"You know, this is the year 2015," Sanders told reporters at the opening of his new campaign office in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. "You judge candidates for president not on their religion, not on the color of their skin, but on their ideas, on what they stand for."
Isn't that what Carson was doing? Judging Moslems on their ideas.
No one cares about the colour of a Moslem's skin. Religion ain't a colour. But a person who adopts a belief system which believes in killing apostates, which is prejudiced against non-Moslems, which stops homosexuals from forming relationships, which reduces the status of women, which wants to impose religious law on society, which doesn't believe in the secular state - that's a person who believes in a crap load of ideas.
So that is why I can't support Sanders. He's naive. Not willing to face up to reality when it is inconvenient. Just because it's a religion doesn't mean you shouldn't point out the problem with the model.
