Democrats Change 181 Year-Old Rule To Allow Ilhan Omar To Wear Hijab In The House

Assholes, like this one wants to erase American history.....His motto... MAKE MARX GREAT AGAIN....Pathetic piece of shit!
Back to your OP, you seem to think the Muslims are being given preference, when the Congress opens with a prayer and there is a Chaplain.
I don't get why you feel anyone is being slighted by this.
Was there a Muslim that helped in the founding of America...there was a jew! Haym Solomon
What has that got to do with anything? Answer my question, please:
Congress opens with a prayer and there is a Chaplain.

Perhaps you dont realize that AMERICA was founded as a Christian country...I do realize that you ABNORMALS do not give a hoot about culture tradition, and over 200 years of a rich history!
No it wasn't ..... nice try tho. In fact the Founders made sure to put the 1st Amendment in because the Puritans were such tyrants.
I should know that you didnt recognize this...

So what? We are not a christian nation at all....we are, however, a nation with a majority of christians in it....of over a hundred denominations.
 
This has nothing at all to do with the Establishment Clause. No one is being required to wear anyone else's religious symbol. Islam is not being elevated to be the official religion of the U.S. House of Representatives. Where are you getting this stuff???
Fear...he's afraid of a young woman in a hijab.

There appears to some smoke-filled back room where a bunch of weirdos make up stuff to disseminate online to the foolish.

Not only is calling someone a "dothead" totally disgusting and repulsive, it also displays the ignorance of the people responsible for it. Wearing a dot on the forehead is a Hindu custom. This freshman rep is a Muslim.

I find it interesting that among several Ethiopians living in my neighborhood, some of the older women have the Ethiopian Cross tattooed on their foreheads.

I guess that I'm supposed to quake in fear as the woman in a hijab bags my groceries at the Giant.
Republicans are racist.

They don't know much about different religions because they simply don't know much about anything at all.

These are people who believe the earth is thousands of years old and we were shimmered into being from dirt. If you believe that, you can be brainwashed into believing anything.

Republicans prove that point.


Damn your triggered..


Once again separation of church and state .


Yet you want some dot head promoting her religion in Congress.


.

Once again, where do you find this law?


What I have to educate a teacher now?

And to think I am just a dumbass ass half polack/ German born in Chicago

There you go!
 
Because the rules were written for men wearing headgear at a time they never envisioned s Muslim woman being elected

Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

What is not clear?
So they would have made special exclusions for Muslims had they known?
This rule change is not special just for Muslims.

Of course it is you dumbass. It was not proposed until some district was stupid enough to elect one.
And it covers anyone of any faith requiring a head covering. So no, not special for Muslims. I don’t care how bigoted you are.

Keeping religious headwear out of the Congress applied to everyone just fine for decades, no matter how stupid and bigoted you are.

That's what she is doing violating the establishment clause as a public official..
 
The hijab is not religious headwear. It is a symbol of hatred against Western culture. It should not be allowed in Congress. Nor should Islam be allowed anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.
They stem from scripture in the Qur’an and is a symbol of modesty and faith.

And head coverings for religious belief has been allowed in the Senate. You rightards are only outraged now because your marionette strings are being tugged.

You're a fucking idiot. Koran is nothing but a filthy military recruiting tool designed to raise large armies of illiterate and obedient suicide killers. Islam is not a religion. It's a hostile and invasive medieval political structure akin to nazism which spreads by force.
Islam isn't a religion? :abgg2q.jpg:

Hell no. It's a hostile racist authoritarian ideology determined to spread itself by force. Much like a virus. It should be wiped out.

Probably some silliness like we hear from the other two patriarchal religions.
 
”The United States congress is not a public place.”

Congressmen/women are public servants and most of the Capitol is open to the public. Even the House & Senate galleries when not in session and to visitors acquiring a pass from a legislator when it is.

How Do I Tour the U.S. Capitol and See Congress in Session?

But that’s neither here nor there, the salient point is that the rule that is in place has nothing to do with religion. It’s not like that rule was put in place to separate church from state. Furthermore, this only applies to the House as the Senate allows religious head coverings...

...he shall not permit any person to place any object whatsoever--including hats, coats, or other personal apparel--or portion of a person on any railing, or any male to wear a hat, except that where a man's religious beliefs require that he wear a head-cover in such public places as the Senate Gallery, then such head-cover shall be permitted;

United States Senate Manual, 104th Congress-RULES FOR REGULATION OF THE SENATE WING OF THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL

... so what is the objection other than this being nothing more than conservative rage where the right presents a knee-jerk response to anything the left promotes?


The establishment clause you stupid tard



Es·tab·lish·ment Clause
noun
LAW
  1. the clause in the First Amendment of the US Constitution that prohibits the establishment of religion by Congress.

This has nothing at all to do with the Establishment Clause. No one is being required to wear anyone else's religious symbol. Islam is not being elevated to be the official religion of the U.S. House of Representatives. Where are you getting this stuff???


They changing the rules to promote one religion over another .

No, they did not. Also, you have no standing as it is a House rule.

No you want your cake and eat it too, she has no right to parade around Congress in religious bullshit..


..

What would be the difference if I wanted to wear a cross on the lapel of my suit?

The same thing as would a devout Jew or a Christian, since they all originate from the same source.

I wasn't asking you. I was asking the bonehead who stated none of us know anything about other religions. I noticed he's to much of a coward to answer.

Well, you'd better get started then, eh?
 
It is a shame we cannot harness ignorance as an energy source. This thread would offer an almost infinite source. :lol:
 
This is an expression of religion! I guess it’s OK when it comes to iSLAM. We’re screwed as a nation. Fucking ABNORMALS and worthless, spineless Repukes are taking us down the path of destruction!....Wherr are the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE scumbags when they should be up in arms....but dont let a 66 year old cross stand on public property to memorialize our fallen war heros!

For 181 years, the U.S. House of Representatives has imposed a ban on its members wearing head coverings. With Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress, set to take her oath of office in January, that rule—which would have prohibited her wearing her customary headscarves or the hijab—is slated to change.

The change was proposed jointly by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Incoming Rules Chairman Jim McGovern and member-elect Ilhan Omar as part of a larger overhaul package.

When Omar is sworn in next year, she will become the first federal legislator to wear a religious headscarf. Her arrival will mark a number of other “firsts” as well. The Minnesota Democrat will be the first Somali-American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent her state in Washington. She’ll be joined by fellow Midwestern Democrat, Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib, as the first two Muslim women in Congress.

Hats of any kind have been banned from the House floor since 1837.

I think this is nonsense. If I were a congressperon, I would wear a huge sombrero on my head with lights and bells and, maybe, a dancing monkey on it. I would wear it every day and force the other Congresspeople to explain why I can't.
