Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So grand, this old party...
This has to be some sort of masochism, right?
the "unity" they want is just for themselves to 'unite' against everyone else. if they splinter, they would lose.
Even if he converted it probably wouldn't be enough
I don't want him in my party either ,watering it down. Once a religious nutjob always a religious nutjob.
Fuck all conservatives no matter the religion
But I’ll guarantee, if they get power, they’ll cut your head off as believers of Christ,” he said.
Well, this guy is an idiot, and he probably doesn't care, but as "people of the book", Muslims tend to value xtians over, say, atheists.
Islam is not compatible with western society/values. You can see this very well in germany, where even the left-leaning mainstream media sloooooowly starts acknowledging the issues that come with islamic parallel societies. I absolutely cannot understand why leftists so vehemently defend Islam when this religion has values which are the literal OPPOSITE of what leftists fight for. This is not racism, this is not Islamophobia, it's plain facts that Islam has a lot of problems.

I have no Idea what he was thinking.
Anti-abortion.
After reading the article. The Republicans aren't necessarily wrong with their concerns about Sharia Law. They just need to look in a mirror.
And he probably shouldn't have admitted this, to be honest when he said:
He was practicing Sharia at that very moment,
Kind of implies he has no issue with Sharia Law being imposed.
This is certainly a take, so Imma ask you to further clarify your positions:
What concerns raised about the law's "incompatibility with Judeo-Christian values" are worth listening to?
Also, the last sentence is an especially stinky take: people are allowed to impose discipline on themselves without demanding others follow the same (like gyms and diets).
What concerns raised about the law’s “incompatibility with Judeo-Christian values” are worth listening to?
The issue isn't that they are compatable, it's that both Judeo-Christian values and Shria Law are two sides of the same coin. Religious restrictions imposed on others.
Also, the last sentence is an especially stinky take: people are allowed to impose discipline on themselves without demanding others follow the same (like gyms and diets).
Not saying they can't. The framing that that he's practicing Sharia law wasn't the best thing to say in response to the allegations. He could have said, "Sharia Law doesn't require A,B,C." Instead, he said made a general claim about lies and how he is currently practicing Sharia law, further validating the criticism against him.
