Nation's first female Somali American Muslim law makers takes Oath on Koran

[mdk]

It is more than a book, it is a way of life which is antithetical to the American way of life.

She is an example of someone achieving the American Dream.

American dream? what is that? and how does that jibe with the American way of life?

An immigrant from a war-torn country coming to this nation as a child and finds success in America as an adult. It sounds quite a bit like some members of my family. I wish her well.

Your example is way off base with none of the qualifiers that this woman has. She pledged her allegiance to both the US and the Quran they are mutually exclusive ideologies.

Nonsense. There are plenty of American Muslims that love this nation and thrive here.

. A little lacking in your comprehension skills there buddy ??

Not at all. I am enjoying watching some of you people pussy ache over the fact that a women decided to use the holy book of her choose for her swearing-in ceremony.

With all respect (because I respect and like you) too many beheadings lately, coming out of that so called "holy book" koran aka the religion of piss.

That religion has to be kept at arm's length....that religion doesn't belong with The West and with Christianity.

She is free to practice her faith in any way she wishes so long as she doesn't break any laws. This whole ordeal over her using the Koran at swearing-in ceremony is just plain silly in my opinion.

I like and respect you as well, Skye. Cheers!

If she does not break our laws, then she does not practice her faith in any manner she chooses.

Good thing she isn't breaking any laws. It appears the only things she is guilty of is inflaming thin-skinned whiners.

. Is that what you call dead Americans ??

I wish it were true.

Any Muslim who is true to the Quran could never live the American way, which on its face in nonsectarian and that is for starters.

Further according to ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman:

"In March 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied:

"It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once."

I don't mind as long as this law maker acknowledges U.S. trumps Sharia Law.

The whole point of taking the oath on the koran is that islamic law is higher our laws.

Why?

. Ever hear of symbolism, symbolic or representative of one's views on life ?? Then there is the thing of being compatible, comparable, having compatibility etc.

Yes....why not? Why not have her swear her oath of office upon something that has great meaning to her?

If the Bible represents American law, tell me, what is a fair price to sell my child into slavery? Should I be fined or stoned for planting peppers along side tomatoes? And should I play a pick up game of football because I'd be touching the skin of a dead pig?

Apparently 'honoring America' in your eyes is having people swear their oath of office on the Bible. Does this standard just apply to Muslims? Did Tulsi Gabbard not honor America when she was sworn in on the Bhagavad Gita?

You're right. You can't be a good Muslim and a good American.

 

[Nosmo King]

Islam isn't compatible with the I

Why is this a bad thing?

Shouldn't have to tell you.

So why is this a bad thing?

Because Islam is not compatible with our culture at all.

Even though Muslims have been here since the founding and are your neighbors and mine? Should A,Erica put a blanket ban on Islam as part of our freedom of religion? Is xenophobia part and parcel of the American culture you claim to love?

Her allegiance to the Quran was so string she had two ceremonies one was sponsored by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota where Imans did a great deal of the talking.

No. I'm pointing out absurdity with absurdity.

Mocking is just a bonus.
