Ahmed, who lives in the Washington DC, area, says she left the Democratic party in 2011 because she could not reconcile her own views with what she considers to be the party's "liberal values" and "incompatibility with Islam".
Ahmed says she believes that Islamic values are most closely aligned with those of the Republican party and that American Muslims would be better off voting for it.
[While] some [of the] social values [of the Democratic party] are good, mostly they promote same sex relations, which are completely forbidden in Islam. I have been extremely disappointed in the Obama administration policies [in this regard].
Muslim Americans are better off being Republicans because Islamic values align with the GOP [the Grand Old Party, another name for the Republicans], such as [the] state of the economy, lower taxes and traditional family values.
@dionysus: It certainly seems as though the human mind is incapable of dealing with the idea that there isn't such a thing as the out-group any more, no such thing as an acceptable target.
Which is a pity, because I'd like to believe that humanity is capable of being more than a mere awakened ape. Sadly, the species appears determined to disappoint me.
Republicans hugging homophobes and extremist Christians. Next they'll be wanting a fascist, and give podiums to those who justify violence.
Except your side actually already does that. If Army of God doesn't represent all Christians Daesh doesn't represent all Muslims

...you were saying?
Why is it so hard for these people to fathom that a few nuts don't speak for the majority?
These folks have no problem separating Eric Rudolph from normal Christians so why is it so hard to separate that Tsarnev kid from normal Muslims?
@Grey Rook
We can rise above this. A good chunk of us have to some degree. Humanity is waking up. The problem is that the un-awakened are in Power. Besides; If humans need an out-group to feel truly human, there's plenty of healthy alternatives: Tyrants, Murderers, Rapists, Robber Barons, etc. If you must hate someone it should be someone who earned it.
Humanity is Flawed. Humanity is not a Bastard. We can go either way for we have the blood of both The Progressive Bonobo & The Regressive Chimp within us.
As long as "Bonobo-Humans" exist in large quantities, there is hope.
And you will be too. The right wing should love Muslim immigrants, since so many of them are socially conservative and can easily support other items of the Republican agenda. And besides, you love the Constitution, what about freedom of religion?
Republicans are the ones who will be welcoming ISIS (no one will, but non-terrorist Islamism is a thing and the Republicans would do well to know of it considering how closely it aligns with their goals).
"Muslim hugging democrats when it suits them. Next they'll be welcoming ISIS."
That's not a slippery slope; that's a frakkin' free-fall!
@ #1969111 Doubting Thomas:
Shouldn't that be "straight white conservative rich Christian males"?
