Politicians and all manner of other commentators and public figures in the West have been lecturing the people in the Muslim world on how they must "change their views" for decades and for the last decade and a half continuously and vociferously.

Do you think that people you disagree with should change their views?
That is something that opponents on this thread refuse to acknowledge. The more power a person has the more potential for abuse there is.
As I have said, it makes me nervous when the next president to be says that religious folk must change their views. I have no faith in the meddling corrupt federal government coercing religious folk because they seem to do the same to pretty much everyone around the world.

2nd time of asking 🙂
Well if you think a theist would be the ideal candidate because of their religious beliefs, then why are you complaining about Hilary Clinton being influenced by her religious beliefs and claiming a breach of the separation of church and state?

Originally posted by whodeyLeaders and public figures all around the world, including Obama, in almost every country, and including politicians and leaders in Muslim countries, have condemned the atrocities of the Islamic terrorists, in forthright terms and consistently, noting their professed Islamism and their claims to be on a divine mission, and contrasting it with how Islam is a religion of peace for hundreds and hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world. I see no problem with rejecting the terrorists' claims to be righteous Muslims doing the work of God.
All Presidents say the same things. Islam is a religion of peace, therefore, those who commit terrorist acts are not really Muslims.
Originally posted by whodeyWhat, exactly, do you fear Hillary Clinton will do to "coerce" people to change their (religious) beliefs in the case that she is elected president?

It would be like HIllary saying that those who are Christians and are opposed to abortion are not really Chrsitians.

Conservatives are hunted down like dogs with the IRS. Why not the religious? Then there is the tax exempt status of churches which could be taken away if they don't see things a certain way etc.
Really the options are limitless in a government that has no more checks and balances.
