1st Session

H. RES. 635
Recognizing the commencement of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal, and commending Muslims in the United States and throughout the world for their faith.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

September 5, 2007
Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas (for herself, Mr. MEEKS of New York, and Mr. ELLISON) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs

------------------------------­------------------------------­--------------------

RESOLUTION
Recognizing the commencement of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal, and commending Muslims in the United States and throughout the world for their faith.

Whereas since the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, threats and incidents of violence have been directed at law-abiding, patriotic Americans of African, Arab, and South Asian descent, particularly members of the Islamic faith;

Whereas, on September 14, 2001, the House of Representatives passed a concurrent resolution condemning bigotry and violence against Arab-Americans, American Muslims, and Americans from South Asia in the wake of the terrorist attacks;

Whereas it is estimated that there are approximately 1,500,000,000 Muslims worldwide;

Whereas Ramadan is the holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal for Muslims worldwide, and is the 9th month of the Muslim calendar year; and

Whereas the observance of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan commences at dusk on September 13, 2007, and continues for one lunar month: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That--

(1) during this time of conflict, in order to demonstrate solidarity with and support for members of the community of Islam in the United States and throughout the world, the House of Representatives recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world; and

(2) in observance of and out of respect for the commencement of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal, the House of Representatives acknowledges the onset of Ramadan and expresses its deepest respect to Muslims in the United States and throughout the world on this significant occasion.

How do they have time to acknowledge Ramadan?

Our borders are not secured and we have bureaucracies that cannot find 20 million illegal invaders and they are powerless to stop the influx.

Social Security is not fixed.

We have people in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They have no time to waste with observing Ramadan. If they have spare time I think they should spend it figuring out how they are going to deal with the increasingly irate legal citizens.

Huh? Since when did our government become so sympathetic to Islam when they do everything to try and silence Christianity which is the only true faith that leads to salvation and deliverence from the fires of hell?

Amen!  If there's a TV camera within a mile, whatever you do, don't get between it and Sheilah Jackson Lee if you don't want to be trampled.

Whereas Swedish girls are having to dye their hair dark to avoid sexual harassment from Arab boys

Whereas women from Belgium are beaten up in the streets by Muslims for wearing jeans

Whereas Lars Vilks is now in hiding with a bounty on his head

Whereas there are now armed guards in Germany at high schools because of the fights between Germans and Muslims

Whereas Oslo, Norway has more rapes per capita than New York City due to the mass immigration of Muslims

 Resolved that:

It's time for some ass kicking

All right!  where is it?  I saw a post that said something like "41 Republicans ( including presidential candidate Tom Tancredo) and one democrat voted 'present'.

I wondered why they singled Tom out and went looking for the bill.

Veeely interestling.  There are no 'nay' votes.  Duncan Hunter did not vote.  maybe he was on his way to Wyoming.  Presidential candidates Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich voted in favor of the bill.

The ACLU only gets involved if it relates to getting rid of Christianity.
