		<description>To repeat what many others have pointed out, our legislators should be swearing on the US Constitution, not a Bible or Q&#039;uran or Torah or any other religious document. Seems like swearing on that Ol&#039; Bible does not prevent lying, corruption or sexual escapades. Swearing on a &quot;holy&quot; book has no more credibility than environmental studies published by the White House.

Our elected and appointed then approved officials are there to support the US Constitution, related Amendments and body of legislation that provides for rights and protections for our citizens. They are not promising to a &quot;higher power&quot; to be good. That promise seems to wax and wane as the wind blows.</description>

		<description>Hey, wait a sec, fellas!  Do you all know that America is a 400 year-old nation?  taht makes us every bit as venerable and distinctive a nation as Sunni Saudi Arabia, Shiitie Iran, Catholic Italy, Orthodox Greece is Orthodox, Shinto Japan and Buddhist Nepal. If the Dalai Lama were to denounce the mas transplantation of Confucian (or Communist!) Han Chinese into his Buddhist homeland, none of you would denounce him as a bigot.  So why this venom against Goode and Prager?  They have every reason to complain.  Last time I checked (as a schoolboy), our 400-year old nation was and had always been Judeo-Christian.So whence this spread of Isalam, from 100,000 in 1960 to 6 million todaqy? It was not due to any mass conversions on the part of we Americans. It was entirely &quot;social engineering&quot; foisted on us from above.  It was all the result of indiscriminate immigration foisted on us by our betters, from above. Just what was wrong with our ethnic/religious/cultural make-up in 1960, anyway?  Look, I like &quot;diversity&quot; on the PLANETARY level, and in the UN General Assembly, and in the food court of any suburban shopping mall. But nations, individual nations, I like them distinct and not &quot;diverse&quot; - and so does every one of you.  Just ask your local travel agent!</description>

		<description>All of us need to focus and not get sidestepped by the Lynn Cheneyâ€™s, Mark Foleyâ€™s, and the Dennis Prager&#039;s of this world. &lt;strong&gt;This periphery stuff is just a shell game to keep you occupied while the real nasty stuff is being perpetrated right in front of our eyes.
Executive Order Numbers and Meaning:&lt;/strong&gt;

10900 - Allows the government to take control over all modes of transportation, highways, and seaports.
10995 - Allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
10997 - Allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.
10998 - Allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
11000 - Allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
11001 - Allows the government to take over all health, education, and welfare functions.
11002 - Designates the Postmaster General to operate national registration of all persons.
11003 - Allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
11004 - Allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, and designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
11005 - Allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
11051 - Specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
11310 - Grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
11049 - Assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen-year period.
11921 - Allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and flow of money in the U.S.A. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the President declares a state of emergency, Congress cannot review the action for six months.</description>

		<description>I am an American Jew and I am very concerned about Mr. Keith Ellison&#039;s connections with Muslim extremists who support terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.   Hamas and Hezbollah murder Jews.  Prior to Sept. 11, 2001, Hezbollah murdered more Americans than any other terrorist group.  Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has openly supported these Muslim terrorists and has called for Sharia law to be imposed here in the U.S.  Ellison reportedly raised thousand of dollars through this Muslim terrorist-supporting group and he belonged to Louis Farrakhan&#039;s anti-Semitic Nation of Islam.  As a Jew, I do not agree that all immigration should be stopped because we are a nation of immigrants.  That having been said,  not write about Ellison&#039;s ties to racist, anti-Semitic groups?</description>

&lt;em&gt;But Americans don`t send their children to school to learn how to drink and drive as a way of life and religion.

Muslims teach their children in their schools to hate the infidels.Fins and dandy.

So why would a muslim who absolutelt hates infidels want to assimilate in that very country? &lt;/em&gt;

First of all, devout Muslims don&#039;t drink, so they won&#039;t be drinking and driving, or teaching their children to do it, either. Second, it&#039;s no more correct to say &quot;Muslims teach their children in their schools to hate the infidels&quot; than it is to say &quot;Christians teach their kids to worship George W. Bush.&quot; You can&#039;t hang an entire religion on the basis of what a group of their extremists is doing.

Muslims should be allowed as much freedom to practice and observe their religion as anyone else is. They should not be allowed to impose it on others, nor should anyone else. It&#039;s wrong for a pharmacist to refuse to fill a prescription for a woman because he thinks it&#039;s against his Christian faith. It would be just as wrong for a Muslim under the same circumstances.</description>

		<description>When a grievous act is committed and you have one person or group remain silent, what is meant by this, or what safe assumptions/conclusions can be made of the silent ones?

It is clear, some or many in the republican party wish to send a message by such a silence, that to them, the war on terror is equivalent with a war against Islam. Otherwise they would step forward and defend Mr.Goode, citing the diferent types of Muslims.</description>

		<description>Angus, in answer to one of your earlier questions, most of the &quot;hate America&quot; teaching is done in Saudi Arabia, under the Wahabi sect of Sunni Muslems and in Pakistan. There is far less of it in Iran and Syria than you would think. Strange, isn&#039;t it, that this would be the case in what the administration calls our allies. Remember, bin Laden is a Saudi and a Wahabist Sunni. And, bin Laden&#039;s threats were taken seriously by Clinton. He tried to take him out with cruise missles and directed the CIA to kill or capture him.</description>

He tried to take him out with cruise missles and directed the CIA to kill or capture him.<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=1318601', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>I can`t help but to believe this man.Can anyone turn me around to your way of thinking?

I doubt it.


Abu Ayman, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, as he gloated about details in the report from the Iraq Study Group. Islamic Jihad is the group which has been responsible for suicide bombings within Israel over the past two years. More from Abu Ayman: 
\&quot;The report proves that this is the era of Islam and of jihad...\&quot;(With the Iraq Study Group report), the Americans came to the conclusion that Islam is the new giant of the world and it would be clever to reduce hostilities with this giant. In the Koran the principle of the rotation is clear and according to this principle the end of the Americans and of all non-believers is getting closer.\&quot;
And this from Abu Abdullah, leader of Hamas\&#039;s military wing: 
\&quot;It is not just a simple victory. It is a great one. The big superpower of the world is defeated by a small group of mujahedeen (fighters)....

\&quot;It is no doubt that Allah and his angels were fighting with them (insurgents) against the Americans. It is a sign to all those who keep saying that America, Israel and the West in general cannot be defeated on the ground so let us negotiate with them.\&quot;
According to Abu Abdullah, after the United States withdraws from Iraq, 
\&quot;America must understand that with anti-American governments in Latin America and with Islam growing and reinforcing, including in the US itself, the next step would be a total defeat on their (American) land, not a relative one like they are facing in Iraq.\&quot;
Bluff and bluster? Before 9/11, we thought that Osama bin Laden\&#039;s threats were bluff and bluster.</description>

		<description>There are indeed such schools in the Muslim world, but most Muslims donâ€™t go to these schools. No doubt that sort of subtlety is completely lost on you, however.

I thought the Iranians MANDATED this with ahlimajanibad or whoever his name is,along with the ayatollah of Iran.

Every kid in that country is taught this I assume?


Am I wrong?</description>

		<description>thank you for the response Spudge_Boy.

you have widened my view.I need to study more I 
guess.


I will google jesus camp and maybe I can find this documentary.

You see verbal knit? A calm rational answer would have sufficed.

Just for my own benefit and by the way,I am not a Republican.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a Canadian Muslim originally from Pakistan. While growing up there I remember a Catholic Christen was the Chief Justice of our supreme court. I also remember, watching on TV, a group of Christian law makers swearing in on bible. I still believe that America is a great nation and we Pakistani Muslims can learn zillions of things from your experience. However, I would suggest, the Americans can also learn a few lessons on religious tolerance from Pakistani Muslims.</description>

		<description>I call for the immediate discharge of all Muslim, non-Anglo, non-Christian American soldiers from our military. They obviously are conspiring with the terrorists to kill us!

Seriously, why should these brave AMERICAN soldiers risk life and limb for a country who hates them and their ancestry?  They deserve better treatment and respect.

Our soldiers are Americans, doing the bidding of the Christians&#039; favorite past time--war.....in the name of Jesus???  

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS.....good luck in your delusional Jihad against the Constitution! 

Keith Ellison is an AMERICAN Representative. I don&#039;t take my cat to the Baptist Veternarian!</description>
