100 bucks says...if muslims gained congress they would vote islam the national religion and outlaw christianity.....
any of you secularist or christians been to mecca to the great mosque?
Yes! Governments create institutions that they should never have started, thus creating all sorts of problems. The liberal answer: more programs and laws. The Conservative answer: get rid of the institution that creates the problems.The separation of church and state is pretty easy to solve. Instead of trying to save christmas from the state, try saving your institutions from the state. For example, remove schooling from state funding and control, and then each school can celebrate whichever religious ceremonies they see fit.
The point so many here are missing is that there is no requirement for an elected official to take their oath of office upon a Bible. it is a tradition, not law.
In this case it isn't even a tradition. Nobody takes the oath of office on any book at all for Congressmen. They take it as one large group raising their right hands only.
So the point of the tradition is wasted here. There is no tradition of anybody taking that oath on any book whatsoever.

Right, so the fact that he made a POINT of having his own ceremony using the Koran is what makes it such an in-your-face action. You can bet the Islamofascists around the world are cheering about it -- and not in a way that admires America for its religious freedom.
Yep, but freedom comes with a price. If we deny this guy use of a Koran when swearing in, then how long before 'bigoted Christian hate-mongers' are denied the use of the Bible in similar ceremonies?
Exactly. I was a little irritated when I first saw this story, but then I found out that the actual swearing in is done in a large group. There is no Bible, Koran, Torah, or anything of the sort. They raise their right hands and repeat after the man speaking. The swearing on the Bible is purely ceremonial and is done for publicity. I really don't care what he does there. He could swear himself in on a copy of Battlefield Earth (by L. Ron Hubbard) for all I care.
:ali:
right now you should go find a native american and get in on the giant joke that is your concern over culture that "tears an American society apart"...
chief.
:happy2:
I don't find it to be a joke. What exactly is the native american joke?
oh.. say.. the last 200 years of American history that all but destroyed the indegenous SOCIETIES?
DOH! Did I just break it to ya that the trail of tears wasnt a fun holiday getaway for the injuns?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
say... I bet no on one a reservation is laughing at people JUST LIKE YOU right about now... the irony is rich..
So in other words this Muslim politician is just stirring up his Islamic base.
Today we're still warring with barbarians who are only slightly more advanced than the former American Indian and we shall win again. If the Indians of today wish to keep their bennies they better help win this war instead of laughing at "the irony"..... or else the jokes on them....again. How's that for irony?
