Oklahoma Muslims ask to meet with Inhofe
http://www.tulsaworld.com/site/printerfriendlystory.aspx?articleid=20100122_12_0_WASHIN71523">Oklahoma Muslims ask to meet with Inhofe

Oklahoma members of a Muslim civil liberties group asked for a meeting Friday with U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe concerning the Oklahoma Republican's comments on terrorists being Muslim or Middle Eastern.

Inhofe also expressed support for ethnic and racial profiling.

"It is disturbing to hear a member of the United States Senate suggest that entire religious and ethnic groups should automatically be considered terror suspects,'' said Razi Hashmi, executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"Our nation's leaders have a duty not to exacerbate the growing anti-Muslim sentiment in American society.''

I applaud their efforts but really, he's not gonna budge. He's proud to be the town idiot.

And yes, the comments reflect just how bad it is here.

3. Yes, Inhofe will be his signature asshole self, IF he actually meets with them.

Oklahomans Mortally Ashamed of Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn

10. Oh, that's great, earthboundmisfit!
Keep your distance from my nutty relatives in Enid, OK, please - I fear that their insanity is contagious.

6. Maybe Inhofe could sponsor one of those "whites only" basketball teams that are
starting up in Georgia.

8. Inhofe is right.
In fact, now that I think about, he reminds me of Timothy McVeigh. White, southern, ignorant. Inhofe could have evil intentions, so I suggest that we strap his flabby ass to a waterboard, then wire his nuts to the business end of a car battery. You know, just in case he knows something he's not telling.

9. Inhofe thinks terrorists can be Muslim or Middle Eastern? Why that's ludicrous.
