A fifth-columner in the upper echelons of national security? I don't think so....
I asked Mr. Romney whether he would consider including qualified Americans of the Islamic faith in his cabinet as advisers on national security matters, given his position that "jihadism" is the principal foreign policy threat facing America today. He answered, "…based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration."
Romney, whose Mormon faith has become the subject of heated debate in Republican caucuses, wants America to be blind to his religious beliefs and judge him on merit instead. Yet he seems to accept excluding Muslims because of their religion, claiming they're too much of a minority for a post in high-level policymaking. More ironic, that Islamic heritage is what qualifies them to best engage America's Arab and Muslim communities and to help deter Islamist threats

Actually I think we need one. I would recommend Robert Spencer for the post.

WZ,
Remember war is deceit. You can never be sure if they were being honest. Plus the fact that the ummah always comes first.

No doubt. Islam comes before everything. That's why I don't trust them.

WZ,
I dont blame you and its not your fault. Its how their "religion" is set up. It forces you not to trust it just by how it tells Muslims how to treat non believers.
