Good news from Dr. Rice

We recently elected the first Muslim Congressperson, Keith Ellison. (If you follow political theatrics, he's the one who was asked by Glen Beck to "prove to me you are not working with our enemies." Also, he's the one who was sworn in on Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Koran. )The good news is, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has recruited him to help improve our international image among Muslims. I wonder if he's Sunni or Shia, or if that's a totally ridiculous question. (I know close to zero about Islam.)

Anyway, freedom of religion is a good thing. It has advantages. Using them is a no-brainer. Props to both for being bipartisan and doing what's best for the US.
