9 House members praise Islamic faith, won’t recognize Christian observance
Only weeks after voting for a resolution that “recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world,” nine Democrats in the U.S. House refused to vote for a Christmas resolution that condemns the worldwide persecution of Christians.
Congressman Steve King on Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, said,
“The [nine] naysayers didn’t make it to the floor to debate. I would like to know how they could vote Yes on Islam, Yes on the Indian Religions and No on Christianity when the foundation of this nation and our American culture is Christianity…I think there’s an assault on Christianity in America.”
Nine Democrats voted No – Ackerman, Clarke, DeGette, Hastings (FL), Lee, McDermott, Scott (VA), Stark and Woolsey.
Nine Democrats voted Present – Conyers, Frank (MA), Holt, Payne, Schakowsky, Schwartz, Wasserman Schultz, Welch (VT) and Yarmuth
H. Res. 847: recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith
The nine Members voting NO were:
Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) (FL), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA), and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). None of the nine voted against resolutions honoring the Islamic holiday of Ramadan and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.
FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL
The Ramadan resolution began:
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 Ramandan commenced at dusk on September 13, 2007, and continues for one lunar month: …”
The Christmas resolution started:
Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world… Whereas on December 25 of each calendar year, American Christians observe Christmas, the holiday celebrating the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ…Whereas many Christians and non-Christians throughout the United States and the rest of the world, celebrate Christmas as a time to serve others:”
The Ramadan resolution then acknowledged “the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world,” expressed “friendship and support for Muslims,” noted “the onset of Ramadan,” and rejected “hatred, bigotry, and violence directed against Muslims.” It also “commends Muslims … who have privately and publicly rejected interpretations and movements of Islam that justify and encourage hatred.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
The worst part is that they don’t care about offending millions of Christians, but God forbid someone offend a Muslim!
America was founded by Judeo-Christian principles. We are not islamic. mohmed is not our prophet. Any SOB politician that votes to recognise child molesting, women oppressing, slave trading, suicidal satanic ritual holidays ought to be drug out of Congress
These wackjobs will die someday and when they’re standing before God on Judgment Day… His Son will remember their dispicable VOTES! Love to line these 9 sorry ass*s up against a wall and … ! And these pukes are U.S. legislators?
Amen, when these folks are before the Lord they gotta lot of ‘splained to do.
Absolutely shocking, these people should be hounded out of office.
Islam is a growing menace.
We have the same problems with them in the UK,(and the same problems with politicians)
Just lately, one of the chief Muslim infiltraitors,the Head Honcho of the Muslim council for Britain, categorically refused to condemn public stoning!
Listen up America.Fight the damn Muslims!
I wonder if it’s more of a personal safety thing. I mean, after all, if they were to “offend” Muslims, there’s a good chance that things would start burning and people would start dying. If they “offend” Christians, well, the Christians are going to go on with their life, not start burning and killing.
The Democrat Party is the home for cranks and screwballs and borderline psychos. It’s taken years of work, but the transformation is nearly complete – where else could a fat, masochistic creep like McDermott find an audience, or white-hating blacks like Hastings and Lee.
What they have in common is their districts. CA, NY and, where applicable, race. In any other world, these losers would be prowling dumpsters and shrieking on street corners. We need them to remind us of how truly awful the Democrat Party is.
Does anyone know if Keith Ellison voted and how did he vote ? I can’t find out. If he didn’t vote with the gang of 9 why not.
Furthermore, this nation was founded on a Christian-Judeo foundation. When all these moslems came here they sure should have known that up front. And that goes for any immigrant who comes here
Head to toe burqas for all nine House Democrats.
Mark – The Final Vote Results link shows Ellison as voting Yea. I’m guessing after the passage and Islamic win of the Ramadan resolution he was wise enough not to identify himself with those nine very stupid House Democrats. This will give him cover for the next House integration of Islam into the nation’s fabric.
PS: To the following nine scumbag legislators:
Thank GOD Alabama made CHRISTMAS one of it’s state holidays in 1836, and GOD BLESS U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant for making CHRISTMAS a US federal holiday! Yeah secular scumbags in political office… in the 1830’s and 1860’s!!!
Darth, I truly believe that. Thank you.
Sierrahome,I second your Amen. They better start working on their story and God will know if they lie to Him.
Ian, nice to meet you, yes I know what you mean. There are those of us that do know what is going on and are outraged by it. Yet others want to keep their head in the sand so to speak.
Ogre, there is that of course, fear is a powerful thing.
Unfortunately, the weakness that these men and women in power have will be a part of the destruction of our country. There wouldn’t even be a USA if this kind of man and woman existed long ago. The same for those that crossed our country in covered wagons.
We all need to pray for our country and for strong conservative leadership or who knows where our great Nation will end up.
Rhod they sure are awful. I will never forget how totally shocked I was when I learned that there actually are communist and socialist party members in both Houses. Congress is loaded with them. I still am shocked and it was back in 1997 that I learned about it. sheesh
Mark, I agree, they need to be told and realize they can’t come here to try change it to Islam.
Les, LOL that is a GREAT idea. Burka’s on all 9 of them.
Darth, thanks you bet!!!
