that says that the U.S. already is "supporting regular meetings of internal and diaspora Syrian activists" in Europe. The document bluntly expresses the hope that "these meetings will facilitate a more coherent strategy and plan of actions for all anti-Assad activists."
The proposal says part of the effort would be run through a foundation operated by Amar Abdulhamid, a Washington-based member of a Syrian umbrella opposition group known as the National Salvation Front (NSF). The Front includes the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization that for decades supported the violent overthrow of the Syrian government, but now says it seeks peaceful, democratic reform. (In Syria, however, membership in the Brotherhood is still punishable by death.) Another member of the NSF is Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former high-ranking Syrian official and Assad family loyalist who recently went into exile after a political clash with the regime. Representatives of the National Salvation Front, including Abdulhamid, were accorded at least two meetings earlier this year at the White House, which described the sessions as exploratory. Since then, the National Salvation Front has said it intends to open an office in Washington in the near future.
Some of you are literally too stupid to respond to.
That may be elitist, but I earned it by default when you all started talking gobbledygook.
Yes Carson is more than welcome to his opinion, I think most Christians would prefer a Christian POTUS on either side of the spectrum.
But what should be more apparent to you Statesmen is that the Law of the Land is your COTUS, not the Bible or Gospels or selective quotes from Jesus (pbuh)...
That was the founders idea... Secularism.
& so it should stay, because I pray hope that if you do become a theocracy it isn't those radical "Christians", historically Earth's most abhorrent lumps of flesh and bone.
They'd make extreme Shariah Law look like nothing when your daughters are sold for cattle, or when your scientists are being hung drawn and quartered for postulating any theory outside of The Church's decree...
You'd pray for Shariah at that point so you could decapitate the despotic Priests who would be taxing your money to spend it on African diamonds while simultaneously burning witches at the Stake like they still do in Brazil & Africa.
& make no mistake, 99% of you Christians would be deemed heretics.
Then you'd be praying to pay Jizya for Muslim protection.
You can do it all you want. If some one calls you racist for criticism alone they are wrong.
I do think people say racist things and try and act like it is just criticism though and that is where you will get called out.

Ok now I'm going to hear to ask you to quote the hatred & viciousness because I have the benefit of the doubt and repeated the word "radical" but I also put Christian in inverted commas as if to excercise my sarcasm that they're anything to do with Christianity.
What Christian did I "judge"...
Aside from the fact that I can judge whoever I like, that's beside the point.
Quote me please.
(Don't leave out the word radical nor the inverted commas).
I know they are wrong because they don't know what the word means.
If people actually bother to READ what I have been saying for the last 5 years. It's about IDEOLOGY, and that has jack snip to do with someone skin color.

Apparently it is.
Since one can't criticism Islam without being called 'racist'.
Doesn't mean what you said can't be bigoted just because you are talking ideology.

Not everyone is a bigot lol. Talk about painting with a broad brush. Your qualities do not automatically apply to everyone else no matter how much you think they do.
: a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)

Now if certain people think that only pertains to 'race'.
They are sadly misinformed.
