World Peace Through Prager Bashing

Could we get this story picked up and circulated in the Muslim world? The United States elects its first Muslim congressman, and when a pundit suggests he ought not to be able to swear an oath of office on the Quran, there’s a near-unanimous condemnation of the idea, including calls by many prominent Jews to boot him from his position on the Holocaust Memorial Council. Seems like a good advertisement for pluralist values and Americans’ commitment to them.
