Minnesota gubernatorial candidate under fire for calling Islam “antithesis of Constitution”

Jihad Watch:    Minnesota gubernatorial candidate under fire for calling Islam “antithesis of Constitution”

“Mustafa…said she is deeply disturbed by Parrish’s comments, saying they demonstrate a lack of understanding about Islam. She said Muslims in America have demonstrated a respect for both the U.S. Constitution and their religion and his comments are unfair to the Muslim men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces.”

Note the sleight of hand. Parrish said that “Islam, Sharia and the Quran are the antithesis of the U.S. Constitution.” In response, Mustafa “said Muslims in America have demonstrated a respect for both the U.S. Constitution and their religion and his comments are unfair to the Muslim men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces.”

Parrish wasn’t talking about Muslims, he was talking about Islam. The two are conflated endlessly, but they are not the same, any more than Christians and Christianity are the same. Any given Christian may not love his neighbor and turn the other cheek, but Christianity nonetheless still teaches that they should. Any given Muslim, like any other human being of any faith or no faith, will have a variety of priorities, perspectives, influences, etc. He or she will not necessarily live 100% in accord with everything that Islam teaches, but that does not change what Islam teaches. The central question here, of whether or not Islam is compatible with the U.S. Constitution, is not answered by what some or even many Muslims do or do not do. It can only be answered by examining the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. read more

15 Comments on Minnesota gubernatorial candidate under fire for calling Islam “antithesis of Constitution”

  1. It won’t be long and Parrish will tell his fellow Minnesotans, “you want the truth, you can’t handle the truth”. Then he will go away, knowing his state is a lost cause.

  2. As a continuation…
    When the Christians (living in the modern times) have religious nut jobs that try to start Caliphates and have sex slaves, we (apparently) send in the ATF to burn them all alive.

  3. Then Parrish must respond by pointing out the art of conflation used by his detractors. They are accusing him of bigotry in order to shut him up.

    All conservatives must stop being shoved on their heels by Leftist tactics to stop the argument dead in its tracks and start pointing out how they do it. Every time, the Left must be called out for its anti-First Amendment. Parrish could make a fine example of islam being incompatible with the constitution on this one example, alone.

    Again, the example of analysis, above, is exactly how Parrish should respond to this. Instead, he will be pushed back on his heels, trying to defend himself against “islamaphobia.” Sickening.

  4. Muslim are pigs allah is a mother fuc , go fuc your self Muslim . Take your 72 virgenes to hell . Get the hell out of the USA if you don’t like it. Make sure you don’t come back , take your camels with you.🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖

  5. Go to a muslime country and try to find “American like” freedom, life-styles, and rights to pursuit life, liberty, and happiness – you’ll find oppression, intolerance, deceit, and death.

    The irony however is that muslime behavior and ethics are not unlike DNC “strategery” we’ll read when they release the memo.

  6. Soooo… crashing OUR planes, into OUR buildings, and killing OUR people… is how they show, “respect,” to OUR U.S. Constitution?! >:-( >:-( >:-(

    Have another bunker-buster, shiiteball. >:-(
