It seems that many of us who tracked religious references during the Republican candidates’ debate picked up on the jarring line of questioning about Muslims in America that ended by asking Herman Cain how he likes his pizza.
“How do you go from a question mired in bigotry to ‘deep dish or thin crust?’ Shame,” tweeted the Arab American Institute during last night’s debate.
A number of American Muslim organizations were also disappointed in how their community was addressed during event, moderated by CNN’s John King.
Haris Tarin, of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, said Mitt Romney distinguished himself by calling out the legal impossibilities of establishing religious law and extending welcome to people from all faiths, while Cain and Newt Gingrich “fed into the sharia fear-mongering,” which has become a litmus test for candidates.
