Ron Paul voted for this? Or did he abstain?
He normally opposes such things.
Aye TX-14 Paul, Ronald [R]
Paul voted for it.
Twenty percent of Republicans vote present on Ramadan resolution (Ron Paul voted Yea)
The resolution recognized the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world, rejected hatred, bigotry and violence directed against Muslims, both in the United States and worldwide

Heres one of Rons votes from last week, the only NO vote on this one. Rebel Ron Paul at it again, but what is the Point? Is he against labor rights in Iran? All labor rights? What?

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.
