Virginia Congressman Speaks Out Against Muslims

(AP) Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode is speaking out again about Muslims.

The
Republican says a nonbinding measure opposing President Bush's plan to
boost troop strength in Iraq would, "comfort and encourage the radical
Muslims who want to destroy our country."

Goode told his
colleagues that Islamic jihadists would want U.S. currency to say "in
Muhammad we trust," with an Islamic flag flying over the White House
and U.S. Capitol.

Goode angered Muslims in December when he
questioned Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison's decision to be sworn
in on the Quran instead of the Bible and warned that more Muslims would
be elected to office unless immigration was limited.

Ellison was born in Detroit and converted to Islam in college.
