Default Islam not for Goode
That damn freedom of religion sure is pesky! Maybe we should rid ourselves of that.

Sometimes Wikipedia goes too far...anyways, their immense article on the column that began this "controversy"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran_O...tates_Congress

I like this Gem:

The American Family Association reprinted the Prager article on their website and linked it to an email generator and sent out an "action alert" to its 3.4 million members urging readers and members to send an “email asking your U.S. Congressional leaders to pass a law making the Bible the book used in the swearing-in ceremony of Representatives and Senators.”[29][67]

AFA President Tim Wildmon said “Swearing in officeholders on Islam's holy book ‘represents a change in our society, our culture, if we hold up the Quran as equivalent to the Holy Bible. If calling the Bible superior to the Quran in American tradition and culture is intolerant, then I'm guilty.’"

Of course, According to Article VI, section 3 of our Constitution:
"no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States"

Hmmm, so the American family Council is asking for the passage of an unconstitutional law... no suprise there.

Hell will freeze over before I ever vote for Bible-thumping right-wingers like Virgil Goode.

This politician sounds exactly like the type of person,
who would support Ku Klux Klan or the Nazis if it were political correct
(especially if these groups would be for a country that is not (only) pure by race, but also pure by religion )
