Let me remind you of this, my Tea Party, Constitutionalist friends.

Amendment I to the U.S. Constitution reads as such:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I am Christian. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. I'm not Muslim. But the imam was within the rights of the United States of America, as was the Berrien County Board of Commissioners.

I've been in the Michigan House of Representatives when the invocations given were Jewish prayers. No one raised a fuss. I was there when they were Christian prayers. Again, no one raised a fuss. WHY – other than indoctrination by conservative talking heads like Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and others – is this any different?

Freedom cuts both ways, folks.

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Athiests, Satanists.. doesn't matter to me. Our laws GUARANTEE all of us that freedom.

The County Commissioners are there to hear the grievances and comments from the people of the county they represent. On ALL occasions that I have either been in attendance or have spoken, We were only allowed at the most, 2 minutes to speak, no matter how important our comment was or how pertinent to the county it was. Many times would not even be allowed to finish our sentence without the "gavel" being hammered again and again to shut us up !!! BUT this "man" was allowed to speak close to ten minutes without any gavel being "dropped" about a subject that did NOT have any importance to the county collectively…I'd like to have the Commissioners explain why he got to speak so long ?

That is what Muslims do in every community–work to ingratiate themselves while behind the scenes they pay zakat to finance terrorism. Or they actively engage in terrorism themselves–all for advancing the cause of Islam. Meanwhile, ignorance in local communities allows them to infiltrate low level government positions, giving them a public platform to continue to advance Islam. Let's face it–there are dozens–maybe hundreds at this point– of federal government positions they fill.

Just one suggestion–I wouldn't refer to the imam as a "minister"–Islam does not "minister" to anyone. Not even Muslims.

They make friends with Muslims while they bash conservatives. Muslims think gays should be killed and women are no better than cattle. Way to go GOP. /s Freakin genius'.

They practice bomb making to kill Christians, cutting off the heads of Christians. They teach their children to kill Christians.
What did you teach your children today ? How to pray like pigs ?
