Think Progress supports prayers with Allah but not Jesus

Think Progress again displays it’s alliance with Islamists. They now attack Sen. Inhofe for filibustering against a judicial nominee that supports Allah in prayers but not Jesus.

Inhofe Will Filibuster Judicial Nominee For Ruling Against Sectarian Prayers In Indiana Legislature

Inhofe does not appear to have explained his decision to filibuster in front of his colleagues on the floor of the Senate. But in statements that he entered into the Congressional Record, Inhofe cited a 2005 ruling in Hinrichs v. Bosman in which Hamilton found that the Indiana House of Representatives may open proceedings with “non-sectarian prayers” only. Inhofe called it “insane” that the ruling would allow payers to invoke the name of “Allah” but not “Jesus”:

INHOFE: Further, ruling on a postjudgment motion, Hamilton stated that invoking the name of “Allah” would not advance a particular religion or disparage another. So, praying to Allah would be perfectly acceptable. [...]

I find this line of reasoning to be insane. Who in this body would not identify the name of “Allah” with the religion of Islam any less than they would identify the name of Jesus with Christianity?

Think Progress then uses Islamic propaganda that Allah just refers to God in general.

Hamilton found that “sectarian content of the substantial majority of official prayers took the prayers outside the safe harbor the Supreme Court recognized for inclusive, non-sectarian legislative prayers in Marsh v. Chambers.” As Hamilton explained in a post-judgment ruling, “‘Allah’ is used for ‘God’ in Arabic” and as such should be permitted:

Nice try Think progress but one problem. Allah means The god, not God. Also Allah isn’t the same God of the Jews and Christians. It is the Arabian Moon God worshiped by Islam. So Allah is a sectarian name as Muslims even when praying in English say Allah, not God. It is a formal name of an entity.
Think progress is Administered by Faiz Shakir who is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hizballah, Al-Qaeda in Iraq and Iran. Of course Think Progress supports Islamo-Fascism, it is one of the voice pieces of the Leftist-Islamic Alliance.

    They couldn’t get the name right. It is Hinrichs v Bosma. What’s with the extra N?

    Think progress is backwards thinking to align themselves with such evil.

    Show some respect for the mental faculties (if not creativity) of the Islamists.

    In a wierd way, I’m just grateful they don’t worship donkey anuses.

    A couple years from now it would have been much harder to explain to my kids why Jesus is somehow taboo but we have to pray to Eeyore’s brown eye five times a day.

    Yeah the Progressives are allied with Islam because they hate Christians. They hate Jews also, but they disguise this by going after Israel and Zionism.

    Yeah, what happened to that previous story about Chuckie wanting to shut this place down?

    If push comes to shove I will give LGF2 their own server and rackspace at my favorite datacenter.

    savage-

    Well, the blog appears to broke though. Looks like there is a code error in that thread that is rogering the whole thing.

    At least that’s the way its looking on IE7.

    Nuke/delete the entire post and retry.
    My guess is that something in your database table got hosed.
    That’s the technical explanation anyway. :)

    Chen,

    I’m using FF and nothing is rogering here.

    I’ll have to look at it with IE7.

    Seriously, I think something is going on with our hosting outfit. Not the first time this has happened

    I loaded the loathsome IE7 and still saw no problemo.


  17. 17 | April 21, 2009 10:38 pm

    It’s a NO GO for me in IE7, but Chrome more or less displays it well enough. Not perfect, but at least I can read it.


  19. 19 | April 21, 2009 10:41 pm

    Thanks, Jimmy…

    I just checked it in IE7 and its loading up properly.

  22. 22 | April 21, 2009 10:58 pm

    yea whatever you did, that fixed it.


  23. 23 | April 21, 2009 11:00 pm

    Chen,

    There was a lot of really weird code and lots of html tags that made my head explode. I stripped all of that out and cut and pasted only the text.

    [...] April 22, 2009 by John Contrary to popular belief, liberals aren’t opposed to prayer. They’re only opposed to praying to Jesus. If you want to pray to an Arabian moon “god” popularized by a blood-thirsty pedophile warlord during the Dark Ages, progressives have your back. [...]

    Its amazing that the same Country (people) who fall all over themselves in fear of a mythical “evil” Christian cabal to Jesus-ize America would be proponents of allowing the use of the name Allah.

    This supposedly highly complex legal issue can be resolved by asking one simple question: Does anyone OTHER than one religious group use that word to describe G-d? This is the same criteria that would disqualify the use of the word Jesus.

    Its really not that difficult of an issue as ONLY the Muslims use the world Allah.

    It does however open up a question as to the use of the descriptive term “Ha Shem” (The Name) used by Jews instead of the others names of G-d out of respect to the holiness of the names of G-d.

    Out of an abundance of caution however, I would rule in that case that it is just better to use the word G-d.

    How anyone can get this wrong is amazing and evidences a hyper-willingness on the part of most these days to break standing tradition, and universally accepted American standards to be “welcoming”, “tolerant”, and otherwise bend over backwards for Islam.

    How about “GOD” instead of Allah. Come on TP, how about it?

    Standard TP -OH HELL NO, THATS THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN quote GOD unquote!
