NewsCore) - WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain on Sunday defended his opposition to a new mosque in Tennessee, expressing concern about Shariah law and declaring that Americans "have the right" to ban mosques in their communities.

Cain, who stirred controversy this year by saying he would be uncomfortable appointing a Muslim to his cabinet if elected, first expressed concern Thursday about the controversial mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn. That mosque has been the subject of demonstrations and legal challenges in the wake of the controversy over the so-called "Ground Zero mosque" in New York City.

Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," Cain said he came out against the Tennessee mosque after talking to members of that community. He said the site is "hallowed ground" to Murfreesboro residents and that they're concerned about "the intentions of trying to get Shariah law" -- the code governing conduct in Islamic societies.

"It's not just a mosque for religious purposes. This is what the people are objecting to," he said

[47of74]

7. Like Godfathers and Pizza Ranch...

[Odin2005]

10. Pizza Ranch supports Pukes? NOOOOOOOOO!

I love their chicken bacon ranch pizza! Say it ain't so! :cry:

[MineralMan]

2. Yah? Well a lot of the churches in Tennessee are not just

churches for religious purposes either. So? Republicans think it's OK for churches to be active politically. Why not mosques, too, eh?

Freaking bigoted cretins!

[theoldman]

3. Fortunately Cain will never be president of the US.

Maybe he should read the Constitution of the US and learn about freedom of religion.

[RC]

16. He did.He didn't see anything about allowing mooslums to have Mosques

He is probably one of those idiots that thinks the 'separation of church and state' means to keep the government out of religion, but religion can be in government.

Education means lying to get things the way you want them.

[On the Road]

4. I Originally Thought He Had a Shot at the Nomination

but he's turning out to be a real amateur. Has no idea what he's doing.

[mimi85]

20. You DID?

Did anyone really think he had a shot?? This guy is going to be little more than a asterisk in a dusty ole history book one of these days (if at all). Not even worth discussing.

BTW, love your pic of The Band.

[Chipper Chat]

5. Can you imagine the outrage if Obama

suggested banning synagogues in the US? If he said "It's not just a synagogue for religious purposes" or other such crap.
OMG - Limbaugh would be yelling 'impeachment - when do we want it-NOW'.

[47of74]

6. Or churches

[lunatica]

8. Xenophobia, the new Republican family international value

[kestrel91316]

9. "First they came for the Muslims........" - what we have here is the sort of

slippery slope situation the FUNDIES are always warning about.

But then, the RW IS all about projection.....

Sigh.

[rpannier]

11. The site is hallowed ground...

They will make up anything to get their way

[No Elephants]

25. Aside from the lie, what better place for a place of worship than hallowed ground.

Should we have only porn shops on hallowed ground?

[plumbob]

12. "not just for religious purposes" - imagine! People actually LIVING

their religious beliefs!! OMG! Noooooooooooooooooo!

If people do that, stealing and lying and adultery and all the other fun stuff will have to stop!


Much better to build churches which are only for religious purposes - to see and be seen, like the Pharisees, oop, wait a minute...

[Ash_F]

23. Good one.

"Much better to build churches which are only for religious purposes - to see and be seen, like the Pharisees, oop, wait a minute..." - :)

[DesertFlower]

13. he's a racist SOB.

[alp227]

14. Repigs say this cuz they're afraid of saying "reform the 1st amendment" n/t

[Thor_MN]

15. So Cain supports opposition to the 10 Commandments by communities as well.

He would have to, or he would be a hypocritical...

[Jackpine Radical]

19. Somehow, I don't think the prospect of hypocrisy bothers him.

More like it's a badge of honor.

[Glimmer of Hope]

17. The Republican party attracts all sorts of trash.

[lib2DaBone]

18. People starving.. no jobs.. and of COURSE his focus is on Mosques....

Puh-leeze...

[SoapBox]

21. ...frack'n psycho wing nut job. nt

[DLine]

22. Only conservatives would pick a black guy...

... as their biggest bigot.

[No Elephants]

24. Who cares? He's never going to be the Republican nominee. Oh, and there is a Constitution.

As if all Christian churches have been only for religion since Roe v. Wade anyway.

Mess with the freedom of religion clause and many will rise up and use whatever favorable court rulings you may get to sue you, you ridiculous, foolish bigots.

[slackmaster]

26. Tax the mosques and the churches

:nuke:
