Minnesota Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Phillip Parrish Gets It
Phillip Parrish
Phillip Parrish   a Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate is being criticized for saying  he  does not consider Islam to be a faith and that it is "the antithesis of the Constitution."
Of course   Parrish  immediately drew criticism from the Red â Green Axis for the comments  he  made in an email to Community Interfaith Dialogue on Islam founder Regina Mustafa. Mustafa  of Rochester  MN sent  Parrish  an email inviting  him  to sit down with her after learning  he  had recently attended a meeting featuring Usama Dakdok  an outspoken critic of Islam.
"I do not object to you attending  his  presentation  but wanted to know if you would like to speak to a Muslim about Islam. Since you have attended this talk about my faith  I figured you would also like to hear from a person who actually practices Islam " wrote Mustafa  according to reporting by Heather J. Carlson for The Post-Bulletin  Minnesotaâs largest evening newspaper.
 Parrish  responded by saying  he  would be willing to meet but that "I separate Islam from the word faith because faith takes belief and Islam requires only submission."  He  added that  he  would ask her to publicly denounce Sharia law and declare that "Islam  Sharia and the Quran are the antithesis of the U.S. Constitution."
Naturally   Parrish 's response drew sharp criticism from the usual laundry list of Leftwing Sharia apologists. The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote about  Parrish 's comments on its "Hatewatch" blog and Muslim Advocates  claimed "Anti-Muslim bigotry like this emboldens those who would discriminate or commit acts of violence against Muslims. We've seen hate crimes  violence  and bigotry skyrocket as politicians have increased their attacks on Islam and Muslims."
In a press release quoted by Ms. Carlson   Parrish  pushed back  saying he has no intention of leaving the race and accused Mustafa of making a "disingenuous request" to meet with him in order to advance her own propaganda.
"I see myself as a person attempting to expose those who are attempting to set up rules and laws and regulations contrary to the U.S. Constitution "  Parrish  said according to Ms. Carlsonâs reporting.
"It's causing harm to people. Thousands of analysts like myself  thousands of law enforcement specialists have been trying to tell leadership this same message for over 20 years. And no one seems to want to listen or they live in some kind of utopic world of no  people really don't think like that. They don't really mean to cut somebody's hand off because they stole something. They don't really mean to put someone to death because they defiled themselves with an unclean woman. They don't really mean to rape little boys on Thursday night because the imam gave them permission to do that "  Parrish  said.
 Mr. Parrish  is right  and as we have made the case in many articles on the threat Islam poses to constitutional liberty  it is that political goal of imposing an anti-constitutional system of government through political subversion and terrorism that requires a forceful government response: âWe Can â And Should â Ban Most Muslim Immigration To America â âStill No Religious Test For Immigration Mr. Speaker?â âIt Only Takes One: Why We Must Stop Importing Jihad Through Muslim Immigration.â âHomegrown Muslim Terrorism Fueled By Obama â Bush Immigration System â âAmerica's Suicidal Muslim Immigration Policies â âImporting Jihadâ and âWhy Do We Let These Vipers Into America?â
