Gingrich Sets a Demand for Muslim Office-seekers

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says a Muslim-American seeking office in the U.S. would have to publicly renounce Islamic law to receive his backing.

Speaking at a town hall Tuesday in West Columbia, S.C., Gingrich was asked whether he could support a Muslim-American candidate.

The former House speaker replied that it would depend entirely on whether the person would commit in public to give up sharia, of Islamic law.

Gingrich said he is totally opposed to Islamic law and supports a federal law that would pre-empt it.

Gingrich says he could support a Muslim candidate if that person was integrated in the modern world and prepared to recognize all religions.

He's been saying this for the last 3 years. It's a non-issue, by now.

What size handle you using, on the ladle you picked to stir this pot?

Gingrich is an fvcking idiot. I'm not sure I will vote GOP this time, there are so many idiots in the race.

PS - A Muslim without Shari'a is not a Muslim, so he may as well demand that they denounce their faith. What Muslim in their right mind is gonna want the backing of this two-faced hypocrite anyway?

I think you should vote for Obama. The Republicans are too radical nowadays. Vote for the moderate.

Sadly, voting for Barry is starting to make more sense to me than it ever should

He never has said that a Christian had to give up their religious laws. I will continue to follow the ten commandments and follow Jesus words. Newt it would seem has forsaken them.

Newt Gingrich is nothing special on a debate floor.

He's no better than Santorum or Romney in my opinion. But much better than Paul or Perry..

Not all Muslims are Orthodox/Fundamentalist nutjobs, and more than a few proudly serve in the US armed forces.

Dont even argue with such profoundly ignorant comments. Just report them and let the mods take care of them.
