Fred Lundgren founder of KCAA radio received a letter from Congressman Ellison about some of Trumps antics.

Quote:

Dear Fred, I’m a Muslim. That’s why I’m asking you to take a stand. Demand Trump apologize to the Khans today. I’m an American. I’m a Member of Congress and I am livid after seeing Donald Trump’s attack on the Gold Star Khan family. How can he question a mother’s pain after her son is killed in combat? How can he imply her religion — not her grief — kept her from speaking to millions of Americans on national TV?

Fred replied back in part;

Quote:

However, since you put the issue before me, I have a question for you and other practicing Muslims. In your private life, do you elevate adherence to any aspect of your religious law (Sharia law) above any aspect of the American Constitution or constitutionally protected laws? ....

That part made me think of American Christians who put their religion above the laws of the USA. Kim Davis was the first to come to mind.

Fred finishes with;

Quote:

This question is very simple. Can practicing Muslims who adhere to Sharia Law also be patriotic American citizen? For many non-Muslims, this question remains unanswered.

I suppose Fred doesn't know irony when it should appear between the lines he writes.
