Is it fair for Republicans to go after Keith Ellison for being a Muslim?

9. I don't think anyone's religion is the business of the American people...

Of course, that all changes when they use their religion to attempt to shape policy. Then that person's religion is up for grabs so to speak.

It's entirely possible to govern without having to drag your religion out at the drop of a hat. We've seen plenty of religious people who do just fine without wearing their religion on their sleeve.

Of course, there are quite a few (repubs for the most part) who are unable to speak unless they invoke their religion. When it begins to affect someone who does not subscribe to the same religion or even the same views in a negative way, that is when we must speak up. Otherwise, we run a risk of losing valuable freedoms if we don't fight this.

on edit: I am saying no because I haven't seen Congressman Ellison using his religion in an attempt to shape policy.
