Plan for Muslim prayer in Senate angers some
Houston Chronicle

The first prayer ever by a Muslim cleric in the Texas Senate was schedule for this morning — outraging some conservatives because it is occurring just before Easter.

I read this story just to see if Chisum was involved. Sadly, he wasn’t.

But I’ll keep my eye on this one:

Harris County Republican Chairman Jared Woodfill said the timing of the Muslim prayer outraged him.

“I’m shocked that the day before the Easter recess that a Muslim is leading the prayer,” Woodfill said. “They should be having a celebration about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

What? Having “In God We Trust” over the dais isn’t enough for you? What do you want? A parade of crucifixes through the chamber while the floor and gallery, all clad in white, sing hymns?
