Talk:Barack Hussein Obama (view source)
Revision as of 16:14, November 12, 2008
, 16:14, November 12, 2008→A Muslim President-elect!: no religious test
"It is widely believed that now he is President-elect, Obama will drop the tiresome pretence of being a Christian and produce his other wives from hiding, don a turban and a scimitar, pray buns-up five times a day on a Persian carpet while facing Mecca, have a minaret built on top of the White House from which he will personally play the role of the muezzin and call the faithful to prayer, will establish policy recommending that “the Zionist entity be driven into the sea”, and put bin Laden’s face on the American dollar. The week after that will probably be even worse." If no one objects, I will make some such interpolations in the article proper. [[User:MylesP|MylesP]] 23:30, 5 November 2008 (EST)

The [[ADL]] said:
*"Prager is flat-out wrong when he asserts that Representative Ellison's use of a Koran would be 'damaging to the fabric of American civilization.' To the contrary, the U.S. Constitution guarantees that, 'no religious test shall ever be required' to hold public office in America. Members of Congress, like all Americans, should be free to observe their own religious practices without government interference or coercion.

I wonder what all the fuss is about. Certainly there have been radical Muslims who support anti-US terrorism, but politically motivated distortions do not make Islam a wicked religion. Is Christianity to be rejected because of the abuses of the Crusades, the Inquisition, or the fact that Anglo-American Christians held slaves? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:14, 12 November 2008 (EST)
