Political Correctness On Display In Washington
As U.S. House Passes First-Ever Resolution
Honoring Islam and Ramadan
An Important Message from Brigitte Gabriel
Dear Gilbert,
For the first time ever, the U.S. House of Representatives, on a 376 – 0 vote, passed a
resolution honoring the Islamic holiday Ramadan and commending Muslims for their faith.
Congressman Tom Tancredo, one of 42 voting “present,” in a press release after the vote
cited the resolution as "an example of the degree to which political correctness has
captured the political and media elite" in America. He further stated: “I am not opposed
to commending any religion for their faith. The problem is that any attempt to do so for
Jews or Christians is immediately condemned as ’breaching’ the non-existent line between
Church and State by the same elite.”
Congressman Scott Garrett commented that in his five years in Congress he could not
remember a resolution honoring Christmas or Easter. As of this morning, a search by the
ACT for America staff had not uncovered any resolution in the past 20 years honoring a
Jewish holiday.
Other Members of Congress expressed being “troubled” by the resolution. Yet it passed
without a single “no” vote. Why? And why the special treatment of an Islamic holiday?
Because politically correct treatment of Islam is growing, and the pressures in
Washington to knuckle under to this political correctness have become extremely intense.
I heard this loud and clear from Members of Congress when I spoke on Capitol Hill on
September 10th. We know there are Members up there who are deeply concerned, and deeply
troubled, by the growing and glowing affirmation of Islam, given Islam’s past and
current history of violence, brutality, terrorism and intolerance. These congressmen and
women need to know that there are millions of Americans who share their concerns. These
congressmen and women need to know that there are millions of Americans who understand
that Islam, especially militant Islam, has not been a religion of peace, and is, in
fact, the major threat to peace and liberty in the world today.
This is why building ACT for America’s citizen action network is so immensely important.
http://tool.donation-net.net/act4america/VReg.cfm?dn=1097&commid=127952&id=27130 That’s
why we need the help of every concerned citizen. As we build our chapter network, as we
add tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands, then millions of concerned Americans
to this grassroots network, elected officials everywhere will know that there is another
voice in this great country, a voice of the people who will not be intimidated by, nor
bow to, political correctness. Our allies in the Congress and the state legislatures
will know it. So will those who put their finger in the wind to determine which way they
vote!
With over 220 people volunteering to lead chapters in nearly 40 states and four foreign
countries, we’ve gotten off to a great start.
ACTION ITEM #1: I’m asking everyone reading this to get involved in the ACT for America
chapter network by
http://tool.donation-net.net/act4america/VReg.cfm?dn=1097&commid=127952&id=27130 clicking
here.
ACTION ITEM #2: Then,
http://tool.donation-net.net/act4america/friend.cfm?dn=1097&commid=127952&id=27130 forward this email to every person you know and urge them to join
us.
ACTION ITEM #3: And finally, http://www.house.gov/writerep/ Contact your Member of
Congress about this resolution and let him/her know how you feel about their vote. While
you’re at it, please ask them:
Will you offer a congressional resolution calling on American Muslim Imams to issue
fatwas against Hamas, Al-Qaida, Hezbollah and the rest of the barbaric organizations
killing innocent people in the name of Islam?
Will you offer a congressional resolution calling for the closing of the mosques and
Islamic organizations in America that teach children that Christians and Jews are apes
and pigs…that teach children to hate for Allah’s sake...that teach children it is the
religious duty of every Muslim to overthrow America’s constitutional government and
replace it with Islamic government under sharia law...that teach children that in order
to fulfill the sacred obligation of Jihad they must invade the Western heartland and
struggle to overcome it until all the world shouts by the name of the prophet Mohammad?
Will you offer a congressional resolution calling for the closure of Islamic
paramilitary camps that exist on American soil, compounds where militants are being
trained in the tactics of armed Jihad?
Together, we must rise in defense of America,
Brigitte Gabriel
