(10,749 posts)From the Muslim world on November 7: We're disappointed in seeing the United States elect a Mormon cult member as its president. We're very concerned about this development and its affect on the Christian world.

He believes it's fun to smash his children's faces in a plate of butter.
Hacks off a kids hair because "IT WASN'T RIGHT"
Goes on a family vacation with the family pet strapped to the top of the car wiping dog schit off his windshield at 65mph...the splatter effect must have been awesome to cars behind him.
He is invited to a social, and bitches about the cookies.
He accuses the President of leaking secrets, promptly hops on a plane and reveals Great Britain's secrets.
Rudely insults the host, by commenting on the lack luster attention he received. Had to ONE UP them. Make the opening ceremonies of this Olympics all about him.
He treats his own wife's accomplishment as another trip to the Nail Lady. Oh, that, I wont be watching.
Now this, I was afraid he would wow them in Poland with old Pollock jokes...ask people at the wailing wall why do they wear those beanies?
This man could seriously screw up any kind of relationships Obama has spent years making. Russia has to be pissed being called the SOVIET UNION...I mean god damn, the man believes the Soviet union still exists, and it poses a threat....and no one else is concerned?
HE AIN'T RIGHT

Why he's still trying to play to his base at this point is dumbfounding but I think it shows just how little love for him there is from the wingnuts. The campaign must be seeing signs of low turnout among Repubs which means he's in big trouble.

(142 posts)I'd like to point out that not all of the 1.6 billion Muslims are Islamists. Many prefer secular or moderate forms of government. However, he is basically saying that the people of Tunisia and Morocco didn't vote the way we wanted them to.
cthulu2016
(10,960 posts)So your 1.6 billion figure is way too high.
Islamist and Islamic are different words with very different meanings.
If the US elected a Christian theocrat I don't think all Christians in th world would favor that. Hopefully most Christians in the US would not even favor that.
Romney is a walking turd but I am no going to pitch a fit because someone criticizes theocratic government (which is what Islamist refers to), even hypocritically.

(5,364 posts)Just more flinging of hunks of raw meat at the coveted "base" that previously were Perry/Bachman/Gingrich/Cain/Santorum zealots. I believe his handlers pretty much know he lost secular moderates, and so they're desperate to wring the last bit of support from the nutjob contingent; who while inveterate dislikers of President Obama, may "stay home" because he's not ideologically pure enough.
Don't forget: The hunters of a soon extinct species went after them with a fervor that belied its sustainability.

(62,325 posts)Moncef Marzouki, is a well known Human Rights Activist who was arrested many times for standing up to the Ben Ami regime.
His job of leading Tunisia at this time is difficult enough, he doesn't need this kind of ignorant statement coming from a US Presidential candidate.
His struggle will be hard enough against the opposition, who maybe Romney would have liked better. Marzouki is a moderate. Romney displays intense ignorance by making that remark AND bigotry. Marzouki is a well educated man who went to school in France, and founded Human Rights organizations even under the regime of Ben Ali.
He himself is concerned about the image of Tunisia since many of its laws are still in place from the old regime. As a moderate he will have to deal with the extremists who did not all leave with the dictator and will be fighting to get back into power. If anything, the US should be helping him rather than undermining him.

(14,177 posts)I know these kinds of people. They are my family, ex-friends(I might put up with family, but not these clowns), and a few neighbors. Yes, they really are out there and they really do think every Muslim is a terrorist. One of them told me they come here to get jobs driving cabs and buses so they can case places to find a good place to blow up. One warned me they are going to steal the women so they can get green cards and citizenship. I won't point this out to any conservatives I know because I really don't want to give him any points in their eyes.
