They want to show very little, so that nearly everything we do is a surprise and new to us.

You get an item that boosts you to 25 anyway so you can jump right into TTK
Is this for all new characters?
It's one for every player, as long as you buy TTK.

I don't see the problem. He made a very clear distinction between theocratic Muslims and secular Muslims, which I think most would agree that the former is utterly unelectable.
Any theocratic candidate should be unelectable - no matter the religion.
Agreed, but if we're talking proportionality here, a Christian theocrat is morally preferable to a Muslim theocrat.
That's still like saying Stalin is preferable to Zedong.
Well his kill count was less tbh.
One religion's kill count was less than the other.
Are you genuinely implying Christianity has a higher kill count?
I didn't say which religion is higher, that's for you to decide (And to be honest, I don't really care).

despite the fact that Muslims in our country are far more moderate than many believe (Apparently, all Muslims are terrorists to some here).
Muslims in the US are probably more moderate than in Western Europe, but there's still a rather significant problem with fundamentalism even in America. 51pc of mosques have violent texts on-site, and Muslims make up 1pc of the population and 80pc of the terror convictions.
Sauce?

The United States has, as of 2010, over 2000 mosques throughout the country. While I get the whole need for sampling size being a small percentage, the study only used 100 mosques in 2011 - which is not even 10% of the total amount.
I don't have time to read through the entire website - mind picking out the sections where it shows which texts are used, etc?
A sample size of 100 is more than enough for the 2106 mosques in America.
Hardly, especially since the mosques sampled barely represent a quarter of he country - 14 or 15 states.

We could do it in the Colosseum, on live TV, and people would still say that it's a hoax.

What's the problem here?
The whole anti-Muslim sentiment that is getting stronger in America, despite the fact that Muslims in our country are far more moderate than many believe (Apparently, all Muslims are terrorists to some here). Also, the hypocrisy that a good chunk of the Republican candidates, including Carson, are extreme Christian figures who would love for their religious beliefs to define their government - including Supreme Court nominees.

Islamic and secular don't sound right together
According to Kim Davis (And several candidates), neither does Christianity and secular.

Reminder that Trump is the only one willing to call Fiorina out on her bullshit.
That's because the others know Fiorina isn't nearly a problem as Trump is - at least currently, in national polling averages.

Le SignWashington (CNN)Ben Carson says the United States should not elect a Muslim president.
"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," the retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Carson's comment comes on the heels of GOP front-runner Donald Trump taking a question from an campaign rally attendee who said, "We have a problem in this country; it's called Muslims."
Trump has since said he has many Muslim friends, but Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" he added that the problem is "radical Muslims."
Carson, meanwhile, was asked Sunday whether a president's faith should matter to voters.
"I guess it depends on what that faith is," he said. "If it's inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem."
Asked whether Islam is consistent with the Constitution, Carson said: "No, I don't -- I do not."
He said he is open, though, to voting for a Muslim for Congress.
"Congress is a different story, but it depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are, just like it depends on what anybody else is," Carson said. "If there's somebody who is of any faith but they say things and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed and bring peace and harmony, then I'm with them."
Carson said he has no reason to believe President Barack Obama isn't a Christian. The man at Trump's rally had falsely claimed that Obama is a Muslim.
Protestants only, I suppose.

I just found a somewhat major spoiler while browsing r/halo...not going to post it even in a spoiler tag unless someone really wants me to.

Fiorina is a dangerous, war-hungry bitch.
And I say that as a hawk.

For this primary, it's actually pretty significant.
