Well, does he think that Quran trumps the Constitution? We don't know. In all fairness, the writer of the article makes some fairly outlandish assumptions based on connections. I am connected to the Derby Trail message board, and Repent spews racist and homophobic rhetoric while promoting genocide on here. The writer of that article would likely connect the two and say that I too, advocate "eliminating" all homosexuals because I post here too.

See the flaw in that logic? Ellison is an elected congressman and his electorate had every chance to examine these issues that make him allegedly "unfit" to serve. The biggest one that everyone is freaking out about? He's a Muslim.

I'm having the same conversation in a Christian forum online right now -- it's really amazing to me how quickly the majority Christians are willing to forsake freedom of religion because it's a religion that's not their own. We should just change it to "freedom of Christianity," so that they don't have to pretend to actually support freedom of religion anymore.

Basically what I'm saying? This article is an ideologically flawed piece of crap.
