By Stephen Prothero, Special to CNN In a commentary on the shrill Republican silence in the face of the "Obama is a Muslim" nonsense, Slate’s John Dickerson wrote that "with so much traffic on the low road in American politics, you'd imagine a politician or two might take the high road simply to beat the congestion."

Well, New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to take the road less traveled. And he observed that “there are people of every faith–including, perhaps, some in this room–who are hoping that a compromise will end the debate.” “But it won’t,” he said.

> wonder what islam has on Bloomie

I must shout this out:

Bloomberg is the one person trying to expand Islamic Financing here and in the world.

Please post articles informing people of this fact - Bloomberg is a sellout to Arab financial interests! Sharia Fiance is what Bloomberg's company is promoting in Dubai and elsewhere. Please pass the word.
