In this day and age, it's not just ignorance but the propagation of ignorance that is troublesome.

http://tinyurl.com/88nlq75 LDS Perspectives on Mo
Elder Smith observed... Muhammad was “descended from Abraham... no doubt raised up by God...” to preach against idolatry. He sympathized with the plight of Muslims, who, like Latter-day Saints, found it difficult “to get an honest history” written about them. ... Elder Pratt ...express his admiration for Muhammad’s teachings, asserting “upon the whole, … [Muslims] have better morals and better institutions than many Christian nations.”
LDS appreciation of Mo's role in history can also be found in the 1978 First Presidency statement ... specifically mentions Mo as one of “the great religious leaders of the world” who received “a portion of God’s light” and affirms that “moral truths were given to [these leaders] by God to enlighten whole nations and to bring a higher level of understanding to individuals.”
Regardless what the left thinks of LDS - I most certainly have a problem with this.

Devastating. Incomprehensible. It's difficult to express the sadness this news brings. We lost a GIANT advocate for truth, justice and the American way today. May his family and friends and all those who followed his work find comfort in God. Rest in Peace, Andrew. You are already missed.

Curiosity begs the following question. Does American born Chu have muslim ancestry given his wiki page indicates he has ancestry (if not competing loyalties) from Taicang, in Jiangsu (see http://tinyurl.com/7gyecc4 )

Rather, as with the majority of this administration's policy decisions, they bow to foreign interests and instead fund & materially/politically support and encourage the resurrection of the Islamic caliphate through oil 'propheteering'.

This article first appeared in the British magazine Encounter in July 1979 and remains as relevent today as ever:

J.B. Kelly: Of Valuable Oil & Worthless Policies

Treason by any other name.

If Obama/Chu were in all honesty interested in weaning America off oil, this admin policy would not exponentially accelerate the greatest transfer of western wealth to the ME to continue importing their oil.
Instead of supporting domestic job growth through expanded oil exploration, drilling, and refining capacity which would also lower fuel domestic fuel prices as well as make profits which can be exploited for domestic development of alternate fuel technolcogy. -more

Hmmm. Current events appear to mirror events of '79 under Carter. Consider this administrations energy policies and this article in Guardian: "Saudi Arabia Ripe for Revolution". Recall the Siege of Mecca as told by Yaroslav Trofimov "On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. The same morning, hundreds og gunmen stunned the world by seizing Islam's holiest shrine, the Grand Mosque in Mecca."

Perce is correct to fight this incendiary injustice in the PA courtroom. On the other hand, it is incredibly distasteful to ally with militant atheists like Ernest Perce given this event's history. Pence and this group fought to gain entry into this community parade & won with the understanding he and his group follow the rules which clearly stated . . .:

“Everyone is invited to participate” provided they, according to the general behavior guidelines, “behave with due regard for the rights and feelings of other participants and / or spectators” and “refrain from words or behaviors which could reasonably be perceived as provocative, threatening, abusive, insulting or lewd” among other guidelines.

, , ,only to ignore/ break that contract/agreement.

As consolation, this incident and the fallout from this case illustrates this group wll likely have a much more difficult if not impossible battle to enter future parades.

Unless the audio tape & transcript of the hearing was altered, Martin's refutation is full of holes and opens questions to his credibility. Volokh.com actually posted the response from Martin. Having been RE-elected to a six year term on the bench, after running un-opposed, he stated :

out of respect to people with faiths other than Christianity, I DO have a Quran on the bookcase BESIDE my bench, and am trying to acquire a Torah, Book of Mormon, Book of Confucius and any other artifacts which those with a faith might respect). After 6 years on the bench, he's not trying very convincingly, is he?
Why didn't this 'judge' equally lecture Talaag Elbayomy for physically assaulting Ernest Perce, an act which is against the cultural norms of this country ? Why didt this 'judge' refuse to enter the video of this incident into evidence? Too many holes. Remove him from the bench immediately. I brook no alliance, however, for Perce. more . . .
