Prejudice Against Isalm in Congress

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) was elected and decided to be sworn in on the Koran since he's a Muslim. Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) sent out a letter saying how wrong this was. "I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don’t wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran." It went on to say how we must prevent illegal immigration from the Muslim world (did Ellison come here illegally?, I doubt it) and what he told a student who asked him about the Koran. How do people this stupid get elected 5 times?
