Frank Turek (fired by Cisco Systems for his anti-gay writings) told American Family Radio that "the homosexual community and Muslim community (are) joining together (because they) both hate western civilization" and the Constitution.

Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann collaborator Bradlee Dean targeted Rep. Keith Ellison (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party - MN) for his Islamic faith and support for LGBT equality.

Former House Speaker/Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told members of a Texas Church that secular humanists in league with Muslims want to destroy America as we know it, saying:

"I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time (my grandchildren are) my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."

A Final Comment

Republican and Democrat Party right-wing extremism is a cancer destroying America. In 2012, one of their own may become president, bringing ideological hate to the White House if elected. 

On June 14, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) National Executive Director Nihad Awad expressed concern about anti-Islamic sentiment aired by Republican presidential candidates at a June 13 New Hampshire debate, saying:

"When the candidates were asked: 'Are American Muslims as a group less committed to the Constitution than, say, Christians or Jews?' not one spoke up (for) religious tolerance. While most remained silent, Herman Cain reiterated his position that he would treat Muslims differently than members of other faiths. (He) and (Gingrich) echoed the far-right manufactured controvery about Sharia replacing the Constitution."
