Radical Islam in the halls of power: It’s not just for Grover Norquist any more!
On the plus side, there were no reports of any hostage taking or nuclear weapons buildup. So, really, why all the fuss?

Rod Dreher talked about this a bit earlier this week here and here
Rod Dreher notwithstanding.
Heh.
Meanwhile, in Idaho, wingnut terrorists are shooting at American troops.
Will Hot Air comment on such an insidious domestic threat?
Those aren’t “sport shooters”. They are vandals and poachers, and given that obvious bias by the author I wouldn’t but alot of creedence in his story.
Now would you care to address the prayer in question? Would you approve of a Klan preacher giving an anti-Catholic and Jewish prayer in a house of government?
I’m an atheist, B Moe.
All flavors of religious expression strike me as equally strange.
If I had my druthers, they’d all be banned from our government institutions.
As they aren’t, I don’t really care whose shamans speak or what they say.
In other words, alpo doesn’t really want to address the topic at hand, but would rather try to derail the discussion by gesturing wildly at people he characterizes as extremists of the political persuasion he claims as his own.
As for the imam: he’s no different than a Christian Identity nutcase, and should be as welcome at public gatherings.
Robert: Duh! What did you expect?
Somebody who cares about engaging the loon should save that “all be banned” quote for the next time it cries “free speech!”
It’s like actus’ poor cousin.
Equally strange? I am sure the Methodist next door would be suprised to hear the company you keep him in.
That Texas lady needs to understand that you can’t just take any Imam you find in the wild and keep him as a pet. It may seem ok at first, but it’s not long before they become listless and temperamental. Far better to let them roam free and be with their own kind.
alf… your statements about religion exposes your prejudice and ignorance.
Atheists find belief in God puzzling.
Honest atheists evaluate religion based on actions. So if people want to feed the homeless because “god would be pleased” hey, knock yourself out.
Religion’s come in mixed flavors. The Habenero Blast with mixed lentils flavor of Islam and its cult of devotees is dangerous.
The “Accidental” Hit of Meth while taking a gay massage flavor of Christianity is hypocritical.
Many of the other flavors are quite helpful to society and should be in no way discouraged (at least as I read the forefathers thoughts in the Constitution).
In my view if a flavor of religion conflicts with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of society at large then it should watched carefully.
Flavors of Christianity in the US often are at odds with the means people use in their “pursuit of happiness”. Radical Islam is at odds with all three .
Answer me alf…. does radical Islam give everyone the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to pursue happiness?
Or does it exterminate those who express those rights?
I saw the title and had to go check it out. As a Texan I’m cool with it.
Texas only allows “the Lege” to meet for 140 days every two years. This is an excellent illustration of why the rule is in place, and as a general rule Texans approve of time-wasting hijinks on the part of our legislators. Figuring eight hours a day, that’s 1120 hours, one of which they just blew off. If they’re listening to radical imams (or, possibly, alphie) they aren’t passing laws, which we regard as a good thing on balance. The actual content of the timewaster is pretty well irrelevant.
Regards,
Ric
I will repeat myself here:
OK – I have had enough of this threadjacking. I will no longer address anything toward alphie that is not on point. Will all of you join me in this? I don’t have BRD’s Job-like patience, or Karl’s dogged determination. So, what do you say everyone?
