		<description>Mr. Praeger: please show me where in the constitution of the United States of America it specifies the use of a (Christian, King James, maybe Douey, New Acquarian, etc.) Bible for the oath of allegiance for new members of congress. I cannot find it. Do you have a special copy?</description>

		<description>Well at least its one small step toward sanity. Next step? Stop using MY tax dollars for this memorial council. If homsexuals, communists, jews and other&#039;s who&#039;s predecessors were caught up in the violence wish to open a museum, fine, they and people who wish to privately fund such things can. Holocausts abound through history and it is supremacist to give voice only to one. Especially on tax dollars. Shameful. Shameful.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Why didnâ€™t this clown run under a Muslim name â€œMohammed Abu?â€
He would not have been elected. Looks like he compromised on
his faith already. 

Comment by Flaco &lt;/em&gt;

Just so you know.A name does not make one a Muslim.A person from the Islamic faith whether he is born Muslim or a convert is free to carry a name given to him or her by their parents or themselves, whether its names is Arabic in nature or not. 

There are many famous Muslims throughout history and the world who goes by non-Arabic or as you may think of as Islamic-like names. Cheng Ho(Zheng He),Ma Xianda of China,Michael Woolfe,Dave Chapelle,Everlast and Akon of the USA,Apisai Tora of Fiji,Bruno Metsu of France,Danny Williams,Chris Eubank of Britain and even that guy who led that coup in Thailand;General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, are but a few Muslims who used non-Arabic names.What makes them Muslim is their practice towards their religion.Simple as that. If one wants to comment on another&#039;s beliefs whether positively or negatively,please by all means at least get your facts right.

Another simple info for you.Not all Arabs are Muslims and not all Muslims are Arabs.Matter of fact, there are more Muslims in China and Russia than Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations combined.

Peace out,brethren.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s the difference between a Holocaust Memorial Council and a cult? Remembering the Holocaust is our state religion now. Christians and Muslims are in the same boat - their religions are going to be turned into Judeo-Christian-Islamo Holocaust cult.</description>

		<description># 52 RED-STAMMERER, I beleive I speak for at least 3 or 4 unwashed heathens on this board when I say, in the words of your Lord and Saviour Dick Cheney,: &quot;Go F$ck yourself&quot;. 

While your at it, go f$ck your bible if you love it so much. 

Its &quot;tradition&quot;? So was chaining Condi&#039;s ancestors to a fence 200 years ago.
Whats your point? Its tradition therefore its good therefore we should unquestioningly keep doing it and anyone who doesnt is a feeb?

The mideast, our source of your lifeblood, oil, is going to h3ll, dollars are being printed like mad in a distastrously shortsighted effort to prop up this stagnating economy, and politicians are showing up in indictments more than they are fundraisers, and here you are desparately trying to justify the rantings of some islamaphobic nut job who can&#039;t think of anything better to talk about than a ceremonial ceremony that 99.999 percent of america doesnt give a warm wet sh1t about. They care about what politicans can do for their lives, they dont care about which book of fairytales they lay thier hand on to take a fake photo-op oath.

People care about jobs, they care about feeding thier families, they care about making sure they can pay the bills if they get sick.

If it were me I&#039;d take every bible in every hotel room in the country and sell it for scrap paper to feed the homeless. The book is a bunch of vile lies and brainwashing propaganda and frankly, we all know that if you idiots who love to caress it, squeeze it, make love to it didnt have an entire political party under your control, you&#039;d be resorting to the same sort sort of violence that radical islam does. 

The faux christian crusade in Iraq is going to end up causing alot more deaths than those tricky dicky Ayrabs coudl ever dream of.

Its really a shame, because jesus was probably a well meaning dude.. but this world is sadly overpopulated with idiots and those idiots love to take holy texts and manipulate them to their own warped powerhungry ends. So while theres undoubledly some good thoughts in the bible, its done more harm than good, and frankly the ignorance that all major religions have fostered has caused more death and destruction than any genocidal dictator could ever dream of doing. The catholic church, for instance, would rather watch entire continents, millions and millions of people, die of disease, overpopulation, and starvation than talk about birth control. If that isnt warped and sadistic, I dont know what is. 

And I must say, I think its hilarious, that after spewing YEARS and YEARS of venom, you guys are now whining and crying like little B1tches when even a modest amount of it starts coming back at you...

&quot;Oh Webb was meanie weenie to Bush..oooohhhhh&quot;

&quot;You are so mean to Mr. Muslim Basher..ooohh noooo&quot;

This from the same group of political hemeroids who brought us swiftboating, purple heart band aids, imaginary illegitimate black babies, and comparisons of quadraplegic war veterans to osama bind goldstein.

All I can say is

 &quot;blow me.&quot; 

if you smucks can&#039;t take it, stop supporting politicians who dish it out.

Frankly, if you think that whining and crying is going to get you back in power, its not going to work. You guys make a worldful of victims and martyrs, but when you try to play them, you don&#039;t seem very convincing..</description>

		<description>It&#039;s Un-American to force or intimidate someone into taking an oath on the Bible. There are no if&#039;s, and&#039;s, or but&#039;s to this. And coercion makes the process meaningless as well.

Case closed, Dennis.</description>

		<description>Dennis Prager is a divisive homophobe.   It&#039;s refreshing to see an organization such as the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council make the correct and responsible decision to distance themselves from Prager, who is just one of the right-wing extremists using biblical references to spread fear, intolerance and hatred.  In an ironic twist, it was Hitler himself who used the Bible to justify the extermination of over 6 million people, most of them Jews, like Prager, during WW2.   Prager is twisting Biblical references to get Jews and Christians to metaphorically &quot;gang-up&quot; on Gay and Lesbian Americans, and persecute them, much in the way Hiltler did when he began his propoganda machine in the 1930&#039;s. Prager&#039;s actions and words are beyond despicable - they are the ultimate sin and he will be judged accordingly.</description>

It&#8217;s refreshing to see an organization such as the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council make the correct and responsible decision to distance themselves from Prager, who is just one of the right-wing extremists using biblical references to spread fear, intolerance and hatred.  In an ironic twist, it was Hitler himself who used the Bible to justify the extermination of over 6 million people, most of them Jews, like Prager, during WW2.   Prager is twisting Biblical references to get Jews and Christians to metaphorically &#8220;gang-up&#8221; on Gay and Lesbian Americans, and persecute them, much in the way Hiltler did when he began his propoganda machine in the 1930&#8217;s. Prager&#8217;s actions and words are beyond despicable &#8211; they are the ultimate sin and he will be judged accordingly.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=1237404', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Hey Dennis, go &lt;strong&gt;INTO &lt;/strong&gt;the &lt;strong&gt;Holocaust Memorial&lt;/strong&gt; and look around. &lt;strong&gt;THOSE&lt;/strong&gt; people would have been hard pressed to use a Christian Bible to swear upon. Are you saying &lt;strong&gt;THEY &lt;/strong&gt;were less than you? Even the ones whose sad and dismembered parts are in the films in tanks for experiments. They seem to have somehow been the &lt;strong&gt;WRONG &lt;/strong&gt;type something then to end up ..well....er....treated like &lt;em&gt;shit&lt;/em&gt;?

Read a book Dennis, try.........the Bible? Or the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Constitution&lt;/strong&gt;, ours?</description>

		<description>#52 Words attributed to Prager:

&quot;Europe is secular and is a failing civilization, one that is also increasingly judenrein (empty of Jews) because of its anti-Semitism.&quot;

Oh wow. Somewhat sophomoric dontcha think? Yeah, what might the intention be of using the 3rd Reich&#039;s adjective for describing the result of a successfully executed ethnic cleansing campaign? Because Germany actually won WWII or what? 

#52 Why villify him (Prager)?

Oh behave!</description>
