Congressman Scott Garrett commented that in his five years in Congress he could not remember a resolution honoring Christmas or Easter. As of this morning, a search by the ACT for America staff had not uncovered any resolution in the past 20 years honoring a Jewish holiday.
Other Members of Congress expressed being “troubled” by the resolution. Yet it passed without a single “no” vote. Why? And why the special treatment of an Islamic holiday?
Because politically correct treatment of Islam is growing, and the pressures in Washington to knuckle under to this political correctness have become extremely intense. I heard this loud and clear from Members of Congress when I spoke on Capitol Hill on September 10th. We know there are Members up there who are deeply concerned, and deeply troubled, by the growing and glowing affirmation of Islam, given Islam’s past and current history of violence, brutality, terrorism and intolerance. These congressmen and women need to know that there are millions of Americans who share their concerns. These congressmen and women need to know that there are millions of Americans who understand that Islam, especially militant Islam, has not been a religion of peace, and is, in fact, the major threat to peace and liberty in the world today
I extracted this from an e-mail I received from ACT. Please not the sentence: "by the ACT for America staff had not uncovered any resolution in the past 20 years honoring a Jewish holiday.".
Next stop: Sharia.
Who was the Rep who submitted this “legislation”??
How did Duncan Hunter vote? Hopefully he was not present.
Congress ping!
What is the resolution number?
They keep giving us less and less to trust them on...we the people know a time is coming to stop this.

Ron Paul voted for this? Or did he abstain?
He normally opposes such things.
The resolution acknowledging the importance of Muslims in America, the first of its kind, was introduced by Texas Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson and co-sponsored by 30 legislators, including Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Ellison is the first Muslim to be elected to the U.S. Congress.
“Congress shall make no law...” uh... something something...
Yes, I know it’s not a law exactly, since it will go nowhere from here. But it is “making” or beginning to make, something.
This would be a violation of the First Amendment.
FLUSH THE ENTIRE ELECTORAL BRANCH !
ALL of em !

From now on I’m calling it the House of Reptiles
Coward. If you don't like it, vote "No."
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.
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.
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.
What a nightmare all of this is. God help us. Pray for our country.
