Islam is a peaceful religion

And the 50-year old skanky whore standing found on a street corner in a metropolitan cesspool is a virgin

[Mulder]

Maybe they just walked out because they thought that the "prayer" would involve sniffing each other's butts as they are fond of doing in turd-world moslem countries.

[E.G.C.]

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

First off whom people put into office in an individual state is none of anybody else's concern. The people who were involved are there to serve their constituents not some conservative or christian appeaser from another state.

Secondly, what needs to be impressed upon here is that there are certain elements amongest us who want christians and conservatives punished for their beliefs and no amount of goverment force or whining on a message board is going to make christians or conservatives like myself hold hands or sing Kumbya with these enormously harmful elements if we don't want to.

This grandiose idea of chrisitans and conservatives singing Kumbya and holding hands with people of other political ideologies and religions is just not going to happen no matter how much someone on this message board wants it to happen.

And I can tell you that had I lived in one of those districts in Washington I would say to the freeper condamning those reps. "Screw you. You're not going to tell me who my representative is. You mind your own business in your own state.

Who these people put in office in their own state legislatures is their own decision and as far as I'm concerned is none of our freakin' business.
Regards.

islam is a bloody cult and not even a religion.

Big hand to those that would not partake in it and know its a BS bloody cult.

[ZULU]

Good for them - real pillars of courage. They are in the same league as Tony Blair. I just hope their constituency appreciates such patriotism and courage.

[Search4Truth]

Turning their backs would have been a good idea too.

[John O]

"They're unable to distinguish between Islam as religion and way of life, and bad Muslims," said Joban, who has also given the opening prayer to the Senate.

This one is easy. Bad moslems live in peace with their neighbors and leave people alone. They don't kill their children for converting to another religion. Good moslems fly airplanes loaded with innocent people into skyscrapers loaded with innocent people. Good moslems also suicide bomb innocent people. Good moslems even go so far as killing their children who want to change religions.

Actual Quotes from the Koran

The Muslim Bible commands Muslims to murder all non-Muslims:

"O Prophet! Make war against the unbelievers [all non-Muslims] and the hypocrites and be merciless against them. Their home is hell, an evil refuge indeed." (Koran, 9:73)

"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad [holy war], chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Koran, 47:4)

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be to be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and genitals cut off, or to be expelled out of the land. Such will be their humiliation in the world, and in the next world they will face an awful horror." (Koran, 5:33-34)

"When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet sin. So that Allah's word is proven true against them, then we destroy them utterly." (Koran, 17:16-17)

"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [all non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Koran, 8:37)

"How many were the populations we utterly destroyed because of their sins, setting up in their place other peoples." (Koran, 21:11)

"Remember Allah inspired the angels: I am with you. Give firmness to the believers. I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: you smite them above their necks and smite all their fingertips off of them." (Koran, 8:12)

In the hearts of non-Muslims is a disease, and Allah has increased their disease, and grievous is the penalty they will incur, because they are false. (Koran 2:8-10)

"The Holy Quran says that (one should) always respond to bad action with good and those who used to be enemies become friends."

Muslims seem to have a little trouble comprehending this particular verse in their "holy" Koran!

[Marysecretary]

Anyone praying to Allah is praying to a god that doesn't exist. He's not the God of Abraham or anyone else. Such deception. It really is a shame. God loves the Muslims as much as He does any one of us. I just pray that the war in Iraq will bring religious freedom to these people as well. They need to know the living God, not one that doesn't exist. Pray for the Iraqi people.

Unfortunately, the blissfully ignorant milquetoast attitude ("we're better than them", "all people are the same", and so on, ad nauseam) is more common out there than it is here at FR. That's why 433 of the critters didn't walk out. They, and the fellow visiting us from the sick bay, think themselves so enlightened, so sophisticated, so tolerant. All they are is ignorant, as the posts above quoting the Quran and its interpreters attest. This tolerance at all costs (except of course for the so called "fascists" and "racists") is what allows this moon god worship to prosper in the US and to be promoted at taxpayer expense in prisons. Oh yes, and the US Constitution the deep thinking enlightened classes like to shame us with: it's nothing but a suicide pact!

[Revolting cat!]

"You've got to stand for something 
or you'll fall for anything.
You've got to be your own man 
not a puppet on a string. 
Never compromise what's right 
and uphold your family name. 
You've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything."

(Aaron Tippin - You've Got To Stand For Something)

FYI

[RnMomof7]

The fact they are praying to another god should have made all Christians and Jews leave IMHO..Would they have stayed and prayed with a warlock?

[skeeter]

"It makes me embarrassed to know that some of our legislators can't even treat someone with that common respect," she said.

I dunno. Why not ask the ACLU, who have made a cottage industry out of treating christians like pariahs.

[Jhoffa_]

In part, he said: "We open this session of House of Representatives in the name of Allah the one God [of, I assume] Abraham, God of Moses, God of Jesus, and God of Mohammed, peace be upon them all. . . . We ask Allah or God to bless the state of Washington so it may continue to prosper and become a symbol of peace and tranquility for people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. We pray that Allah may guide this House in making good decisions for the people of Washington.

I would not have walked out on this. There is no reason.

I see no problem here.

[Belial]

These Congress types can pray all they want when they get home. When they're earning my tax dollars on the job, I want them working, not posturing before Allah, Jesus, Zeus or whoever.

[k2blader]

I see nothing wrong with choosing to step off *or* remain on the floor.

God knows our hearts.

[CyberAnt]

And ... the idiots complaining about the walkout, are the same ones who would walk out when a Christian says a prayer; but that's okay!!

[nmh]

I would have excused myself too. This muslim allah is NOT my God nor will I support him by praying to him. It is right to excuse yourself from worshipping a false god.
