One good thing is as long as Congress is passing resolutions condemning this and praising that, they’re not raising our taxes or spending money.

Congressman Tom Tancredo, one of 42 voting “present,” in a press release after the vote cited the resolution as "an example of the degree to which political correctness has captured the political and media elite" in America. He further stated: “I am not opposed to commending any religion for their faith.

So why didn't he vote "Nay" with the explanation that he would not vote for any legislation singling out any one particular religion at the expense of the others.

I mean, he's right, but why vote present and not put his vote in Nay column, instead of this 376 - 0 crap.

“My Caliphate ‘tis of thee,
sweet land of shar’ia........”

So glad my father isn’t around to see this ‘Resolution’ passed by all who didn’t say, Nay.”

I agree with you. The “Present” vote is a load of crapolla. One must stand for something or they stand for nothing. This truth is apparent in the 376-0 vote count.

I suppose this will encourage Muslim nations to act quickly to also recognize the holy days of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc.—you think?!

See http://www.twf.org for a real eye-opener. They come right out and say at http://www.twf.org/News/Y2000/1213-Election2000.html

“This was American Muslims’ first attempt at a bloc vote. An informal post-election poll...found 70 percent of Muslims voted for Mr. Bush. ...The narrow margin for victory in Election 2000, together with 152 Muslims elected mostly to local offices—92 in Texas, according to the American Muslim Alliance—has given American Muslims greater visibility on the political scene. This should increase over time as more Muslims become politically active, and as their numbers increase by birth, immigration, and reversion to Islam.”

Back in September we had another conversation about Islam—here is a brief reminder:

The Muslim Brotherhood “...presents Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic State wherever it is.” — from 1987 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum accepted into evidence in the U.S. v Holy Land Foundation (HLF) case. Source: http://www.investigativeproject.org/document/id/20

Islam is not a religion. As Bin Laden so clearly expressed in a recent tape, Islam is comparable to capitalism (not Christianity, Judaism, secularism, etc.).

The Republicans and Democrats both need to wake up on this one.

Duncan Hunter was not present, so he was counted as “No Vote” as in didn’t vote. If he had voted no, he would be listed as a Nay voter. Not a single congressman or woman voted Nay.

Ron Paul voted for this? Or did he abstain? He normally opposes such things.

Indeed he does. He didn't get the nickname "Dr. No" for nothing. RP votes 'nay' on practically everything. Quite revealing that he voted 'yea' this time, especially in light of his recent 9/11 comments.

You left out the secular humanists! I have to say, I’d feel a lot safer if 100% of my neighbors were sechums rather than one Muslim family where the women wear burkas and the girls hajibs. Call me intolerant, but it just makes my blood run cold to see that.
