Religion is to Politics as Steak is to Vanilla Icing

Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode is in hot water for a letter sent to his constituents where he states:

"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. 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."

Naturally, some people are upset and want him to apologize and he refuses. Blah, Blah, Blah, the usual. Here's what I want to know, use the Quran for what? Are people in Congress using a different "Book about Religion" for something that I don't know about? Because they aren't supposed to be. It is a little funny to me that nobody thought about this before (well, besides our Forefathers). If you open the door for mixing politics with religion, you open the door to mixing politics with ALL religions, even the one's you don't care for Mr. Goode. Separation of Church and State PROTECTS Religion and Government, and maybe it would serve us well to remember that today's majority could be tomorrow's minority, faster than you can say 2006 Midterm Elections.
