A Muslim Should Not Be Allowed To Serve In Congress - 2

"Last month Keith (Hakim Mohammad) Ellison of Minnesota became the first Muslim elected to serve in the United States Congress and shocked many Americans by declaring that he would take his oath of office by placing his hand on the Quran rather than the Bible. Can a true believer in the Islamic doctrine found in the Quran swear allegiance to our Constitution? Those who profess a sincere belief in Allah say "no!"

"In 1789, George Washington, our first president under the Constitution, took his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God." Placing his hand on the Holy Scriptures, Washington recognized the God who had led our Pilgrim fathers on their journey across the Atlantic in 1620 and who gave our Founding Fathers the impetus to begin a new nation in 1776. Soon after Washington's oath, Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789, which required all judges of the federal courts to "faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties" incumbent upon them "agreeably to the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God." Placing their hand on the Bible, the members of Congress had already sworn to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States ... So help me God."

... inviting the Fox into the hen house to count your chickens and salivate over them, while you're trying to make friends with him, passes no sensible "test"; it doesn't pass the "smell" test, the "common sense" test, or even the "morality" test. It is simple INSANITY!

The Communists during the Cold War, said we (the freedom loving Capitalists) would sell them the rope with which they would hang us. Fortunately we had citizens & leadership who were aware of the danger they posed. Our new religion of faith in "feelings" will fail US. As that great philosopher POGO said, I have met the enemy & he is US
