[quote=Anonymous]Carson, Cruz, Trump and Huvkabee, among others, have laid bare the frightening ignorance about Islam and its denominations and disparate ethnic and theological movements.  The fallacy that there is one monolithic Islam whose goal is the destruction of America is dangerous for a variety of reasons, including the implication that a Muslim cannot ever really be a true American because of some innate calling to implement Shatia law.  Of course, it also might also be helpful if Americans understood the difference between Hindis, Sikhs and Muslims.

If I could ask one question of those accusing the President of being "anti-Christian," which is dog whistle code speak for "secret Muslim," it would be along the lines of whether Obama was a Sunni or Shi'a, a Sufi mysticist, a doctrinaire Salafi or Wahhabi, or any one of dozens of other sects or movements.  This sort of basic information is critical to gaining a better understanding of the theology and, more importantly, ideology of a follower of Islam seeking elected office.  [/quote]
