political : IS THIS AN APPROPRIATE COMMENT TO MAKE TO THE FIRST MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN?

[+] serious ballot by cranky
ACTIVE Nov 20,2006 - Sat Aug 15, 09

Conservative gasbag, Glenn Beck, made the following comment to Keith Ellison, the first Muslim Congressman in the U.S.:

"And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.'"

* * * * * * * *

Is that an appropriate comment or does it simply indicate Becks anti-Muslim bigotry?

It's perfectly appropriate to accuse any Muslim of being a terrorist	120

So he only felt like saying it. Balls the size of petit pois.

Its not appropriate and its not fair, and yes its bigoted.

But, this sort of paranoia is going to continue becoming more widespread and serious, as long as the Muslim community doesnt do a good enough job of condemning terrorism. The Muslim communities need to make a REAl effort to dissasociate themselves from such extremism, or face bigotry like this. Simple.

how totally in appropriate! he should have been the consumate professional and said -- "so muslim dog, now that you're in congress, prove to me you're not working with our enemies to molest our male congressional pages."

^ then he should have gifted congressman ellison with a nice juicy side of pork. now that's how to treat a new congressman! manners -- you never realize how important they are until moments like that.
