US: Criticize Islam, Get Dumped from Campaign
Rev. Dozier pays for the gall to tell the truth about Islam: Crist dumps preacher who ranted on Islam
Gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist told his staff to take the Pompano Beach minister off all his campaign committees. The move comes after the Rev. Dozier characterized Islam as a "cult" and a "dangerous religion," on a South Florida radio talk show in July.Dozier also recently announced plans to distribute booklets to residents living near the site of a future mosque in a black Pompano Beach community.
"While Charlie Crist respects Rev. Dozier's right to express his political and religious beliefs, he does not agree with Rev. Dozier's recent statements and writings concerning Islam," according to a statement issued Friday by Crist's deputy press secretary Erin Isaac.
"While radical jihadists give Islam a bad name, Charlie Crist believes that we must not confuse those who practice any religion with a prayer toward peace with extremists who pervert religion to further a radical cause."[...]
Charlie Crist assumes (or pretends to believe) Islam is a religion of peace, the Miami Herald calls truth-telling "ranting", and the truth-teller is punished. Those are the results of political correctness; explaining the world how we wish it was, not how it is.
