Oh great, so Ingrid and Gene Robinson?
Anyway he can dig up Judas while he’s at it.
I guess the Hindus will drag the two foot monkey god in too.
Yep, I guess all previous presidents had a muslim prayer... why are the libs so quiet, church and state... remember? Maybe a satanist and atheist will do their thing as well. Maybe a few trees, instead of columns, for the druids and even a reborn doll.
Kidding... I hope. Yep, change.

INGRID MATTSON | |
Mattson was born in 1963 in Ontario, Canada, to Roman Catholic parents. She abandoned her Christian faith as a teenager. In the 1980s she attended the University of Waterloo, Ontario, where she studied philosophy. There she befriended a group of Muslims and converted to Islam. Following her graduation in 1987, Mattson relocated to Pakistan, where she worked with Afghan refugee women. In 1995 she served as an advisor to the Afghan delegation to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. In 1999 she earned her Ph.D. in Islamic Studies from the University of Chicago. Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single State or a few countries; the aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution. In 2001 Mattson was elected Vice President of ISNA; five years later she was elected President. No, its not true to characterize Wahhabism that way. This is not a sect. It is the name of a reform movement that began 200 years ago to rid Islamic societies of cultural practices and rigid interpretation that had acquired over the centuries. It really was analogous to the European Protestant Reformation . [T]he Saudi scholars who are Wahhabi have denounced terrorism and denounced in particular the acts of September 11. In 2002 Mattson authored a chapter, titled Stopping Oppression: an Islamic Obligation, in the book September 11: Religious Perspectives on the Causes and Consequences. She wrote: Muslims perceive that Israeli aggression against Palestinians continues without American sanction; indeed, enormous financial and military support for Israel has continued. It seems that any Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation is termed terrorism, and is responded to with overwhelming force. The result is the Palestinians themselves are increasingly showing less restraint in the force they employ to defend their families and lands. Mattson went on to condemn American foreign policy as a force of evil not only in the Middle East, but all over the world: The American government has not criticized sufficiently the brutality of the Israeli government, believing that it needs to be supportive of the Jewish state. The result is that oppression, left unchecked, can increase to immense proportions, until the oppressed are smothered with hopelessness and rage . So often we have to tell other Muslims throughout the world, that America is not as bad as it appears. We tell them, These policies (support for oppressive governments, enforcement of sanctions against Iraq, lack of support for Palestinians) contradict the true values of America The critical situation we find ourselves living in today is the result, to a great extent, of allowing injustice and oppression to continue unchecked. In a September 2002 interview with PBS, Mattson stated that she did not see any difference between Christian leaders criticizing Islam or al Qaeda on the one hand, and Osama bin Laden citing Islamic theology to justify violence against Americans on the other. That is, she believed that the Christians were inciting terrorism in a manner not unlike bin Laden. |
Riiight, and mooses don't lie either. Yeah, you wish we were that stupid. Why suggest she move to a more non judgmental country, say Iran. Bye-bye
Who's available and can they bring in votes. Next time round.
In PEBO’s peculiar thinking, he will have a knuckle-dragging Christian fundie, a gay bishop, and a radical Muslim takfiri doing that, you know, religious crap. That way he is covered on all sides. Peas be upon him.
