Sarah Palin Welcomes Muslims to GOP

Amid a growing distrust among her conservative Christian supporters of anything Islamic, Sarah Palin goes on record stating emphatically that Republicans and the McCain-Palin 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.

Conservative means "Bible believer"?

That's news to me..

Great video. I'm glad you're covering this issue. It's disheartening to see all the anti-Islam, thus "anti-American" propoganda that nobody seems to be upset about.

This is bigotry. Period. And it shouldn't be tolerated. Thanks again for showing this.

"Listen to Sean Hannity".

That's the worst fucking advice I've heard today.

IMO, Sarah Palin is a dopey funadamentalist Christian that any Islamic fundemantalist would be blood enemies with, and whom any moderate Muslim should fear, just as I as an agnostic fear her. If now she is flip flopping and talking nice about Muslims it is probably due to her wanting to be the Republican nominee for prez and she won't be able to be that without the support of the globalist/corporate fascist wing of the party, which is "evil", but not crazy fundamentalist Christian at all.

@doctorkickass No I'm actually starting to prefer communism over capitolism, I mean Justin Bieber really crossed the line for me.

When fags like Justin Bieber can get millions of dollars, while Africans are dieing from hunger, it really feels strange to accept capitolism.

@glow322 As a Muslim, Sarah Palin said some bad things about the Mosque in Ground Zero, therefore I hate her.

As a human, I realize that only educated and rational-minded people should even become a politician, therefore I support Ron Paul.

RON PAUL 2012!!!

obama and is a muslim and a communist is an oxymoron ... muslims hate communists

[HerroHerrar]

these people are shame to the USA

[glow322]

As a Muslim, I personally like Sarah Palin, she seems like a genuine nice person, just because some of her supporters are ignorant doesn't mean it's what she stands for...and I don't think all Republicans agree with what the people in this video have said...Just like how not all Muslims support terrorists.

Thats pretty narrow minded, martin luther King Jr was a Christian preacher, as is jessie Jackson...not to mention christians like Kucinich,nader and other progressives.
