CAIR-FL: HARRIS’ COMMENTS DRAW FIERCE REACTION
U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris said this week that God did not intend for the United States to be a “nation of secular laws” and that a failure to elect Christians to political office will allow lawmaking bodies to “legislate sin.”
The remarks, published in the weekly journal of the Florida Baptist State Convention, unleashed a torrent of criticism from political and religious officials. . .
Ahmed Bedier, the Central Florida director of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said he was “appalled that a person who’s been in politics this long would hold such extreme views.”
Bedier said most Christians would find such comments “shameful.”
