I haven’t been following developments in that particular controversy, but Rod Dreher has:
Though I agree with Rep. Virgil Goode that it’s a smart idea to sharply reduce immigration from Islamic countries, at least at the present difficult time, I find appalling his behavior toward Muslim convert Keith Ellison’s intention to use the Koran at his swearing-in in Congress. Ellison, who’s right in this matter, has responded like a real gentleman in all this, much to his credit, and to his opponent’s embarrassment.
Rod is no soft touch on the subject of Islamic extremism, of course, so his words carry extra weight.
