@shawnlshs - Fear mongering, i.e., trying to instill hatred toward a group in order to create some sort of alliance for your larger cause, is a political trick used for a million years. Romney is a trickster. There is no threat from Muslims. Forget it, put it out of your head. There ARE a very few radical people in some different places, but we are figuring out who they are, and taking appropriate action. Romney is a bad guy.

@nicholas9999 That's your debate??? That's it? Get some reality? He is right....it is time to fight back

[nicholas9999]

@nicholas9999 it's not disgusting....it's true. You may not agree, but it is in fact true

I do not believe that Kenyans are trying to take over France and South Americans are not blowing themselves up in other people's streets yet either. Of course, if you want to try and equate these things, feel free to move to a state that already has Sharia instead of making excuses for the people trying to bring it. Eurabia is coming, Canada is following and I hope you are not too attached to Pork, Alcohol or Women's Rights.

What venomous hate and double standard hypocrisy, especially after his so called "religious speech" talking about tolerance only when it suits him. He has an entire page of his website directed towards so called "Radical Islamist" Just shows just how ignorant he is. I would think he would be more tolerant considering most Christians believe Mormonism is a deviant religion. Either we are going to believe in our Constitution or we are not. We can't have it both ways.

I agree with him. Everything he said is true. Sad but true.

It is scary that the only presidential candidate that is honest about this, is a Mormon. Three headlines today. One is a Saudi Woman sentenced in court to 200 lashes for being raped. A second is about 80 French Police Officers Hospitalized with wounds after two days of violent rioting by people who would like similar Islamic courts in France. The last, is a criticism of Romney for suggesting that this might be something to worry about.
