MUSLIM IN CONGRESS
CNSNews.com) - When he is sworn in as a member of the 110th U.S. Congress on Jan. 4, 2007, Congressman-elect Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) will not take the oath of office with his hand on a copy of the Koran - or any other book, according to a spokesman for Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to the House of Representatives.
Maybe all the concern about a Muslim in Comgress may not be such a big deal after all/.

Since about 99.9% of Muslims are not terrorists, Mr. Ellison's presence in Congress won't bother me all that much, except for that "D" next to his name. :-)

An Up-date.
CNN is reporting that Ellison is not only the first MUslim in Congress but that he will use the Koran. He will be the first to ever take office wqithout a hand on the Bible. Of course, the crap is starting to fly, about the undermining of America and such.
I do not have a link yet, but I am working on it.

Try to find the link that explains nobody actually places their hand on a bible of any religion.
