I don't agree with the other posters so far. I don't have a problem with the prayer as long as it's delivered in English.
"It makes me embarrassed to know that some of our legislators can't even treat someone with that common respect,"
I agree with this legislator. I just wish they would remember this when this issue is opening prayers at schools and at basketball games.
A little quiet respect and tolerance is all that's asked in both situations.

Washington State is disgusting ... but not as disgusting as the "Islamic Services at XXXX" sign I see in front of the base chapel. Oh brother.

If two or more legislatures walked out during a prayer given by a rabi or a priest, this would be NO NEWS!
The question is not "tolerance" but one of forcing us to believe something which is patently untrue. Islam is NOT a religion of peace, it never has been and never will be.

Two points:
(1) What respect are Christians or even Americans accorded in any Islamic nation? Respect is a two way street.
(2) This nation was founded by people who believed in the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. The god of the Muslims is called Allah. He is NOT Adonai Jehovah. From the writings and lifestyles inspired by this god Allah, I would have to say that he is either a chief demon or Lucifer himself. If you want to pay respect to Lucifer and his minions, that is your prerogative, but don't presume to moralize to those of us who don't.

Can you imagine the PC caterwauling if a Christian at thre Legislature prayed "..We open the session in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ"?
