ROCKY MOUNT, VA. — A Virginia congressman said Thursday he will not retract his letter to constituents in which he said unless immigration is tightened "many more Muslims" will be elected to office.

Rep. Virgil Goode, a Republican who represents the 5th District, triggered angry responses from an Islamic civil rights group and some of his colleagues by his letter to constituents who e-mailed him about a new Minnesota congressman's decision to use the Quran at his private swearing-in ceremony.

"I will not be putting my hand on the Quran," Goode told a news conference Thursday.

In a letter earlier this month to hundreds of constituents about Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, Goode warned that strict immigration policies are necessary "to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America."

"The Muslim representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Quran."

Which part?

Yes I find it scary that Minnesota elected a muslim.

Scary because the congressman is predicting the same political upheaval that France, Germany and the Netherlands are already experiencing, or scary because the southern redneck is bigot who needs a lesson in political correctness?

SO GOOD to see a politician who will actually speak the TRUTH.

I'm so sick of our great 'leaders' selling the line of "Islam is a religion of peace."

Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, just ask Nick Berg- who went to Iraq to HELP people.

Re: anyone else find this scary?
 

I find angry responses from Islamics scary.

I find it scary that an elected official to our government could care one way or the other what someone's religion is.

Last I heard we had freedom of religion and could be any one we choose.

I'm against illegal immgration myself but not against muslims.

I'm also against people who kill other people but I'm still not against muslims.

I'm not against a muslim using a Quran instead of a bible at his swearing in ceremony. After all what difference does it make what he swears on? They guy's a politician - he's probably lying anyway.

I am FOR people being free to worship as they please. I read that a student asked the guy why he didn't have a Quran in his office...he had some hard-line anti muslim answer where the real answer is probably more like the fact that he's not a muslim so why would he? Duh.

Stupid kills but not nearly enough.

I feel the same way but right now I believe we are in the middle of a religious war.

I draw the line at allowing people to 'worship as they choose' with those that saw the living heads off of peaceful Americans.

Call me crazy that way.

I don't see the connection between immigration & Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, he was never a immigrant, he converted is my understanding. I think Rep. Virgil Goode is living up to the stereotype of a good-ole-boy southerner.

I wonder if you'd think that if you were one of the people that owned the thousand plus cars torched by Muslims in Paris a few months back.

Yep, we're makin' all this stuff up just to make the Muslims look bad. That's the ticket! ;)

Who wouldn't? I draw the line at allowing people to worship as they chose with those who blow the living daylights out of peaceful Muslims too..... I draw the line at allowing people to worship as they chose with those who blow the living daylights out of peaceful Jewish people too..... I draw the line at allowing people to not worship if they chose with those who blow the living daylights out of peaceful athiest people too.....


Your statement above has no relevance whatsoever to Mikester's statement.

No, you're just solely focusing on the 1% of bad stuff and ignoring the 99% of good stuff. You have no perspective whatsoever.

Amen!

Who in American has blown up a muslim (a real one, not a NOI type)?

No one that i know of.

There HAVE been several muslim terrorists RIGHT HERE in America that HAVE maimed and killed Americans in the name of "Allah" though.

They just caught one planning to set off grenades in a mall in Chicago on Xmas eve last week.

Jihad: Coming to a neighborhood near you.

PS: NONE of your statements have any relevance whatsoever to reality. :)

And YOU do???

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is 1% of 1.4 billion.....Oh, right....it's an ARMY.

Sell your apologist commentary to Nick Berg miss. Oh wait, he ALREADY thought like you do. Until they hacked his damned head off with a knife for his troubles.

Yeah! . . like those "good Germans" in WW2 who decided that the slater wasn't their problem. . . Hitlers genocide didn't represent them.

Good stuff. . . really good stuff.:rolleyes:

Yes.


Exactly. It's an issue, but to address the issue, you need to accurately assess it first. It is indeed a lot of people, but assigning the guilt of the 300,000 onto the billion innocents isn't going to accomplishing anything useful.

They? A few men, yes. They is a handful of men who did it. These handful of men are guilty. You should be angry at those few men, not a billion innocent people.

And what am I apologizing for? I'm most certainly not apologizing for those few men who are barbarians. They are indeed guilty and deserve hatred. I am not apologizing for criminals, so (1) don't twist my words/make up words or (2) learn reading comprehension skills, please (not sure what your problem is, it's either you like to lie or you can't comprehend well). I have no need to apologize for a billion innocent people who did nothing, thus no need to apologize for anything. As such, your "apologist commentary" comment is invalid and inaccurate.

Please demonstrate the comparison of Hitler's Germany to 1.3 billion muslims around the world, please..... If you fail to, it will be assumed you're making up false analogies for nothing moe than to invoke emotionalism.

Ever hear of Godwin's law?


:rolleyes:

I hate to point this out miss "She of the deluded mind", but 1% of 1.4 billion is not 300,000.

It's 14,000,000.

So by your own figures, there are 14,000,000 head sawing Islamists running around with suicide vests and/or burning cars as we speak.

But you're right.....Islam poses no threat to us. :rolleyes:

. . innocently cheering from the sidelines for the death of infidels.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be afraid of, Muslims getting elected? Immigrants coming here to take our jobs? Are Mexicans becoming Muslims? I thought they were mostly Catholic?
I'm so confused!!!
Anyone for some eggnog?

Let us know when you figure it out Scott.

PS: That pancake will taste much better with some maple syrup, but probably not the bunny. ;)

I have to admit you're correct, "He who is nothing but a scared, chicken little, wimpass pansy who thinks he's going to die tomorrow and is scared of his own shadow". 1%, 14 million is not an accurate estimate. It's more like .0000000001%

c_c shows her New Math skilz.

Substantiate this statement with proof please.... 1 billion cheering is a tall accusation that merits proof.

LOL, yep, that's me, M21 Scaredy Pants.

And nice 10 digit revision in the span of two posts miss.

That must be some epiphany you just had.

LOL. If you ever wonder why you're ridiculed here...see above. :)

No scott, you're supposed to be scared of the bugga man.........

Run! Hide!!!!

So is offering a figure of .0000000001% of muslims being Islamists.(after offering a figure of 1% not two posts earlier)

Where's your proof? Oh, right. You do not adhere to the same standards you demand from others.

Sort of like a Muslim. What a coincidence. If one did not know any better miss, one would suspect you have absolutely no idea what you're babbling about. ;)

I am only "ridiculed" here by the complete morons of Pelican. ***** coming from ***** doesn't mean *****.

Don't like reality? Don't like perspective? Like being chicken little and accusing a billion muslims for the actions of .000001%? Your perojative, not mine. You want to be a moron, be my guest, buddy.

If the majority of people that opine in these threads are a few 'morons', then yes, you are correct.

Now it's .000001% CC?

Wow, that's the third time you've changed that number in the last 5 posts. LOL...make up your mind!

Or just admit you don't have a clue. :)

As a point of reference:

CC you don't seem to understand the term apologist as opposed to the term apologize, they sound very much the same but have different meanings.

a·pol·o·gist (ə-pŏl'ə-jĭst) Pronunciation Key
n. A person who argues in defense or justification of something, such as a doctrine, policy, or institution.

Apologetics

Now back to your regularly scheduled argument...

You are making the allegations that it's all of them, it is up to you to prove it is, not me to prove it's not (you're asking for proof of a negative, which is moronic, but not surprising coming from you).

You have no idea what you're talking about, you will never prove your preposterous allegations of all muslims. You can't. Cuz your delusions of every muslim being evil, murderous people or cheering murders isn't realit.

So, your 1 Muslim neighbor is the basis for your bizzare opinions. It's time to break-out the scientific notation, for that percentage.

Seriously, what dilusional world do you live in to not see the large group of Muslims happy or okay with 9/11?

Very few of the peaceful muslims stand up to the radicals, why is this?

Less then .000000000000000000000000000000000001% or whatever.

The problem is that this war is not about terrorism anymore. Its about religion. Its really that simple.

But I"m not justifying the bad actions by the creepy bastards. I don't really dig murder, rape, crime, etc. Not my cup of tea. The lack of reading comprehension on this moron's part is accusing me falsely of something I"m not doing.

I am saying that the actions of the bad jackasses belongs on the actions of the jackasses and is not (1) the religion's fault, but the jackass's fault and (2) is not the actions of the billion + innocent muslims out there... It's pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain.

So I'm not an apologist, since I'm not apologizing for anything....

Would you, Kyle?

Yeah. I would. Why wouldnt you?

War? You mean Rosie and Donald? What dose religion have to do with them?

Bartender... more eggnog... make mine a double.

What?
