Blackstone: What are you reading, or what are you smoking?
Blackstone
The sheer disrespect and dishonesty you show is disheartening. As you will see, there are a number of errors about your post which I point out. I consider your absolutely fictitious assertions of fact downright disturbing.
um, because this topic was about a muslim? and If you read what I wrote, I said that any kind of religous fanatic ritual or prayer in a public place lacks any respect for the others, be it islamic or xtian or whatever.
As you wish, but since you quoted it, I'll just remind you of it instead of implying that you're not reading what I wrote:
-
while I agree that prayer sessions at the Capitol are generally inappropriate, why focus on muslims and "their religious shit"?
Now, this specific question I derived from your post:
-
and what muslims specefically will never learn is to Seperate religion from public life anf keep thier religon shit to themselves in private and in its appropiate Places(mosques), and Stop this annoying exhibiting and shoving thier religion up others !
I find it odd that you single out Muslims for this behavior, regardless of the topic. Its consistency among evangelical religions pretty much states the case:
-
and what muslims specifically will never learn ....
Muslims specifically?
-
and Stop this annoying exhibiting and shoving thier religion up others
As I pointed out, you might wish to reconsider the
facts of the case; as I cited previously--
Attendance is spotty for the daily prayer, which is given at the opening of each Senate and House floor session by someone selected from a broad range of clergy by Associated Ministries of Thurston County. (KING 5)
Now then, where is it that you get this idea of shoving? While I might on any other day agree with you about any number of evangelical religions, the
facts of this case are that:
(A) The legislators choose to hold this prayer session
(B) The legislators choose to allow the AMTC to select the clergy
(C) The AMTC
selected Imam Joban
Now, if a muslim Imam leading the prayer is inappropriate, then having the prayer at all is inappropriate. I reiterate again:
while I agree that prayer sessions at the Capitol are generally inappropriate, why focus on muslims and "their religious shit"?
from what I understood from your article they most certainly didnt pick him to chant and pray infront of them, but to discuss a certain topic.
How so?
I cite that very article:
- Republicans Lois McMahan of Gig Harbor and Cary Condotta of East Wenatchee went to the back of the chamber during the invocation Monday by Mohamad Joban, imam of the Islamic Center of Olympia.
- Attendance is spotty for the daily prayer, which is given at the opening of each Senate and House floor session by someone selected from a broad range of clergy by Associated Ministries of Thurston County.

Invocation (Dictionary.com)
1. The act or an instance of invoking, especially an appeal to a higher power for assistance.
2. A prayer or other formula used in invoking, as at the opening of a religious service.
3. (a) The act of conjuring up a spirit by incantation.
3. (b) An incantation used in conjuring.
Is there any part of Imam Joban's role at the Legislature that is unclear?
From what i understood in your article, a muslim guy did a prayer or a chant in a Capitol.
That's hardly a useful response. If you reconsider the
facts of the case in light of your angry focus on Muslims, I think you'll find that you might very well wish to extend an apology to Muslims.
I dont think that I said something that I need to apologize for
Well, that's up to you. But I think it very low to cast aspersions on Muslims simply because you either do not understand the facts of the case, or else you simply refuse to give Muslims the dignity of your honest consideration.
