The Hill reports:
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) didn’t back down from his controversial comments about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Saturday night, criticizing Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) campaign for distancing itself from King after he said an Obama presidency would be cause for jubilation among Muslim radicals.”
While it is true that some radicals may celebrate the election of someone they assume would be an easier adversary, I think it is far more relevant that a much much larger fraction of moderate Muslims will celebrate the potential for peace and progress with someone better able to empathize with their plight.
Someone who understands the path to peace in the world would appreciate this.
