Minnesota elected a Muslim, Keith Ellison to the US House of Representatives. If he'd made his religion an issue, I'd be unhappy about this (just as I am about any other pious politician), but he didn't—even though his opposition did—so I'm not perturbed. He seems to be advocating the right stuff.

Ellison said his race and religion weren't as important as issues such as Iraq and health insurance for all. "We still have 43 million American uninsured. This is a problem for everyone in the United States," he said.

He advocates an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq along with strongly liberal views. While Ellison did not often speak of his faith during the campaign, awareness of his candidacy drew interest from Muslims well beyond the district centered in Minneapolis.

If you want to see people blowing their tops, you're going to have to go to Rapture Ready.

If I had my druthers, every leader of our government would be a Bible- believing, Christ -loving, running -after -God believer.

It is a sad day for America today. A happy day for Terrorist however.

The beginning of the end of Christianity in this nation!!! The fall of great civilizations usually begin with one small event. This very well may be that domino.

This guy is a security risk...BECAUSE he is muslim! He can NOT be trusted with any state secrets in the war on terror. Any information that would benifit the enemy can and will be leaked by this guy.

There's plenty of paranoia to go around there, and there's also an excess of irony. These two comments had me laughing.

NOT a good thing. You mark my words...within the year, we'll hear about an Islamic "prayer room" being set aside within the Congressional building(s).

I have yet to see a Muslim who can seperate their religion from anything. This is not a good thing at all.

Too bad they're completely oblivious to the fact that they're just seeing the country through the eyes of every American muslim, atheist, pagan, Hindu, etc. right now.

1. Um...is it just me...

or is there some really thick irony in this statement?

"I have yet to see a Muslim who can seperate their religion from anything. This is not a good thing at all."

But it's OK to be unable to separate your religion from anything if you're a christian.

:wtf:

Am I missing something here?

16. Irony just bounces off these morons. n/t

2. "I have yet to see a Muslim who can seperate their religion from anything. This is not a good..."

4. OoOoooooOOOhhhhh, they'd better be afraid!! Those Muslims like having lots of kids, see!!!

And they'll reproduce faster than the Xtians...and, and, well...they'll take over the COUNTRY!!!! Oooooohhhhhh!!!!!!

And THEN, when there's NO separation of church and state (remember, Kitty Kat Harris said that separation of church and state was a LIE!!!) they'll make all those Rapture Ready nuts... CONVERT!!!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!! But that won't be all--you can kiss your bacon and sausage goodbye!!!! No more pork chops!!! No more pork roasts!!! That's haraam in Islam, ya best get USED to the idea!!!

Do I need the :sarcasm: thing for the irony impaired?

6. Oh my...

He can NOT be trusted with any state secrets in the war on terror. Any information that would benifit the enemy can and will be leaked by this guy.

What, like posting instructions for building a nuclear weapon, in Arabic, on the internet?

8. The W far right wing has said all Muslims are evil

Rush, Ingraham, Savage, Hannity etc. W encouraged them just by letting the idiots stay the talk. Now we have to deal with the results. Since I work with Muslims, I find them totally peaceful.

7. This is your typical Republican voter talking.

No wonder why thinking Americans are voting Democratic....

[SmileyBoy]

9. Is Ellison in the Minneapolis City district??

I'm wondering if he's actually the new rep where my family lives...

[LNM]

14. Yep. nt

10. Deal with it whackjobs!

Well you don't have your druthers, thank the FSM.

Oh, but a Christian "prayer room" would no doubt have you spraying your shorts. :eyes:

As if you and your Rabid Religious Right friends could separate your religion from anything if your life depended on it.



How is it someone of a different faith is in office? Not so wonderful, eh? Maybe now you'll start supporting Separation of Church and State?

11. Yesterday's politics.

Actually, the day before yesterday's politics... sorry...

[LynnTheDem]

12. The irony...the hypocrisy... the incredibly deep stupidity!

"If I had my druthers, every leader of our government would be a Bible- believing, Christ -loving, running -after -God believer.

"I have yet to see a Muslim who can seperate their religion from anything"

Ummm...
