Muslim congresswoman mocks vice President Pence's christian faith

[Lysistrata]

Wearing a religious symbol on your body is different that plastering religious material in public places.

The means of religious expression my be different. The purpose is the same,
to promote and proselytize your religion while supposedly serving our secular government and it's values.

People are allowed to wear crosses in congress and senate. Hijab shouldn't be excluded.

And the crescent of Islam, presumably. A discrete necklace tucked inside a shirt or dress is not the same as a religious headdress.
One proclaims religion personally, the other does it publicly. Do we have a secular government or a Muslim outreach program?

What you wear on your body is personal. Most people don't care what you wear. But plastering religious crap on public property is a different story.

I don't care what you wear...until you bring your religion on the floor of Congress and make a mockery of our supposed separation of church and state.

To allow one single person in Congress, Ilhan Omar, to proclaim her religion as the one true way for all would indeed be
government showing a preference for that religion over all others. Either we allow all to proselytize or we should allow none!
Up to this point in our nation's history we have allowed none.

So no one can wear religious garb in the halls of Congress? How is wearing a religiously inspired headdress "proselytizing"? We've had clergy serving in Congress, roman collars and all. Some people wear religiously-inspired jewelry, like crosses and stars of David around their necks. Does all of this stuff have to be parked at the door now? What happens if a Sikh man gets elected? No turban?

Prove your comment about roman collars. Give me a picture of a Catholic member of Congress with his religious wear on the floor of Congress.

And a hijab is proselytizing exactly the same way a post of the Ten Commandments is proselytizing....it promotes a particular religion. That seems very obvious. Didn't it occur to you?

And a Sikh should conform to our country...not our country to a single Sikh man.

In another demonstration of why it’s never a good idea to elect radical extremists to political office in the United States

I agree wholly. We should never have elected an extremist like Pence to any office. If we had avoided this, we wouldn't have to address these stupid, sectarian arguments over iron aged fairy tales.

I did a search of Mike Pence mocking Islam and couldn't find any examples. Where did you find one?

Pence isn't the problem here. Omar is. The extremist is Ilhan Omar, the brother marrying,
female genital mutilating, hijab wearing, pro Shariah member of Congress.

Good for you. Not sure what that has to do with anything i said, but good for you.

It has to do with your idiotic post attacking Mike Pence for sectarian arguments he has no part in.
A short memory, or a very selective one?

There is not any distinction between religion and creed , so what would you say to someone wearing kkk insignia within the auspices of congressional halls and claiming it is religious freedom ?

Given a choice between all or none , none is the choice , as ones personal convictions can remain a private matter without forwarding division to implement sectarian institutions .

Catholic priests in public office - Wikipedia
Two priests, Robert Drinan and Robert John Cornell, have served in the United States Congress. In 1980, when Pope John Paul II insisted that priests not serve in elective office,[8] Representative Drinan withdrew from his re-election campaign, and Cornell withdrew from his bid to re-gain the seat he had lost in the 1978 Congressional election. In 1983, the prohibition on serving in governmental office was codified as section 3 of canon 285 of the Codex Iuris Canonici.

I didn't attack him for that. You misunderstand. I attacked the idea of not checking these archaic voodoo beliefs at the door, once one enters the halls of government. That goes for her, too.

But pence is, indeed, an extremist.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Is the prohibition against religious wear or any type of hat or headdress?

It's against anything worn on the head. Muslims just want to gripe.

Pence is an extremist because Democrat socialists haven't yet found a woman brave enough to fabricate a rape claim against him.

No , pence is an extremist because he wants his magical fetishes codified into law. An extremist disguised in a wasp's skin is still an extremist.

Presumably the prohibition was against both before the democrats removed the long standing rule for one person:
Head wear in the House of Representatives and religious garments or accessories that violate the separation of church and state. Can Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert of Mike Pence wear John 3:16 neckties?

 

[Lysistrata]

All of this over somebody who is an adherent of a religion that everyone knows calls for headgear. It really is a tempest in a teapot. Pathetic.

Is that so? Tell that to Rashida Tlaib, another Muslim woman entering Congress for the first time. She wears no hijab at all. Ooops!

It really is a tempest in a teapot. Pathetic.

It is pathetic since democrats are willing to look the other way for members of their favorite religion, Islam. A hijab is what submissive women of Islam wear and no one is making Omar wear hers. She wants to! As I said, Tlaib does not.
So Omar is happily promoting and proselytizing for Islam. And that's something strictly forbidden if a Christian tried to do the same. But we know, Islam good....Christianity bad. Right?

Your double standard stinks and it shows the hypocritical left in action.

No , pence is an extremist because he wants his magical fetishes codified into law. An extremist disguised in a wasp's skin is still an extremist.

Pence is a WASP?

I thought he was Irish?

How many did Pence kill to make him such a horrible Christian?

He is in a heterosexual marriage. Even when in the halls of congress. Democrat socialists can't stand that.

Nobody has a "favorite religion" moron. Many Muslim women wear hijab as a choice. Omar is not proselytizing. She is practicing her faith as she understands it to be.

Who said that Christianity is "bad"? It has fuck-ups in it, like graham and jeffress and robertson and that lot, but there are Christians around the world. Same with Islam.

You said Islam "calls" for head wear. Now you call it a choice. Doesn't look good for you changing your views as you go along. Omar can practice her religion however she wishes and she's welcomed to it. We shouldn't change our secular system of government to appease one particular person however.
And don't tell me she isn't proselytizing through her hijab. It's promoted as a positive and a point of pride when in fact it symbolizes how Islam treat women as objects that must be hidden away and covered up.

He is in a heterosexual marriage.

Which, of course, is a sham, as he is a self-loathing, closet homosexual.

No, that would be your storyline.
