OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma lawmaker is objecting to getting a copy of the Koran from the Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council.

"I object to the use of the state Centennial Seal and the state Seal all in an effort to further their religion," state Representative Rex Duncan said Monday.

Duncan also wrote his colleagues that he rejected the gift because "most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology."

I'm surprised he said this (and that no one else posted this yet)

"most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology."

I think CAIR is going to come a knockin.

We love Duncan Hunter !!!!!!!!!!

[shekkian]

A big round of applause.

[gridlock]

Gotta love those guys named Duncan. Must be a boy-named-Sue kind of thing...

[WakeUpAndVote]

Only accept a Koran if THEY will accept a Bible in exchange.

Muzzy never will.

[gridlock]

Obviously, the ACLU and Separation of Church and State types will be all over this one...

Yeah, right...

A suggestion to Max Duncan. If you don’t want it, flush it!

Impressed by his public outrage and refusal. So, of course am wondering how many other Koran's were sent out to Governor's. . .(and other elected officials perhaps. . .) and received with a 'no comment'. . .

Incredible, obnoxious. . .coercive 'diversity'. . .and the damning political correctness that drives it.

Good! I’m glad he objected to the state’s involvement.

I bet this ridiculous idea was probably promoted by CAIR of one of the other foreign-funded Muslim conquest - er, outreach - groups established here in the US.

Oh, the wrath this man will face. I guess he didn’t get the memo that all things Islamic are A-0kay and all things Christian are “taboo.”

[ari-freedom]

soft and sweet

but tough on islamists

Earlier, lawmakers also received a copy of the Bible sponsored by The Baptist General Convention in Oklahoma. "Mine is proudly on my desk on the Capitol and I don't think I ever read a part of it that condones the killing of women and children in furtherance of God's word," Duncan said. "It's one of the nicest things I've received in my three years in the Legislature."

He is a true Ameerican!

I am suprised the MSM hasn’t had a meltdown yet. Very few articles out there...

[uptoolate]

I’d like to see him express his freedom of speech and publicly burn the book as a form of expressive art, to represent the way the body feels as the knife cuts the throat.

[Coldwater Creek]

What in the world does Duncan Hunter have to do with this article, other than the fact that his first name is the same as this guy’s last name?

[Coldwater Creek]

Get ready, the Muzzies are the new civil rights whores.

They will be coming to a town near you soon!

[ishabibble]

>>She told the Tulsa World newspaper that members of the Muslim community paid for the copies.<<

I would like to see a receipt for that. I don’t believe it for a minute.

[Dustbunny]

LOL..... nothing actually, just getting his name in my reply.

[Coldwater Creek]

I knew exactly what your point was, I just had to call you on it. LOL
