Whose a Muslim Hater?..Not Me!!!! I Just Don't Want Them Around
Oh my, where will it end. Now Muslim racism has raised it ugly head in the House of Congress. Virgil Goode a congressman from Virginia seems not to have learned the lesson of his racist colleague, the now deposed Senator Allen, who called a US-born ethnic American "Macaca" and welcomed him to how we do things in the good old USA. Turns out Allen was mistaken that because "Macaca" was not a foreigner and Allen revealed his basic deep seated bigotry against people of color or other nationalities and had his presidential aspirations blasted to smithereens in less time than it takes to shake a lamb's tail.
Virgil Goode is no better, and perhaps even more stupid. Just the other day he was speaking of Keith Ellison, the new congressman from Minnesota, who happens, by the way, to be a Muslim. Goode said that if the USA does not do more to stop immigration, more people serving in Congress will be Muslims and we just don't want that. This insinuated, in the first place, that Mr Ellison was somehow a foreigner and that foreigners are something to be feared; and second that Muslim people in the US were some kind of threat to everyone else. Where do these Virginian's get these "back hills" "cracker" notions and prejudices!!! They sound soooooo 20th Century.
The thing that irked Virgil was the fact that the honorable Mr. Ellison mentioned that if he would have a swearing in ceremony he would like to put his hand on the Koran (as opposed to Mr. Goode's choice which happens to be the Bible, but not the REAL Bible (which is the Old Testament), but the New Testament). Mr. Goode was seeing the future when not everyone he would know and maybe even some people who might be telling him what to do might be of faiths (or of no faith) other than his own, and he is scared. So scared that he is fear mongering among Christians and telling them they need to fear becoming the minority religion in this country. I am sure the old Romans heard the same stuff when the Christians were a small radical sect in the fist part of the first millennium.
Well, Mr. Goode, you racist intolerant fool, time to wake up and realize everyone on the planet (or even in the US) is not some mini-carbon copy of you! That there are other equally valid faiths and equally valid points of view, and that these people live and vote in the US of A. Seems that they should have some representation too, don't you think? How do people like Goode get elected????
I am tired of this Muslim bashing and fear mongering that all Muslims are Islamic extremists and that somehow their values and mores are antithetic to our own. It is like saying all Christian fundamentalists are abortion doctor murderers, which they are not. It is time to lay down the religion arms and look at the people and look and see what they do and look to see how they behave and look to see if they are making the world a better place for everyone, not must their little tribe or their little sect. That is the true mettle of a person. All this religious posturing MUST stop!

Seriously, after September 11th, any nation that was not insane would have halted all muslim immigration. We have absolutely no obligation to let them in. They come here at our whim. September 11th was far more than enough cause to bar the whole lot of them.
God Bless Virgil Goode! I have called his office and given my thanks.
