Brace yourself for the following letter, shared with C-VILLE by John Cruickshank, chair of the local Sierra Club chapter. Representative Virgil Goode (www.house.gov/goode) told us, through his press secretary, ?I wrote the letter. I think it speaks for itself.?

 

 

Congress of the United States

House of Representatives

Washington, DC 20515-4605

 

December 7, 2006

 

Mr. John Cruickshank

7?? S?????????? Dr.

Earlysville, VA 22936

 

Dear Mr. Cruickshank:

 

Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. 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. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country. I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped.

 

The Ten Commandments and ?In God We Trust? are on the wall in my office. A Muslim student came by the office and asked why I did not have anything on my wall about the Koran. My response was clear, ?As long as I have the honor of representing the citizens of the 5th District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, The Koran is not going to be on the wall of my office.? Thank you again for your email and thoughts.

 

Sincerely yours,

Virgil H. Goode, Jr.

70 East Court Street

Suite 215

Rocky Mount, Virginia 24151

 

Cruickshank had never communicated with Goode?s office about Muslim immigration or official uses of the Koran. According to Goode?s office, Goode had received a flood of e-mails from constituents in response to newly elected Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison?s declaration that he would use the Koran, not the Bible, when being sworn into Congress next month. This letter was Goode?s response to those e-mails; Goode?s office says Cruickshank received the letter in error.

*Offer void for islam

He is politicking.

 

 

His choice not to have anything with the Quran. I know that if I were elected to public office, I wouldn't swear an oath on a New Testement Bible, rather a Tanach.

It's just a Carlos Mencia quote.

You really need to watch some Comedy Central man.

The sad part is this is just another case of American's committing the logical fallacy that because there is one black bird that it follows that all birds are black. Just because some Muslims are terrorists, it does not mean that they all are.

 

I wonder how Muslims tag some other minority to pass the "it" on?

Ellison can't win either way, he swears on the bible. He's called insincere and a guy who doesn't respect the oath he's taking. He chose the other option, and he gets this.

Ellison did not ask, or demand, Virgil H. Goode, Jr. to swear on the Koran. He made an issue out of nothing.

nobody needs to swear on any bible when taking the oath.

 

this story has been bogus to begin with.
