I thought the only Muslim in Congress was Keith Ellison, who arranged for the imams to get thrown off their flight by acting like hijackers?
Watt you talkin’ bout McCollough?
If loons on the left are the same as loons on the right, then I assume loons in the middle and loons over there are the same too? So–a loon is a loon as far as loon-ness goes? A very fine tautology but what is the loon-ness that is of interest as it is looney to me to suggest this video clip supports the notion that American schools should be modeled on madrasses. From what the video says==JUST THE OPPOSITE. He wants each type of learning skill to be catered to is where the clip is going. You cut if off before he really said much of anything.
Why you so looney McCollough?
From the whole clip:
“… to represent Muslims in Congress…” – he should learn his Constitution and who he represents by the Law. He represents ALL people of his district. He is NOT supposed to represent Muslims in Congress. There is NO such position in USA Government dedicated for anyone to represent ANY religion in Congress or any other branch of the Government.
“… when economy struggles we see heightened domestic violence in Muslim families…” – what about “honor” killings when times are good or bad? Is that domestic violence? Any condemnation of that horrifying practice among that and exclusively that religious group? No? Just blame economy not your own “religious” practices? Is there “first to throw the stone…” in Koran?
And, finally, word for word:
“America will never tap in educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our Madrasses…” – NOT OPPOSITE. I do not care how he tries to sweeten the word pot after this statement. Absolutely irrelevant. Particularly to anyone who have witnessed “Madrassa education” first hand. It is modeled on brain washing. Endless repetition and punishment of any dissent or free thinking. It is 1984 without rats. So, no – particularly in the light of two above statements from the same speech – I do not buy his sweet talk about education later on. No. He is typical Muslim extremist. And typical Left Progressive with anal control issue.
Me Muslim hater? – Been on Muslim friends re-burial from the Srebrenica massacre, Muslim friends who saved lives of a number of my relatives from Muslim Extremists just like the idiot above. Seen all fractions first hand. Hating only the hateful ones.
Thanks dusanmal–I thought he might get there in a fuller clip, but not in what I saw in the OP.
I enjoy the confusion in the PUBLIC about the role of religion in society==it should be rooted out, denigrated, made fun of, put on Pedro’s donkey, and rode out of town.
Constitutionally–there can be no religious test for office. That almost begs the electorate to throw all religious shamsters out of office. Bigotry and lying and serving a small base is no way to elect our leaders, though it is our tradition to do exactly that.
Stoopid Hoomans.
I’ve been thinking.
If religious books were seen as secular books of philosophy (or more simply, A User’s Manual for Humans), how would they be regarded differently?
Would BB parse the good ideas from the nonsense, and be better for the effort?
Or, is the whole thing just about manipulation and control?
I find it strange that you have to be told, by the framework of a religious body / within a religious building, how to understand the word of God.
Are these religious things inside the “No Spin Zone”?
Religion is still food for thought? Maybe so, but how many nails does it take to nail a coffin shut?
There are two almost wholly separate issues that are always conflated and confused: god and religion. One having almost nothing to do with the other.
Whatever your strange diet is, that distinction probably answers 95% of the questions.
For the remaining 5%? — Both full of BS.
That way they could have religious instruction over and over from the authorities.

However from November 2009 till June 2012 is rather more than one month. I’d say that a trend has become well established. YMMV.
I see absolutely no difference between this guy and some idiot from the Christian/Catholic Church saying the exact same thing.
What’s the point of this story? Could it be that most readers here might take offense that this idiot is a Muslim?! I see this story as nothing more than sensationalism. It’s obviously good for ratings. In fact, I wonder if anyone will even listen to the real topic here – education!
Face it. Most American’s don’t really understand Muslims and ever since 9/11 actually hate them. You might even say we’ve been somewhat culturally brainwashed! So when we see a Muslim like this guy talking about serious subjects such as education we tend to want to shout them down for no other reason. It seems very hypocritical too.
But I see no difference – all religion is stupid! And when you take that into account there’s really no real story here other than the usual bitching and moaning over a broken educational system.
Ahhhh, the picture is starting to form: religion is stupid whether on the left or the right? Kinda like whatever McCullough is thinking of when he says looney?
“YOU KNOW”… as a matter of logical mathematical progression, if religion was looney, then what McColluough says would be absolutely correct.
Now, we just have to figure out if all religions are looney and if everything looney is religious?
What does the group here think about magic burlap underwear? My Magic Eight Ball says that is both looney and religious. ….. We may be on to something here.
Wish I had more edumacation.
I think if some official from the Catholic Church comes to talk about children in school you should get worried – although not as worried as the children !
Just curious, based on what information did someone decide that this guy is left???
The Left is generally associated with the Democratic Party.
Agreed. The generic term ‘wingnut’ however, is reserved for the right
“Right” and “Left” is relative. Under the world-wide standards the Republican party would be a extreme right party and the “Democratic Party” a moderated-center right party.
He’s right about the different kind of learners: visual, auditory, kinesthetic. Don’t need any particular flavor of religious school to help kids learn via their own style, though.
The left used to be associated with the Democratic party. Now the Democrats are the middle-of-the-road moderate Republicans, and the Republican party is off in the weeds. Note that Saint Ronnie the Reagan would be considered a flaming liberal by today’s Republicans.
I’m a liberal; I have no major political party representing me.
“Loonbats on the left differ little from loonbats on the right.”
Well, except for the fact that there are many “loonbats” on the right pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into Republican campaign coffers. Other than that, not much difference.
Excuse me, “making independent expenditures”. Right. Nudge, nudge, wink.
I agree, there are no Hollywood Liberal Loonbats giving any money to Obama’s campaign…none.
Am I right?
There certainly are Hollywood Liberal Loonbats giving lots of money, but even F0x News admits the right is giving much, much more.
Sheldon Adelson recently gave Romney”s Super-Pac $10 Million. And according to that stalwart right-leaning magazine Forbes; “A well-placed source in the Adelson camp with direct knowledge of the casino billionaire’s thinking says that further donations will be “limitless.” ”
What one Hollywood Loonbat has come close to this $10 Million, much less the promise of “limitless”.
I see that most of Dvorak’s readers are loonbats of the left.
None seem to be aware of what goes on in the majority of Madrassas around the world.
Probably the same thing that goes on in Vacation Bible School.
If you identify with any line of thought (notice I didn’t say idea), then you may have given up assessing ideas on their own merit, and have become a drone/tool of someone else.
And that my dear fellow, is why Taxed/Alphie, is seen to be equivalent to a fool running through the streets naked.
Let’s all admit that education is brainwashing.
Once anyone gets past high school, we come to realize that most of what we were “taught” is pure horsehockey.
American History is condensed, sanitized, and rewritten.
Independent thought is discouraged in favor of groupthink.
Outside of reading, writing, and ‘rithmatic, all other education is brainwashing.
There is really no difference between the Maoist Communists in China and the right-wing wingnuts in America. They all march to one kind of mantra or another. Nonconformists are ostracized and criticized and marginalized.
Personally I think we have grown into a Country of extremists on both Left and Right. No moderates with common sense and concern for all. Only those with agenda’s and strong minded convictions on certain issues. Unwilling to bend on any issue and find common ground. Its gridlock in the worst way.
The moderates are smart enough to keep their mouths shut.
If they say anything, they know they will get their ass kicked from the left and the right.
We are called The Silent Majority.
Yes, we have extremists on the left. They are a small wacko fringe.
Wacko extremists are the conservative BASE.
It’s not the same.
I’m not prejudice or anti-religious etc., but I just wish that countries like the USA and Canada would close their borders and kick out all of the people from africa and the middle east.
They flee their countries to the “freedom” of the USA and Canada because of suicide bombers and murderous religious beliefs and sh!t in their countries.
Then when they get into power here they want to change our countries into theirs. And bring all of that sh!t over here. And most people here let them do it!
I think you guys are being reactionary.
I’ve personally been in a couple of madrassas that seemed fine to me. Kid’s studying their alphabet, primitive math and what-not.
I know that Americans are only aware of radical madrassas and I’ve seen those too.
I’m no expert but at least I’ve been in a few, talked to the mullah’s etc. Have any of you been in the madrassas that this congressman is referring too?
All the more reason to get rid of the Department of Education and foster an environment of minimizing government influences on the masses.
But of course the Teachers’ Union will not stand for that since it could potentially cost people their lives as more apathetic parents decide to put their children in charter schools (or dare I say home-school their children).
Until then, who’s in control? The people? Or the government who “educates” its citizens into what they should / shouldn’t know?
I think Alan Keyes quote best sums things up:
