Goode: Ellison’s Election Shows We Are ‘Vulnerable To Infiltration’ By Those Who Want Another 9/11
In a letter to constituents, Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) blasted Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, for using a Koran in a private, unofficial swearing in ceremony. Goode wrote, “I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States . . . .
"[W]e are at risk of “infiltration” by Islamic extremists who want another 9/11."
Goode’s remarks have been widely criticized as bigoted. But he’s not backing down.

I thought it marvelous that the copy of the Quran, which Ellison used in his private ceremony, was previously owned by Thomas Jefferson.
that WAS kule, wasn't it?
still, I'll bet this bunch don't care about that.
it's the 'DEVIL'S BOOK'!
Islamics are 'different from them' that's all that matters as far as they're concerned.
Isn't Jesus in the Koran?
The truth is no one swore in on anything - and that explains a lot.
welcome 1138--
glad to have you here.
yep--
no one has ever taken the oath of office in Congress on any book.
but, trust a right winger to muddy the waters this way.
my point, still, is that we used to take pride in our diversity. now it's held up as a threat.
**sigh**
