No doubt I wil get banned but... Asim your full of ****
Normally you would, if you used the same abusive tone against one of our members. Since its an attack against ME, I'm ready to look the other way.
i did not interject race into this. i dont evne know what color the guy is other than he was once catholic. I have made no refence to his race and don't apreciate the ad hominem attack.
You did try to equate the tradition of the founding fathers with American tradition. The American founding fathers would've enslaved Keith Ellison for being black.
From what I've read, the definition of an American is fluid and that's why America takes pride in calling itself the melting pot of all races, traditions and cultures. You unfortunately are trying to say that the current American way is a way of shame... Either you're proud of it or you are ashamed of it.
if he is already teaching/supporitng/advancing non_islamic ideals then how can the Koran have more value to him?
He can keep religion and state separated, you can't.
There is a time and place for tradition and this is one of those times.
The oath to uphold a secular constitution is a time for Christian traditions? Either you're confused about being an American or Secularism.
He would not automatically win because he is trying to interject his religious faith into the public arena and that is forbidden.
Then so should every other member of congress not be allowed to take the oath on the bible.
I am sorry, but this is the most ignorant argument I have seen from you. American values are enshrined in the constitution and not in the Bible. Has he ever even hinted that he will not uphold the American constitution as his guided principal? If not, then you have no bases to doubt his good intentions or his patriotism.
if he wont evne give a nod to our traditions he does not deserve to lead. The bible in this case does not and has never represented the words inside of it, but it does represent a living link to our founders.
Not give a nod to your traditions? He has campaigned fighting for all current issues of the 5th congressional district of Minnesota. His vote bank? Americans.
This is racism... One that extends to putting Muslims in encampments like you guys did in World War 2. Lol you guys are screwing up a good secular thing. Christian fundos at their best.
Your so full of **** I can smell it from here. How come every time some one bitches about some one else chagnign tradition to suit thier own agenda some one else plays the race card?
Maybe with you, should be a hint that you are being racist quite often in your life. Nice to know.
Clinically it's called projection and your the racist and the fundo.
Sure, ask around for my non-stinted support for secularism.
Oh and a note, we encourage freedom of speech and you are entitled to criticize anything and speak up for anything, including Pakistan, Islam, America, Christianity, Satan worshiping, etc. etc.
What I won't appreciate is insulting someone. My words implied that you were a racist, and I apologize for that. But let me tell you I just meant that specifically about your insistence to equate Americanism to how it was during its foundation.
Rest is up to you, you being nice is preferred but not mandatory. The official PFF line would be tougher if you continue to express your views in the way you did with someone else.
