” If he can’t reconcile his loyalty to Islam with what should be loyalty to America”
Of course he can’t. I fear most Americans are reluctant, or loathe, to face just how very different Islam is from any other “religion”.
No Muslim should hold public office here because their religion calls for no separation of mosque and state - the mosque IS the state. It’s more a political ideology than a true religion in that sense. Therefore, when Ellison was sworn in (on the Koran), he could never honestly swear to uphold, preserve, protect and defend our Constitution, due to the clear conflict between their religion of total submission to Allah/sharia law and our constitutional republic with all its freedoms. This would be true for any Muslim, elected or appointed. To take the oath of office for them is to use taqiyya - lying that is condoned, even encouraged, by Muhammad to fool the infidel(s) and further the mission of Islam to reign supreme over all nations.
I wish you would have been there to query him on this. Perhaps he could explain his oath of honesty (in between sobs).
