The Answer’s No, That’s Not America.

// October 20th, 2008 // Life

I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian.  He’s always been a Christian.  But the really right answer is, what if he is?  Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no, that’s not America.

Former Secretary of State General Colin Powell on Meet the Press, October 19, 2008

I’ve brought up this point with friends on numerous occasions, and I don’t understand why it isn’t discussed more in the MSM.  I’m thankful Colin Powell brought light to this issue (and that he so clearly, intelligently and thoroughly laid out the case for his support of Barack Obama), and if it results in one person thinking more rationally about religions other than their own, it was well worth the appearance.
