A government school principal has banned the Pledge of Allegiance in his school. Not because he objected to the term “Under God,” but he was afraid the Pledge would offend Muslims. Because, apparently, there is no God in Islam:

At least one Muslim community leader says he feels the same way. Muhammad Najieb says that ‘God’ is central to the Muslim faith, and there are several references to him in every prayer.

Islam is a monotheistic religion, just like Christianity. This multi-culti nit wit has not only offended Muslims with his ignorance, but has actually “caused hurt feelings, and may foster bitterness and division within the community.”

Which goes back to Jim Quinn’s First Law: Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.

Each morning, my kids start their schoolday with the Pledge. There is no government knucklehead there to tell me they can’t say it because it might offend some protected class or group. Yet another benefit of homeschooling.

Hat Tip: Islam in Action

Duane Lester A one-man political wrecking machine, Duane was not always such a strong conservative. He did not always see things from through the filters of a right wing/libertarian belief system. Now he does. Duane grew up in the midwest, the son of two staunch Democrats. He served in the military overseas and has since moved back to the Midwest after touring around the world. He has a wife and four children. He has a big head. I’m tired of writing in the third person. God bless America.
