In Letter, GOP Rep Fears Influx of Muslims

Anyone who commits a heinous crime should be jailed or deported no matter who they are. Examples of heinous crimes are murdering someone because of their race, forcible rape or molesting children.

I propose hardworking immigrants who live good lives and are decent people be shown compassion.

The crimes of crossing a border or overstaying a visa are not comparable to heinous crimes.

Let's treat the people who rape children, plant bombs in churches or kill based on the color of one's skin more harshly than parents who are simply working hard to give their kids a better life.

I am surprised that Mr. Goode did not take into account the possibility of mass conversion leading to more muslim lawmakers. I mean, who needs to import muslims when you can just convert the existing citizens?

Good, no apology should be extended until some of the traitors apologize to the US.

Quote:

Keith Maurice Ellison (born August 4, 1963), is an American lawyer and politician, who became the first Muslim[1][2] to be elected to the United States Congress when he won the vacant seat for Minnesota's 5th congressional district in the House of Representatives, one of eight congressional districts in Minnesota. He is also the first African American elected to the House from Minnesota.

Keith Ellison, the third of five sons, was raised in Detroit, Michigan by his parents Leonard and Clida Ellison, a psychiatrist and a social worker respectively.[2][4] Ellison and three of his siblings became lawyers while the other became a doctor. One of his brothers is also the pastor of the Baptist "Church of the New Covenant" in Detroit.[4] Ellison was influenced by the involvement of his family in the civil rights movement, including the work of his grandfather as a member of the NAACP in Louisiana.[2] He graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy in 1981 where he had been active in sports and the student Senate.[4][5] At age nineteen, while attending Wayne State University in Detroit, Ellison (who had been raised Roman Catholic) converted to Islam. After graduating with a B.A. in Economics in 1987, he married his wife Kim (a teacher) and moved to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota Law School ...

Ellison is an American. He was born, raised and educated here.

Goode is off his rocker thinking only Christian Americans can hold office.

Goode said that only Christian Americans could hold office?

Reading is fundamental. Do you not read what gets posted, LSM? Or, do you just have problems with comprehension?

Ah, so he didn't say it. Ok, didn't think so since there is an American citizen not born in the US, that does serve in Congress.

It's obviously a comprehension problem.

I won't bother explaining it to you.

Just admit that Goode never said it, simple.

Just admit you can't f*ckin read.

I never said Goode said it. I said he (Goode) is off his rocker thinking only Christian Americans can hold office.

Gawd! I'm damn near impossible to rile, but your inability to comprehend what is posted here, over and over again, is nerve racking.

Simmer down there girl, you certainly intimated, tried to make believe that Goode said that. You're hard to rile? Only when you get caught, apparenty.

Hey, the bigot objected to an elected member of congress being sworn in with his hand on the Koran, representing his religion. Does this mean he would object to a Christian swearing in on the Bible? I don't think so.

A bigot is a bigot.

Hmmmmm. If all the Muslims also believe in freedom of religion and the Bill of Rights, great. I am not so sure they all do. I think some do, but I am equally sure that not all do, and I would estimate that a fairly large percentage might not if they do not become melted into the melting pot. If they come here to become Americans, fine, not a problem. If they come here in an effort to import a way of life similar to the Taliban, just as an example, that might not go over so well. Muslim populations in countries like France, England, Denmark, and other countries are in fact becoming a rather thorny problem in those respective countries.

BBB, I think to chalk this issue up to bigotry simply illustrates not much more than a very poor understanding of what is happening around the world.
