Do We Need More Muslim, Islamic Influence In America's Congress ?
Yesterday Congressman Virgil Goode, VA.- R insulted first-ever Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison,MN.-D . Goode said, " many more Muslims will be elected [ and swear on the Koran] unless immigration is tightened."
Consider this. America is like no other country on the planet. It was founded by immigrants and since has extended an invitation to other immigrants to come to the U.S. Whether that is a sustainable immigration philosophy is another issue for another time. The fact is that America has become a microcosom of the earths demographic, but with one glaring exception. Muslims who make up app. 1/3 of world population are not proportionately represented. Notably America's biggest problem has been and is the Middle East which is the homeland of the Muslim/Islamic faith and its politics.
It's in America's long term interest to achieve peace in that region. Therefore more representation of Muslims in Congress will be an excellent non-violent way to further that goal.

Christians & Jewish martyrs say; "I will die for what I believe".
A Muslim martyr says; "you will die for what I believe"....
It has been said that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Western secularists should take note of who their new friends really are.
How is having more Muslims in our government going to bring peace when they can't even stop killing each other?

Have you seen the ethnic cleansing taking place in Iraq?
"But Ellison, speaking at the annual convention of the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America, said that Muslims can help teach America about justice and equal protection."

Muslim Equal protection? How does that work? I suppose American women will have a new reason to attend the "white sale" at Macys.
