In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.
After reading a few headlines about the newly appointed, and first ever, Muslim Congressman - Keith Ellison - some questions come to my mind.
How will a "Muslim" Congressman be received by a constituency that is, for all intents and purposes, at war against Islam -- ESPECIALLY if he takes his oath of office with his hand on the QUR'AN instead of the Bible, as has been rumored?
How does a "Muslim" Congressman reconcile his oath of office, which demands "true faith and allegiance" to the Constitution of United States and that he defend said Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic" (including Muslims labelled "terrorists"); with his Faith as a Muslim and the Guidance of Allah in the Holy Qur'an, which demands that he take no god besides Allah, and that he not partake in the killing of other Muslims?
This will be an interesting study, to say the least.
