DOVER — A reading of a Muslim prayer on the state Senate floor sparked outrage from some members of the Republican caucus and led to a spat involving several lawmakers Wednesday.
The Senate begins every day with a prayer and on Wednesday Tarik Ewis from Tarbiyah Mosque read a portion of the Quran, first in Arabic and then in English.
Sens. Colin Bonini and Dave Lawson walked out during the prayer, and upon return, Sen. Lawson blasted the reading.
“We heard from the Quran that advocates for our very demise and that’s brought into this chamber as a prayer to open this session. I take great exception to that,” he said.
“I fought for this country not to be damned by someone that comes in here and prays to their god for our demise. I think that’s despicable.”

I think liberal Democrats along with illegal aliens need to be deported. Liberals have lost their minds and common sense, they need to stop destroying our country.
ReplyDeleteDitto!
DeleteGreat job by both Bonini and Lawson, muslim prayer doesnt belong in our government, or yhe USA!
ReplyDeleteGOOD MAN.
ReplyDeleteNeed more objections like this. Our Military personnel did not fight and die for this disrespect of our Constitution. Our Country was founded on Christian faith. Not a cult that wants to kill us.
ReplyDeleteSend Biden to Pennsylvania!
ReplyDeleteIslam is not just a religion, but a government and a way of life that is in direct conflict with our Constitution. The First Amendment does nothing to address this or allow this.
ReplyDeleteSTOP this NOW!!! Should NOT be allowed in any of our institutions under any circumstances.
ReplyDeleteIslam and Muslims will NEVER assimilate into our culture! Do you understand that their goal is the Caliphate and Sharia Law??? If you don't get this, you better learn quickly.
Do you really believe if you were in a Muslim country you would be able to pray a Christian prayer??? Hello NO!!! Wake up people. ENOUGH!!!
Thank God for Republicans with a spine.
ReplyDeleteBeing a native of Delaware I am truly disgusted with the direction that the Blue Hen state has taken over the last 30 years or so. It has abandoned its conservative roots and is nearing its neighboring state of MD. The bottom of the barrel.
ReplyDeleteWhere have the Pete DuPonts of Delaware gone?
8:59 PM no thank you, we don't need anymore of the shore's trash.
ReplyDeleteThank you for standing ground by walking out. Quran has no place there and the reading should have not happen.
ReplyDeleteI think Bonini and Lawson and anyone else who would join them should hold a public quran burning,I bet thousands of people would attend.
ReplyDeleteBurn it.
ReplyDeleteIt is TREASON for any politician to support any other law esp Islam and Sharia Hang them.
ReplyDeleteThis is only exposing facts and truth.
ReplyDeleteReligion has no business in a public platform. Government needs to remain secular, this is exactly why?
Do me a favor, if you think that only Christians are allowed to do what they want.... stop calling yourself and American, and start identifying as a theocratic religious extremist.
America, is a nation founded on liberty and freedom. Religion is one of those freedoms. Don't support other religions or religious ideas? That's O.K. Join the sane people and start supporting a secular government that protects religious liberty. Now THAT'S and American ideal.
Great Job!! Run for Governor!
