I don't hate anyone. I for one, as would virtually every Republican I know, abhor any openly religious chanting at an election celebration. It's uncalled for and well, just a bit creepy. And please, find me an example (at the federal CONGRESSIONAL level) where folks on the podium of an elected member engaged in religious chanting......

I could care less if the President of the United States were atheist, Muslim, Jewish, Mormon, Animist, blah blah blah...


But what BOTHERS me is this open chanting of a religious nature......

and the WILLFUL BLINDNESS of the winning party in regards to it.

When calling for secularism, you must be consistent. George Bush used the word Crusade which is often used in Evangelical circles, not Catholic circles. That is very uncharacteristic of past presidents. There was also a speech where Bush spoke about how the terrorists wanted Americans on their knees, and they were on their knees, implying in prayer. Bush has used the gay issue as a wedge issue. He has resembled many of the Middle Eastern leaders who used religion as a weapon against the liberals and moderates of their country to consolidate power. I think when you
make your comments, you should take that into consideration. Maybe you ignored it because Bush said it in English rather than those fellows on tape who said what they said in Arabic.

Allah Huwa Akbar to Muslims literally means, as we understand, to mean God, He is Great". Why is that so offensive? I personally don't like overtly religious tones used in association with politicians because I believe it corrupts religion but faith politics is part of the U.S. framework.
We can't simply make religious Evangelicals and Muslims check out their religious beliefs as it may contradict the spirit of the constitution of not allowing religion to rule over the land. You are being an alarmist because they are using religious words in the Arabic tongue. Unfortunately, not enough people have been alarmed at the way Bush and his cohorts invoked God and how they spoke to God on their way to leading us to this sorry abyss in Iraq. Anyway, are the Democrats supposed to condemn Muslims for invoking God when so many in American politics do? It would send a very, very, very bad message.

no that doesn't bother me. that's his perogative. and as the sole Muslim in congress, it is only likely that he will be called upon to confer/consult with Muslim leaders.


However, as an American, his duty is also to disavow the religious chanting that erupted (not just in the crowd but on his podium!) at his victory celebration.

It's a very very very INAUSPICIOUS way for the first Muslim to enter Congress.

And again, mark my words, the silence with which this was greeted by the Democrats will go down in history...



Especially considering the Jihadi times we all live in.

I am worried about the future of our nation's 2-party system.

That's about it.

In general I was pleased with the fact that the Democrats took control of Congress, such a change in lpower is good for democracy..


but after learning about the Allahu Akbar celebration in MN....and moreover...

the DEAFENING silence regarding it in the MSM/Democratic Party since then.....


I dunno, seems like we Republicans are again getting ready to fight a mental/intellectual/ethical retard.....

which is always unpleasant.....democracy thrives on respected opposition...

I'd expect more of a worthy opponent than remaining SILENT regarding the FIRST-EVER chant of Allah hu Akbar in the Electoral Process.......


Sooo soo sad........just when it seemed like real debate might get going.........
