While Christians continue to see their freedom of expression limited (if not completely erased) by extreme leftists in the legal and political realms, taxpayers are funding an extensive Islamic outreach program coordinated by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Disregarding the fact that America is trillions of dollars in the hole, the left has long decried almost any outward embrace of Christianity, ostensibly because it indicates a tacit endorsement of the faith.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, that stance did not stop the NEH from moving forward with a program called “Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys,” through which 842 libraries in all 50 states will receive a variety of Islamic-centered material.
All the institutions involved must also set aside time for community discussion of the faith and culture of Islam.
Republican Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina spoke out against the program, saying it is “wasting taxpayer money.”
While unnecessarily spending tax revenue on such a project is upsetting enough, one should not be shocked at government’s misuse of our money.
Jones explores the deeper, more disturbing reason this program should not exist.
He said the interest of fairness – on which leftists seem to feel they have an ideological monopoly – is not served by the NEH effort and suggested adding books that display “America’s rich Judeo-Christian heritage.”
Twenty-five such books were offered to a college library in Jones’ district, though the facility has not yet confirmed it will add them to its shelves.
“I want to treat [the subject] fairly,” Jones said, “and I think too many times the Christian faith is not treated fairly.”
The head of a local Christian Coalition chapter in the area was another vocal critic of the program.
Jerry Schill cited “the government’s role in keeping God out of the public square and the obstacles that Christians face when it comes to prayer and the ability to publicly proclaim our faith,” noting this Islamic outreach program “seems more than odd.”
I’m sure his sentiments will receive significant support among not only Christian conservatives but rational Americans of any ideological stripe.

Obamanomics, “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine!” He is like the old “Well, I’m a girl rule” except it’s now the, “Well, I’m a muslim” rule, meaning that he plays by a different set of rules than you guys do and that’s fair isn’t it? It isn’t? Then why isn’t it?
Islam must be eradicated in America, it cannot co-exist in a democracy!
Congress you control the money so shut down this program. We can`t pray but our government can build mosque for terriorist
Does our governemnt do anything that is not corrupt any more.
I guess they slide this one under the rug. It can not be a separation of “church” and state when Muslims go to a Mosque. Folks WAKE UP! we have been taken over by the enemy. Remember by faith of their own religion they must hate Jews. The rhetoric from the Muslim brotherhood would make Hitler blush! IT MUST BE STOPPED!! how can any intelligent American not see what is flying down the freeway to smash us all to hell?
again WAKE UP!
I can accept that many would reject Christianity but to embrace a false religion that is as godless as anything could possible be is far beyond insanity. And to force our tax payers to support the false religion of Islam, which embraces hate and teaches that you must enslave or slaughter others that will not bow down to their false god is nothing less than insanity.
If or when true Americans rise up to say they will not take this any more you will see millions of Muslims taking up arms. Weapons most likely stored in mosques all across America and this will be Pres. Obama civilian force that he talks about and sharia law will be laid upon us and they will bring out the guillotines.
WAKE-UP AMERICA…. All Christians, all prostitutes, all gays, all Buddhist, all Hindus, all who do no accept the false religion of Islam will be beheaded.
