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.

Like the Russians for so long, they will bury us in due time, in more then one way.Shame on you. This is not the way an American talks.
You wonder "where America went?" America exists in spirit first. Relinquish that, and you relinquish all America could and should be.

They didn’t publish this in the Indianapolis Star, just like they didn’t publish it when Julia Carson was dying.

It is not a faith. It is a political world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion so as to get all the benefits that this generous country gives to religions.

Let me also say Andre Carson hasn’t included this snippet of information in his television campaign ads.

"It wasnt just 19 Islamic Terrorist that killed nearly 3000 on our soil, it was the whole religion EVIL CULT of Islam that killed nearly 3000 on our soil. They do not hide what their intention is, yet they are welcomed here with open arms, and given protection from criticism, and continue to grow in numbers and political influence!

Very powerful. Thanks for posting the link Dogbert (post #71)!
As long as Jihadis are able to teach their children that the greatest thing they could ever aspire to is to be a shahid, a martyr in Jihad, then we will have to deal with this problem. It is taught in the Islamic schools known as Madrassas, in the mosques, in the Jihadi households, and it is passed on from generation to generation. Until we can stop the passing down of evil teachings, we will have to fight this evil.

No Islam will never take over the United States. Never! Europe on the other hand... How can you be so sure?
This Country is practically being handed to them on a silver platter!

Today’ mass bombing in Pakistan took place in Islamabad. What does the name of that city mean? It will take a lot of denial to get past this one.

I would hope that the media would get material from this character that showed the evil of jihadism and why American Muslims should on a daily level condemn the murderers. That might get him elected. But, since he is a Dem, his liberalism is probably as evil as his faith, so let us pray the Pub beats the Second Muslim on their way to Congress. The hell with diversity.

He should want to combat the ignorant in his faith

When I see women acting like that it makes me sick. Obama is nothing more than a crazy liberal and baby killing supporter. 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.

So he’ll advocate running 9-11 footage 24/7 on C-SPAN?
Or 1300 + years of murder and mayhem and animalistic violence...

Kids today think more of hollywood than love and protection of their own country. They don’t have a religion they have hollywood standards. Look at all the hollywood celebs who support the democratic party, they live the same immoral lives and this is what the young people today see as cool.So you got all these hollywood types cheering on Obama and know absolutely nothing about him! Disgusting.

Thanks RTO for that fantastic link of a summary of islam. I am reposting the link.
A must read for ALL. Islam 101
I also highly recommend Robert Spencer's "The Politically Incorrect Guide to ISLAM (And The Crusades).
