Democrats Change 181 Year-Old Rule To Allow Ilhan Omar To Wear Hijab In The House

[Polishprince]

This is an expression of religion! I guess it’s OK when it comes to iSLAM. We’re screwed as a nation. Fucking ABNORMALS and worthless, spineless Repukes are taking us down the path of destruction!....Wherr are the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE scumbags when they should be up in arms....but dont let a 66 year old cross stand on public property to memorialize our fallen war heros!

For 181 years, the U.S. House of Representatives has imposed a ban on its members wearing head coverings. With Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress, set to take her oath of office in January, that rule—which would have prohibited her wearing her customary headscarves or the hijab—is slated to change.

The change was proposed jointly by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Incoming Rules Chairman Jim McGovern and member-elect Ilhan Omar as part of a larger overhaul package.

When Omar is sworn in next year, she will become the first federal legislator to wear a religious headscarf. Her arrival will mark a number of other “firsts” as well. The Minnesota Democrat will be the first Somali-American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent her state in Washington. She’ll be joined by fellow Midwestern Democrat, Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, as the first two Muslim women in Congress.

Hats of any kind have been banned from the House floor since 1837.

I'd call this a violation of the wall of Separation between Church and State. If this broad wants to follow her paganistic cult, that's her own affair.

But wearing it in Congress is Establishment of Religion.

You are a clueless moron, so why should we care what you think?

You keep referencing something that does not exist nor what the Constitution does not say.

Not really. Nobody is forced to wear a head covering, but everyone is forced to endure a prayer. If you truly want to separate church and state, eliminate the prayer.

It's a piece of cloth, not a "religion". Religion is an abstract, not a physical object.

Establishment of religion in Congress is much more like having a chaplain read some mumbo-jumbo hypnosis spell.

The Ten Commandments are the basis of Chritian/Judeo ethics so therefore must be rejected but the hijab, a sign of
the basic deeply misogynistic view of women's place in Islam, must be defended and held to a different standard
by the hypocritical left.

It's pretty much as basic and simple as that: Christian symbols must be publicly driven out of view...Islamic symbols, not so much.

This comparison again?

There is a difference between a plaque adorning a government building and a personal item of clothing.

Yes, both are religious in nature, but only one is made a part of a government building. Bulldog's example of a Sharia Law plaque is a much more apt comparison.

Yes. This old argument again? Both the hijab and plaque are religious symbols that proselytize merely by existing
in a government setting and context though they are not precisely the same thing. That's an irrelevant detail.

I thought our secular government forbade such things? Not for Islam, it looks like.

They actually list moral values that were common throughout the mid east, and were seen as no particular importance above all the other rules until the 13th century when they were incorporated into a manual of instruction for those coming to confess their sins. With the rise of Protestant churches, new manuals of instruction in the faith were made available and the Ten Commandments were incorporated into catechisms as a fundamental part of religious training, especially of the young. Today they are considered to be authoritative Christian law.

Of course you are wrong. The Ten Commandments came from Almighty God, not from "Ay-rabs", or any other humans.
