quote: In an interview with GQ, Herman Cain goes back to an early theme of his campaign, suggesting American Muslims pose a creeping threat to society. From the transcript: Devin Gordon: Do you think that there is a greater tendency among the Muslim faith for that kind of extremism? Continue Reading Herman Cain: That would be a judgment call that I'm probably not qualified to make, because I can't speak on behalf of the entire Muslim community. I have talked with Muslims that are peaceful Muslims. And I have had one very well known Muslim voice say to me directly that a majority of Muslims share the extremist views. ... Devin Gordon: Do you think he's right? Herman Cain: Yes, because that's his community. That's his community. I can't tell you his name, but he is a very prominent voice in the Muslim community, and he said that. I find it unsettling that a man running for the highest office in the land could say something like this and still be held as a credible contender.

Not all of us consider him credible.

Mainstream media outlets do.

they thought palin was credible long after she had a chance... his time will come hopefully sooner rather than later

This is the same guy that believes all blacks are brainwashed to vote Democratic. And the same one that believes his 9-9-9 plan will be fair for everyone, regardless of income. The man has serious issues with reality and facts.

FR What's wrong with what he said? He said he believed his source when it was the source who offered that opinion.

Your buddy Wilbur would call that hearsay and doesnt count. ironic indeed for Cain to use an anyonymous source yet slam Politico for doing the same thing. Anybody, including you can make the same claim of "someone told me". The truth of the fact is that if most Muslims were extremist you would have had more "home grown" incidents than you have had. So here you have one contender for the highest office in land, making generalisations on hearsay, yet you think its okay !

Rob..... Who said the following not so long back. Can you say "Flip Flop" quote: Those in attendance, like most Muslim Americans, are peaceful Muslims and patriotic Americans whose good will is often drowned out by the reprehensible actions of jihadists.

If you think someone else's opinion is right, that means it is also your opinion. Joe: "Titanic is the greatest movie ever. Am I right?" Tom: "Yes." Both Joe and Tom think Titanic is the greatest movie ever.

How is it a flip flop? One can hold extremist views and remain peaceful... Not every extremist blows themselves up, or runs around screaming Allauh au Ackbar.

It sounds to me, based on your words, that you're trying to say that a person can be both a peaceful, patriotic American and a Muslim Extremist. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Why shouldn't that be possible. You can believe that women should not be allowed out without a male chaperon, should wear a burkha, and only have sex with her husband after marriage without blowing up cars or arming teenagers. Lots of people have beliefs that they do not act on.

Possibly like other peaceful patriotic Americans who are also extremists, like a talk-radio host who never actually shoots a a registered Democratic - but just talks about doing it. Views are views - actions are actions. Americans have the right to verbally express extremist views, as long as they do not act on them. All other Americans have the right to watch them carefully, on the chance that they might act on those views, so that they can be stopped. Other Americans also have the right, if not an obligation, not to elect them to public office or place them in position of public trust (Two examples - policemen who express views of white supremacy should be dismissd from the police force - and no one should vote for some of the announced GOP presidential candidates)

There are a lot of extremists who don't go around blowing up clinics and fed buildings or shooting doctors in church.

quote: I have had one very well known Muslim voice say to me directly that a majority of Muslims share the extremist views. In my 60 years of life experience, whenever someone says something like Cain said without revealing the name of their anonymous source - they're actually saying what they really believe, but don't have the courage to say "This is what I believe" - so they invent an anonymous source to give them cover. Like when a little child does something wrong and gets caught - and then blames it on their imaginary friend.

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Not all of us consider him credible. At least Cain didn't seal his grades while in college persuing a degree in mathematics and computer science. He was pretty "transparent" in that wasn't he. And who cares what he thinks about muslims?

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Not all of us consider him credible. Quoted for truth....some of us( ahem....me) have dismissed him all along as a faux candidate,polluting the process simply to sell books and raise his speaking fees [:)]
