Lawmaker apologizes for Muslim remarks



Way to go, Bill Sali - it's not like the founding fathers fought for freedom of religion or anything.  Matter of fact, Article VI of the Constitution:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
 
Amazingly ignorant paragraph at the end here too:
"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of common law." - Thomas Jefferson, February 10, 1814.  Congratulations Bill on getting added to the replacement effort list for 2008.
 
You know what would be an easy way to avoid the whole debate?  Not have prayer for ANY religion during political situations.  You know, that whole "Separation of Church and State" thing.
