Read my comments above, they answer your questions.  I'm beginning to believe you are the bigot here.  You can't have your cake and eat it too.  You keep flip flopping between opining about individual belief levels and Religion itself.  They are not the same thing.  And to try to make a comparison between the two is idiotic.  So I'll say this again, hopefully it sinks in this time.  I'm only concerned about an individual putting religion above common sense, no matter the religion.  Get it???????

If not, then start another thread that compares just religions and their political acceptance levels.  Take the individual element out of it.[/quote]

This response really doesn't seem to fit the discussion it followed. Are you sure that you read my post?

This conversation began with me asking for examples of polices that a Muslim President might espouse that were unacceptable. The example provided was a hypothetical restriction on eating pork. I asked if you have the same concern about a Jewish President. Both religions have the same restriction. It is not clear to me why you would not treat both hypothetical examples similarly.

You say you are only concerned about an individual putting religion above common sense [b](I believe you mean common good)[/b]. If that is the case, do you have this concern about members of all religions, or just those who practice Islam? If it is about members of all religions, we are on the same page. But, then I am not sure why you are debating me.

Not the PP but I've bolded the problem here. The PP means common sense. Since you are a socialist (you support Sanders), you only understand it from the point of view of the common good, so you think that's what he means.  The PP understands the issue from the point of view of the individual, not the group. [/quote]

This must be an odd number post. In your even numbered posts, you cry about people calling you names. In your add number posts, you call people names. I bet you didn't think I would catch on to that pattern.

The poster previously used the phrase "common good". "Common good" actually fits the context of the sentence better than "common sense". Perhaps you might use some "common sense" and let the poster to speak for himself? That would be for the "common good".

Calling you a socialist is calling you names? If you support Bernie Sanders, who says himself he's a socialist, you obviously love socialist philosophies. That's not name calling, it's simply fact. Unless you think being a socialist is something to be ashamed of? I support Ted Cruz. He's a conservative and a Tea Party member. If you called me a conservative or told me I support the Tea Party, you'd be right on both counts. Again, fact.[/quote]

Being a supporter of the Tea Party and a supporter of Ted Cruz is certainly something you ought to be ashamed of...  future histories will have you right in there with peopke like the the Know Nothings and George Wallace, the backward-thinkers...[/quote]
