Islamophobia?
MUSLIM REPRESENTATIVE’S SPAT WITH VIRGINIA REDNECK LATEST CHAPTER IN AMERICA’S POLITICALLY-CORRECT SOAP OPERA
FITSNews - December 22, 2006 - Newly-elected Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison has clearly never met a Twinkie he didn’t like.
Oh, he’s also the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, although he probably could have picked a better decade in which to make history.
Anyway, Ellison wants to be sworn in as a U.S. Congressman using the Koran or Quran or whatever it is that Muslims call their Bible.
Fine by us.
Last time we checked the Koran expressly forbids the kind of jihadist murder practiced by Islamic fundamentalists like Osama bin Laden and his terror network. Kind of like the Bible frowns upon blowing up abortion clinics. Or the Bhagavadviitaa frowns on killing cows. Or frownie-faces frown on pretty much anything you put them on.
As far as we’re concerned, Ellison can get sworn in on a Jughead comic book or Hustler magazine if he wants to. He won, so that’s his right.
That’s why we don’t understand the impotent rage of U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode, the Virginia Republican who went completely bananas over this thing.
Goode, who like soon-to-be-former Virginia Sen. George Allen apparently still subscribes to the Jeffersonian model of race relations, probably earned the Democratic Party a good $20-30 million in donations with this ridiculous letter outlining his objections to Ellison’s use of the Koran for this purpose.
Of course, in response to Goode’s bigoted hatemail, we get the predictible lecture from the Mainstream Media about how all of us angry, simplistic white people need to take a break from the crossword puzzle we’re doing and learn more about Islam.
Both sides in this cuture war need to simmer down. It’s Christmastime, people. None of this has anything to do with us putting on a comfortable pair of sweatpants, stuffing our faces with food and watching college football.
First of all, Goode needs to shut up and recognize that not all Muslims fly airplanes into buildings and blow stuff up. Just as importantly, Ellison (and his friends in the Mainstream Media) need to recognize that until certain Muslims stop flying airplanes into buildings and blowing stuff up, there’s a good chance that corn-fed white boys with minimal IQ’s aren’t going to make the distinction.
At least that’s what God (who bears a striking resemblance to Judge Wapner) just told us in a dream.
America’s strength is that all races and religions are welcome. America’s weakness is that we have morons like Louis Farrakhan and Virgil Goode who refuse to accept that.
