Rick Santorum: Equality Comes From 'God Of Abraham, Isaac And Jacob,' Not Islam

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/2 ... 20767.html

Rick Santorum said during a campaign stop on Friday that the concept of equality comes from the "God of Abraham," not from other religions.

"I get a kick out of folks who call for equality now, the people on the left, 'Well, equality, we want equality.' Where do you think this concept of equality comes from?" said Santorum, according to ABC News. "It doesn't come from Islam. It doesn't come from the East and Eastern religions, where does it come from? It comes from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that's where it comes from."

Santorum went on to suggest that people who don't live according to what he termed "God's law" can't claim "equality."

"Don't claim his rights, don't claim equality as that gift from God and then go around and say, 'Well, we don't have to pay attention to what God wants us to do,'" Santorum continued to the enthusiastic crowd. "'We don't have to pay attention to God's moral laws.' If your rights come from God, then you have an obligation to live responsibly in conforming with God's laws, and our founders said so, right?"

The Huffington Post's Howard Fineman reported that South Carolinians generally despise "political correctness" and judge their politicians for their willingness to shun it. By that measure, Santorum succeeded.

However, the Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned his remarks. "The Quran, Islam's revealed text, is the best refutation of Mr. Santorum's inaccurate and offensive remarks, which are unbecoming of anyone who hopes to hold our nation's highest office. Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship the same God and share religious traditions that promote justice and equality," said Director Ibrahim Hooper in a statement, reaffirming Islam's place as one of the Abrahamic religions.

Santorum faces an uphill battle in South Carolina, where Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are vying to win the state.

    I was watching part of the Piers Morgan interview with him and his family yesterday. I think he seems like a great guy, seems genuinely nice, loving, great person, great husband/father. I think he would make a horrible prsident and this article is just another reason why that is the case.

    This man is nothing but a fascist. The unfortunate thing is he'd probably happily agree with that.

    These guys are fucking crooks!!
  • Does anybody really think that Santorum would have a shot? The way I see it guys like this are simple media fodder; good for a few laughs and little else. Sure, he'll lock up the highly conservative evangelical vote but that hardly represents the majority of Americans. If anything, guys like Santorum and Perry serve to alienate moderate swing votes away from the Republican party and to the Democrats. I think the Republicans would have a better shot in 2012 if Perry, Santorum and Bachman were never in the running.

    Tell that to the Native Americans, who you cheated and murdered in the hundreds of thousands in the name of your 'God', asshole.

    The Church of Obama

    Evangelism refers to the practice of relaying information about a particular set of beliefs to others who do not hold those beliefs.

    I wonder how easy it would be find an almost identical photo of a Republican conference? :think:

    I reckon it would take just three or four seconds.
