Palin: Muslims are Welcome

Posted on 24 October 2008 by Antonio D. French

Amid a growing distrust among her conservative Christian supporters of anything Islamic, Sarah Palin goes on record stating that Republicans and her ticket welcome all Muslims, adding “it is not acceptable in my book” to discriminate on the basis of religion.

Her message of tolerance comes amid a growing tide of Islamophobia at McCain-Palin presidential rallies in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. How Christian fundamentalists interpret her remarks in the last days of the campaign is anyone’s guess.

    It was Obama that denied Muslims from sitting behind him at his rallies, so much for Unity!

  2. Sam Says:

    Thank you America for sending Palin the hillbilly back to Alaska where she belongs!

    The bigger problem, however, is the ignorance and lack of education on the part of these racist idiots out there who would say things like Obama was a Muslim and that he’d take away their religious freedoms!

    It is those people, specifically, who should not be allowed to vote. People like that would ultimately, if not kept in check, would bring America back to the days of Jim Crow and slavery and God knows what else!
