Islam and it's incompatibility with the USA. Top of the interest is how this group of 'Americans' view towards our government.

Speaking in Dearborn late Sunday night, the first Muslim elected to Congress
told a cheering crowd of Muslims they should remain steadfast in their faith and
push for justice.
"You can't back down, you can't chicken out, you can't be afraid, you got to
have faith in Allah, and you got to stand up and be a real Muslim," Detroit
native Keith Ellison said to loud applause.
"Allahu akbar" — God is great — was the reply of many in the crowd.
"Muslims, you're up to bat right now..." he said. "How do you know that you were
not brought right here to this place to learn how to make this world better? How
do you know that Allah, sallalahu aleyhi wasallam,” (meaning peace be upon him)
“did not bring you here so that you could understand how to teach people what
tolerance was, what justice was?… How do you know that you're not here to teach
this country?"
"On Jan. 4, I will go swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United
States. I'll place my hand on the Quran," Ellison said while placing his hand on
the lectern, to loud applause and cries of "Allahu akbar."
He urged Muslims to thank God for testing them over the past several weeks.
"Before you begin to think that some hardship has befallen you, you need to stop
and thank Allah," Ellison said. "Because this controversy has...made people dust
off their Constitution and actually read it ."
What I interpet out of that exchange is that one: I reinterate: You must speak 'arabic' to be a Muslim, English is definitely second place if at all. Two: Muslims do put their religion before the Country in so far as that goes, upholding the Constitution of the United States will come in confict with the Quran and Muslims will follow the Quran before the Constitution when it comes down to the wire in defense of the United States. Muslims are not able to seperate 'church and state', to Muslims, it is one and the same. Three: Ellison will sell out the United States at some point in his career due to his 'religious' beliefs and some Imam corners him and pits him with the Quran or our National Security secrets.
I also read another 'Crusader' comment from another terrorist moron last week...please read previous post about that.
Daily we get 'news' from Iraq, a bomb killed this many Iraqi's, American soldier killed, Iraqi government in chaos, etc etc. I heard and read today that during the beginning of the War, there were over 600 Embed reporters inside Iraq. Today that number is 9. Nine!!! So can the mainstream media gives us a whole picture of facts of what is happening over there??? Living and reporting soley from the Green Zone, they are totally unable to provide Americans the whole picture, and that would hurt the Democrats if they did.
President Ford, God rest his soul. A man, not asked to be Vice President, not voted in nor asked to be President, but was, and with class during and after. President Ford showed us how to be when fate calls upon one to step up and act. Then President Ford showed us how to live with humility after that time is over.
