FULL TITLE: Pa. Legislature’s first Muslim woman calls prayer delivered by fellow House member blatant ‘Islamophobia’

A first-year member of the Pennsylvania House on Monday offered a prayer laden with political and Christian imagery shortly before the swearing in of the chamber’s first Muslim woman.

Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, R-Clinton, said “Jesus” 13 times, “God” six times, and “Lord” four times, as Raging Chicken Press writer Sean Kitchen first noted on Twitter. She also expressed thanks to God that President Donald Trump “stands besides Israel” in a rambling, nearly two minute prayer.

“Jesus, you are our only hope,” Borowicz said during the prayer.

Borowicz delivered the prayer shortly before Movita Johnson-Harrell — the first Muslim woman elected to the General Assembly — was sworn in.

Johnson-Harrell said the prayer was “highly offensive to me, my guests, and other members of the House.”

Good. Being offended is HER problem.

Send them all back to whatever sandbox they came from and never let a single one back in ever again.

Or she can be forced to leave.

Trump’s not dictator. In 6 years, he has to step down.

He’s a GREAT president.

But dems are patient.

The clash of cultures will come. Better to do it while we have the numbers.

“Islamophobia” Just another subset of “political correctness,” an attempt to silence any speech not validating rabid leftists’ ideology. Their is no right to be free of being insulted, laughed at, ridiculed, or offended, at least not in the Bill of Rights.

Muslims are even more patient.

The September 11, 2001 attack on New York was on the anniversary of the muslim defeat at the gates of Vienna, September 11, 1683.
Jan Sobieski and his Winged Hussars routed a numerically superior force and saved Western Civilization.

Muslims are required by Allah to conquer the world for Allah.

Submit or Die

(or fight back, which we seem reticent to do)

calls prayer delivered by fellow House member blatant ‘Islamophobia’

The member shouldn't be offended by Christians' and Jews' very reasonable fear of falling prey to Islam. We fear the devil as well, and live our lives so as to defeat him. There's a logical connection there.

What kind of name is that?

Oh I see.

A standard black American woman pretending to be Moslem to emphasize her resistance. Nation of Islam, the worst kind. 2 chips on the shoulder.

>>Johnson-Harrell said the prayer was “highly offensive to me, my guests, and other members of the House.”

Especially the prayer for Israel.

The mob had their own “CAIR” like “Italian rights” organization to attack the press and police.

Had to look up non sequitur :)

If Trump was gonna be in for 20 years, Tremendous changes would TAKE HOLD. There’s be no descending back into the abyss with someone like obama.

But in six years, which is not a lot of time to change a country’s moral direction, it is possible that another obama could take office and everything Trump worked for will go to sh.t

actually it’s POSSIBLE that in less than 2 years everything could go to sh.t, but I think he will win in 2020

you know fancy terms.

I hope you can understand plain english.

Sometimes guys that are too smart can’t understand what we average Joe’s write :)

ciao!

Yeah, but I understand that the Ottoman siege was broken on September 12, (not 11) 1683...
