Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders is being prosecuted by a Dutch court for pointing out the same thing that many imams remind parishioners of every day: that Islam and the Koran provide the basis for attacks on, and undermining of, Western democracy and values.

If Wilders is jailed for speaking out against fascist religions, I’ve got only one question: Are conjugal visits allowed?

Experts and media have been going on about whether or not the Mumbai terrorists are affiliated with international terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda. This misses the point entirely. Who cares if they’re affiliated with al Qaeda? They’re affiliated with Allah. Besides, isn't 'al Qaeda', like, Spanish for 'Koran'?

President Bush has apologized to Iraq's prime minister for an American sniper's shooting of a Quran, and the Iraqi government called on U.S. military commanders to educate their soldiers to respect local religious beliefs.

An entertainment industry newsletter that I receive reports that Muslim Girl Magazine debuts this month. "The bi-monthly lifestyle magazine is targeted to American Muslim girls 14-18 yrs old and aims to challenge the stereotypes of Muslim girls in the US and will feature teen girls that are proud of both being an American and a Muslim...

"According to a study of US Muslim teen girls commissioned by the magazine, this group is not too different from the average US teen girl in terms of what they like (e.g. TV, internet, shopping, videogames, the phone etc). With that said, there are some differences -- for example, Muslim girls report they get their news from Al Jazeera, socialize at IslamiCity and among the things they do outside of school is study the Qur'an."

Good. It's important to challenge the stereotypes that people have of Muslim girls. Because here I was thinking that they watch Al Jazeera, hang out at IslamiCity and study the Koran in their spare time. 

The AP reported that Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison chose to use Thomas Jefferson’s Koran “because it showed that a visionary like Jefferson believed that wisdom could be gleaned from many sources.”

Of course, had Ellison lived when Jefferson did, Jefferson would have owned him.

Meanwhile, all that stuff about Muslims being the new black man doesn't make any sense to me. If Muslims are the new black man, why are so many black men, like Ellison, converting to Islam? Because they don’t feel black enough? Because they want to get in on the Muslims’ lucrative African slave trade?

Regardless, it’s nice to see Ellison respecting the founding father. After all, Jefferson may very well be his great-great grandfather.

Congressman Virgil Goode (R-Idiot-VA) sent out a letter to constituents that unless immigration is tightened, "many more Muslims" will be elected and will use the Koran at their ceremonial swearing-in.

Congressmen should be free to swear-in on books that reflect their deeply held beliefs.  As a result, incoming representatives will now have their choice of swearing in on either the Bible, the Koran or a stack of back issues of Barely Legal.

You can tell Congessman Goode is an experienced politician.  He was able to execute the difficult political maneuver of trashing both open immigration and religious freedom in one letter - a feat that earned him a 9.75 from the international panel of judges (after you throw out North Korea's high score of a perfect 10.0). 

Memo to Congressman Goode: Last time we checked it's called The Statue of Liberty, not The Statue of Circumscribed Freedoms.

Responding to constituent e-mails about Rep.-elect Keith Ellison's decision to use the Koran at his ceremonial swearing-in, a Virginia congressman warned that "many more Muslims" will be elected and "demanding" to use the Koran unless immigration is tightened.

Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., made the comments in a letter sent to hundreds of constituents about Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to Congress.

"The Muslim representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district, and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran," Goode wrote.

In response to criticisms that newly elected Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison would have his swearing-in photo op taken with a Koran instead of a Bible, Ellison noted, "There's no rule about separation of Mosque and State. (That's where you suckers screwed up!)"
