Amid a growing distrust among her conservative Christian supporters of anything Islamic, Sarah Palin goes on record stating that Republicans and her ticket welcome all Muslims, adding “it is not acceptable in my book” to discriminate on the basis of religion.
Her message of tolerance comes amid a growing tide of Islamophobia at McCain-Palin presidential rallies in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. How Christian fundamentalists interpret her remarks in the last days of the campaign is anyone’s guess.
