I know he apologized, but I'm not going to let my guard down. Herman Cain calls himself an American, are you kidding me? This man totally disrespected the American Muslim community and that bothers me. I think the only reason why he is apologizing is because he need everyones vote and support.Deep down he knows that the Muslim community is apart of America. All apologies are not true. Some apologies are fake. Hermain Cain sounds like an average bigot. Cain may have apologized for his comments about Muslims to the Muslim community, but they'll NEVER be forgotten. Cain may have put a bandaid on the part that is scarred and wounded in order to keep it from being infected, but that dark mark where the scar and wound healed will be there forever as a rememberance of how it hurt the first time. That dark scar and wound that healed will never be forgotten. Hermain Cain knew good and well what he was planning to say and he knew what his intentions were before he became public with all this. He knew what he wanted to say before he decided to become a Republican Candidate for President of the United States. He is a grown man, not a child! Children do things out of line when they haven't been taught about something specific not just yet but will be taught the difference between right and wrong when parents discipline them. But again this is a grown man we're talking about. Hermain Cain knew better, so there is no excuse whatsoever. Now, Hermain Cain claims to be a "United States Constitution man". In my opinion, he can't be a United States Constitutional man and say he support the residents of Mumfeesboro, Tennessee when they say they don't want a mosque built in their town. I support the Muslim Americans and according to the United States Constitution, people in the United States have freedom of religion, which means Muslims are Americans also and have every right to build mosques anywhere and any place they want to. The United States of America is a free country! Also, Hermain Cain said he would not hire a Muslim in his cabinet. Hermain Cain is an ignorant man because everyone knows that this is called discrimination. You can't live in the United States of America and not know the fact that not hiring a person because of their religion or skin color is against the law and the United States Constitution. But what really makes me sick on the stomach is that these people in Mumfeesboro, Tennesse that are filled with hatred in their hearts have the nerve to call Muslims Americans terriorist (and I do not like saying that word), but it was the Muslim American who suffered a great deal of tragedy when their mosque was destroyed by the same hateful people who call Muslim Americans hurtful names. Those hateful residents in Mumfeesboro, Tennessee are hyprocrites and I hope those hateful residents of that town don't consider themselves as Christians, because Christians are suppose to be loving, kind, tolerant, and patient. Christians are also suppose to respect other people's culture. Muslim Americans are human beings too and have rights in the United States as well. I love you my Muslim brothers and sisters!

Well, he has my money and my support. I was a raving, liberal (with 'NO WAR' written on my arms in felt tip pen), all the way back to the '70's. 9/11 changed that for me, as it did for MANY Americans.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, Muslim-Americans are treated exactly the same as anyone else. No one is beating up Muslims, or burning down mosques. Quite frankly, I think Muslim-Americans could have a little more compassion for their fellow citizens, in regard to this matter. Is tolerence only 'one-sided'?
I think what Mr. Cain saw yesterday (meeting the Imam), was a fellow black man who had endured the same stereotyping. They found a common bond. That is how you change bias.
