We are not at war with Islam'--Barack Obama
"All this talk and demagoguery and
rhetoric is not going to solve the problem. I'm not going to demonize and demagogue and declare war on an entire religion. That's just plain dangerous Hillary Clinton
DIssing a religion....who on earth would want to do that? That is so totally goofy in the first place. But it is divisive to boot. And it is not what Democratic leaders have fought hard for for years
Well, Marianne, you apparently didn't read the Democratic Platform you posted.....you missed this part.....
Respecting Faith and Service
Democrats know that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith in many forms and the countless acts of justice, mercy, and tolerance it inspires.
Oh....and there's this:
We reject Donald Trumps vilification of Muslims. It violates the religious freedom that is the bedrock of our country and feeds into ISIS nefarious narrative. It also alienates people and countries who are crucial to defeating terrorism; the vast majority of Muslims believe in a future of peace and tolerance
And this:
We will do everything we can to protect religious minorities and the fundamental right of freedom of religion
