PING

[SouthernFreebird]

I really despise these people.

[followerofchrist]

Christian or Judeo-Christian isn't accurate either, anymore.

[markman46]

never going to happen

[Luke]

For this to happen means that Christians have not done their job.

[ncountylee]

Does that mean we (Christians & Jews) may now actually touch the Koran 'bare back'?

[TADSLOS]

Leading Muslim organizations say it's time for Americans to stop using the phrase "Judeo-Christian" when describing the values and character that define the United States.

I'm waiting for the raging secularists, ACLU and SCOTUS to put a stop to this islamic identity tag to the United States any day now...still waiting...(may I take a breath now, I'm starting to turn blue...)

When pigs fly!

I saw this discussion on c-span a few weeks ago (6-05 or so). It was feel good session between a liberal rabbi, liberal minister and an imam/scholar from some islamic group. The basis of the new Judeo-Christian-islamic triumverate is purely based upon the "Children of Abraham and Mosaic Traditions".
As a religious historian, yeah, it's a stretch of inclusion on that basis. In real life actions and practice, it's flim-flam and bamboozlement of the highest order.

[Frank_2001]

As for freedom of conscience and liberty, Muslims STILL aren't "a part of that".....

[Maceman]

I keep looking for something that will mitigate my continually growing post 9-11 hatred and intolerance of Islam.

So far, nada.

[Phocion]

I actually agree with "Osama" at the end of that article:

Osama Siblani, an influential voice among American Muslims and publisher of the Arab-American News in Dearborn, Mich., takes an even broader view. "I believe we should call this the United States of America, made up of Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Jews and others," says Siblani. "This stuff about language has to stop. We are all just Americans."

Leave identity politics to the Dems.

[Reddy]

Why not? Words have no meaning anymore, anyway. The Political Correctness/Sensitivity crowd has redefined words to fit its heavy-handed agenda. Gay means homosexual, right?

It doesn't matter that the Muslims have absolutely no role in the founding of this country, we must rewrite history to reflect that America was founded on Judeo/Christian/Muslim principles.

I'm so thankful my son is home schooled, and won't get that version.

[somedaysoon]

You might know the National Council of Churches would agree with the Muslims.

"I'm waiting for the raging secularists, ACLU and SCOTUS to put a stop to this islamic identity tag to the United States any day now...still waiting...(may I take a breath now, I'm starting to turn blue...)"

I'm waiting for the Episcopalians to elect an Islamic bishop.
(Bet I quit waiting before you do)

Over my dead friggin' body.

Sick of the mooslimes.

[Nathan Zachary]

How about Judeo-Christian and Athiest-Hindu, Buddist-lesbo and gay-muslim society? Grouping religion/groups which have something in common with another sector is how it should go, if we follow the judeo-Chistian pattern. Gays and Muslims have the most in common, they both hate women, think pedophilia is ok, and enjoy gay style sex.

[Mr. Keys]

So are the Arab countries now to be Muslim Judeo-Christian countries?

[concerned about politics]

It may be time to throw out old motifs of America as strictly a Judeo-Christian country.

They want us to throw out all our founding documents and history records for Allah? I don't think so! We're already fighting the liberal left to stop them from doing it!!

They're just trying to sneak the camels head inside the tent. Later, they'll try to move the rest of the camel in.
I say shoot the camel now.
