Thank you Dues, I'm glad someone brought that up. :thumbs: So no Qurans, Bibles, or otherwordly books/porno.
 
He should swear on the bible. He's a former black supremacist member of the Nation of Islam, whom believed in "the truth of the bible" therefore, he should have no problem with it. But I guess now that he's a radical muslim backed by an Islamist front group (CAIR), he needs to keep face. Especially when faced with his most truthful members of his cause. You know, the ones who started chanting "Takbir - Allahu akbar!" at his election ceremony. The best thing about this is that afterwards, CAIR started going after any critics of Keith Ellison, like Dennis Prager. And as we all know, woe is he who from an Islamist terror front group gets the label 'islamophobe'.

But what do I know? According to his former beliefs, I'm created by a mad scientist called Yacoub who wanted to create a race of inferiors; namely the white people.
 
according to a large majority of americans god impregnated a virgin through immaculate conception with the sole purpose of crucifying his offspring so that sometime in the future when little johnny decides to play "beat the salami" he wont be condemned to an afterlife of fiery burning hell with the rest of humanity ..what's your point?

You slam him for his faith yet say he should conform to christianity, ignore his own beliefs and swear on something that has about as much meaning to him as any other work of fiction? you are blind to your own hypocracy
 
Perhaps we are also blind to the fact Nemesis's post was right on the money.

I'm suprised to see that no one here has brought this up.

I guess you've never watched his show, he constantly reminds you that his show is an opinion piece and that he is NOT a journalist. This means he can say all the stupid shit he wants without ever being held accountable

Thats what you guys are missing. He was'nt personally saying he'd rather use the Quran for himself, but instead, everyone for the swearing in. The people's country. I'm against any religious swearing in.

No, that really isn't what he's saying at all. He was asking that the Qu'ran be used for his swearing in. Well done for re-interpreting/twisting the request of a rational Muslim into the fiersome demands of a stereotyped extremist.

****ing conservatives.


There should be no "holy book" whatsoever in the chamber, and nobody in government should be sworn on any religious icon whatsoever. What bothers me here is that they require a swearing in at all.

But, if it must happen, then let every congressman have his own damn holy book, and allow all books to be used. In fact, why not swear people in on the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster? I would be equally as rediculous, equally idiotic as swearing in on the bible, the quaran or any other holy book.

Right on, brother. Or something.

Oh and suffice it to say that the blatant racism and religious stereotyping of that CNN buffoon is astounding.
Oh and suffice it to say that Jon Stewart is absolutely hilarious. I remember talking to an American friend of the family who was saying that he was one of the very few political satire programs on TV in the USA. Is this true or should she be watching more telly?
 
It's true, Chi. It's basically just Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, aka "the liberal fags up at Secular Central".
 
At first, it looked like RJMC mentioned Somalia... That brings up an interesting fact about CAIR, the Islamist front group backing Keith Ellison financially and politically... When the Islamists took control over Somalia, CAIR called it, and I quote "a positive change". Personally, I don't think what's happening in Somalia is "positive change", quite the contrary, at this rate, I'd say they're heading for war. That is why I call CAIR an Islamist front group; That's what they are. They try to keep it hush-hush, but when their fellow radicals take over power, they just can't help themselves and try to silence anyone who dares speak of their real agenda, which is, as we all know, to establish the Ummah, among other things.
 
He's at it again - excerpt:
But Ellison said in Dearborn that Muslims can help teach America about justice and equal protection, suggesting that Muslim activists may be part of God’s plan. He spoke at the annual convention of two Muslim groups, the Muslim American Society [allied with the Muslim Brotherhood. —ed.] and the Islamic Circle of North America [allied with the Islamic militant movement of Jamaat-e-Islamiya in Pakistan and Bangladesh. —ed.]. The convention ended Monday morning.

“Muslims, you’re up to bat right now...” he said. “How do you know that you were not brought right here to this place to learn how to make this world better? How do you know that Allah, sallalahu aleyhi wasallam,” (meaning peace be upon him) “did not bring you here so that you could understand how to teach people what tolerance was, what justice was?... How do you know that you’re not here to teach this country?”

The convention, which ends today, drew more than 3,000 Muslims from across the country for an event aimed at revival and reform. It featured workshops and panels on a range of topics from civil rights to politics to how to spread Islam in the U.S. ...

And of course, the obligatory "Allahu akbar!" followed his speeches.

First Muslim in congress and he's a nutjob. Nice.
 
yes because there's no shortage of nutjobs who've held office:

"Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus."
- John Ashcroft

"God has chosen, through his son Jesus Christ, this time, this place for all Christians -- Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox -- to save our country and save our courts."
- Bill Pryor, Alabama attorney general

"[The disestablishment of religion] may not have been such a good idea"
- Marvin Olasky, advisor to GW Bush

"For the first time ever, everything is in place for the battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ. It can't be too long now. Ezekiel says that fire and brimstone will be rained upon the enemies of God's people. That must mean that they will be destroyed by nuclear weapons." - Ronald reagan

"We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand."
- James Watt, Secretary of the Interior under Reagan

"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
- George H Bush


"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East"
- George W Bush




what's your point?

heh now is oficial USA is not ruled by inteligent people
I bet they will start a big cruzade all over the world
 
I heard something interesting on the radio the other day, apparently there's no holy book involved in the official swearing-in ceremony. You can however, use a bible, a torah, a koran, or any other paperweight in your own private ceremony after being sworn in.
