Why would it be bad? Hmm lets see....
Islam pretty much contradicts what the US Constitution(the foundation of our society) stands for.Of course the PC crowd will pitch a fit, call me a bigot etc for saying so but that is the reality.Just to be clear though, I am not saying all muslims are bad people but I am saying their major core belief system(Islam) does not fit with our way of life, they can live here but in way should be in such a high office as a Congressman, Senator, President, Supreme Court Justice etc.This explains why we have seemingly peaceful muslims who live here for years then end up committing honor killings on their daughters(case in Texas) or beheading their wives(actual case in NY a couple years back) That is how we end up with the Ft Hood shootings or the multiple terrorist plots foiled since 9/11 that were being planned by muslims who are US citizens.The Ft Hood shooter was a Major in the US Army, American born etc but put his faith above his country as many muslims do.
Another reason, we are in a war against Islamic terrorism and while most muslims are not terrorists and not rooting for the terrorists publicly, many muslims the world over with a wink and nod, some have admitted so in polls.The leaders of muslims nations such as Yemen are cooperative with the US anti terrorism efforts but the citizens of said nations hate us etc and are with the terrorists, certainly in spirit.There is no doubt many muslims inside the US who are sympathetic to the cause of Bin Laden etc.
I dislike all religion to be honest but can live with catholics(Scalia for example, who does not let his religious beliefs influence his decisions contrary to what the libs claim, from what I've seen he always backs his opinions up with the law) but a muslim on the supreme court? That would be a disaster for this country.
Represenative Keith Ellison(D-Minnesota) is a muslim and member of congress.While attending Law School in 1989/1990, Ellison wrote several columns supporting Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam in addition to suggesting that there be a seperate state for black residents.Another article suggested that affirmative action served as a "sneaky" way of reparations for slavery.Ellision also asserted that 9/11 was a "Reichstag Fire" in the US, implying the Bush Admin was behind it and blamed Islam the way the Nazis blaimed communists.Ellison's involvement with the nation of Islam was much longer than the "18 month" time frame he claimed when the issue was raised during his first campaign in addition to his false claims of ignorance to the anti-semetism which Farrakhan and the Nation are known for.Sounds a lot like Obama's claims of ignorance after 20 years with Reverend Wright eh? Get real.
Now imagine if had 20 or 30 muslim votes in the house(that followed Ellision's line of thinking as many, esp those in his league do) or even more? Perhaps a few Senators? esp in key positions. A muslim or two on the Supreme Court? A Muslim President? Supreme Court vote on issues regarding national defense involving a muslim terrorists? or women's rights(you really can't argue the culture is not pro female, even Bill Maher recognizes that) Can you not see where this would cause major problems? This post is not racism, bigotry etc just honest look at things.The PM of the UK said it best when he said multiculturalism has failed, libs will never admit it but the proof is out there for everyone to see.
