Congressman: Muslims Not Welcome In U.S.
A Virginia congressman has warned that "many more Muslims" will be elected demanding to use the Quran unless immigration is tightened.
Republican Rep. Virgil Goode made the comment in a letter to constituents who had written in about Congressman-elect Keith Ellison's decision to use the Quran at his ceremonial swearing-in.

This is the most un-patriotic, anti-American statement I have heard in a long time. "I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America." Values and beliefs traditional to the US? I was under the impression that one of the fundamental values and beliefs of MY nation was the right to freedom of religion. And it disgusts me to even contemplate the idea of having a religion requirement to become a citizen. So what if I, a natural born citizen of America, were to convert to Islam? Would that mean I forfeit my citizenship? Would I be expelled from the land of my birth? WTF is the problem with this man?
