Indiana Muslim running for Congress wants to combat ignorance about his faith
Associated Press ^ | February 15,2008 | KEN KUSMER

Posted on 02/15/2008 10:23:49 PM PST by jan in Colorado

A convert to Islam stands an election victory away from becoming the second Muslim elected to Congress and a role model for a faith community seeking to make its mark in national politics.

Political newcomer Andre Carson is the Democratic nominee in a March 11 special election to succeed his late grandmother, Julia Carson, representing Indiana's 7th District. She died in December of lung cancer, and her grandson is seeking to fill out the rest of her sixth term, which expires at year's end.

If Andre Carson wins the Democratic-leaning Indianapolis district over a freshman Republican legislator and a long shot Libertarian candidate, he would join Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., as the only Muslims elected to Congress.

THIS is the TRUTH about his "faith"!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman,
such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

-Manuel II Paleologus

"It seems to me a certainty that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of the Arab women are the outstanding causes for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have been developing."

-- George S. Patton

Ignorant about his faith .. I don't think so!!

I believe the vast majority of the current armed conflicts throughout the world involve Muslims attacking their non-Muslim neighbors.

Churchill wrote this when he was about 25 years old:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities – but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
-Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).

Christianity is being attacked daily, while islam and secularism are protected and defended. Yes, what has happened to Europe can happen here in America if freedom loving Americans don't wake up!

Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.

Time for a new bumper sticker, instead of this one.

A crossed out Muslim flag, instead of the Mexican flag, and reading:

"I'll Make My Own Damned Baba Ganoush!"

You would be correct!

The “tolerant” LIBERALS don’t see the problem .. THE TERRORISTS (who are Muslims) ARE THE MOST INTOLERANT OF ALL OTHER RELIGIONS.

You should be able to copy it and send it to yourself in an email or send it to your “picture” directory on your own hard drive.

If that doesn’t work - you can contact me via “private” FReepmail and I’ll discuss other options.

Because there are something like 280 million Christians (or at least people who view themselves as Christian) in the USA. There are, what, 3 or 4 million Muslims here (and many of those aren’t jihadists). Sorry, I just think we’re gonna win this one.

Hey, DON'T be sorry!

I wish I shared your optimism.

In my work, I deal with teenage kids who strongly believe in things which simply are not true.

Thanks very much for doing what you do.  You're making a difference, even if that isn't apparent every day.

THAT is why I sometimes suspect I'm just being alarmist.

Our Nation is at war with a terrorist enemy that uses our superior technologies and our freedoms against us and who would absolutely love to behead us all with rusty knives or burn us all alive simply because we let our women wear miniskirts and we have holidays called "Valentine's Day" and "Christmas".  Recognizing the nature of the enemy isn't being alarmist, it's being a forthright, clear-thinking Patriot.

Then again, I work in Cambridge, MA and live in Boston, so I'm in the enemy camp, surrounded by lunatics. That's why I don't always trust my judgment.

I'm in Seattle, which is also part of the Belly of the Beast.  Reality is not evident here in the public square, and must be maintained at home and among close friends.

I've seriously considered moving to another state that's not so liberal, which gives me 49 to choose from.

If you choose Washington, be sure to choose the Eastern part of the State.  They are far more sane over there, by and large.

 

"sigh"

When I see women acting like that it makes me sick.

Agreed.  They are disgusting and not worthy of the title "Lady" by any stretch of the imagination.

Obama is nothing more than a crazy liberal and baby killing supporter.

I would wish to very politely suggest that he is in fact far worse.  Based upon what few substantive things he's said, his voting record and his wife's speeches, I would have no problems with openly calling him a Marxist.

 But I do believe if he were to win he will not last long. I really believe some nut job will attempt to take him out and then all hell is going to break loose.

If done prior to the election, it will insure his victory over ANY Republican challenger and probably insure two terms for him as well as carte blanche for any spending or taxation programs he could possibly dream up.

How could anyone possibly object to anything said or proposed by a black Presidential candidate who has just dodged an assassin's bullet?

What ignorance, all you have to do is read the Koran.

Yes, reading the koran is one way to learn about islam.

There is even a quicker way... Watch what they DO and read what they write!

It is no secret what their intent is. What I don't understand is why we are allowing it!
