this news report at Alpha News<\/a>, I am struck by this question: Why don’t conservatives make common cause with the local Muslims?<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey want good educations for their children, just like Moderates, Conservatives, and Christians do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muslims by and large are much more puritanical about these sorts of things and very specifically do not want infidels teaching this spiritually debasing poison to their daughters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if Senator Wesenberg and Rep Walter Hudson were to personally approach Imams in their district and statewide for their input on this issue. The Qur\u2019an highlights the community of faith between followers of monotheistic religions (Jews, Christians and Muslims), and refers to them collectively as\u00a0Ahl al-Kitab<\/em>\u00a0\u2018People of the Book\u2018<\/strong>, a phrase that is used frequently in\u00a0the Qur\u2019an and Prophetic hadith.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nMaybe the fastest way to do this would be for the GOP to amend the education bill with a requirement that ALL MN schools, public, private, and charter <\/em>be required to have these four books available for their students; \u201cIt\u2019s Perfectly Normal,\u201d \u201cSex is a Funny Word,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s So Amazing,\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Not the Stork.\u201d. <\/em>I’ll bet that would shake some peaches out of the trees.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nBetter yet, someone tell Erin Maye Quade or Leigh Finke to push the amendment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bet they’d do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As to making common cause with Muslims, especially ones that aren’t tied at the hip to the DFL? The time is long overdue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
