Black Muslim Lawmaker ‘Offended’ by Christian Prayer in Pennsylvania Legislature

March 28, 2019 By CFT Team -- 6 Comments

A first-year member of the Pennsylvania House on Monday offered a prayer laden with political and Christian imagery shortly before the swearing in of the chamber’s first Muslim woman:

Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, R-Clinton, said “Jesus” 13 times, “God” six times, and “Lord” four times, as Raging Chicken Press writer Sean Kitchen first noted on Twitter. She also expressed thanks to God that President Donald Trump “stands besides Israel” in a rambling, nearly two minute prayer.

“Jesus, you are our only hope,” Borowicz said during the prayer.

Borowicz delivered the prayer shortly before Movita Johnson-Harrell — the first Muslim woman elected to the General Assembly — was sworn in.

Johnson-Harrell said the prayer was “highly offensive to me, my guests, and other members of the House.”

“It blatantly represented the Islamophobia that exists among some leaders — leaders that are supposed to represent the people,” Johnson-Harrell said in a statement sent via text message. “I came to the Capitol to help build bipartisanship and collaborations regardless of race or religion to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the Commonwealth.”

Johnson-Harrell said she had 55 guests in attendance, 32 of whom are Muslim.

…Erik Love, a professor at Dickinson College in Carlisle, said the prayer reinforced the primacy of white Christianity in American public life and politics.

“The idea behind Islamophobia is that the U.S. or Pennsylvania is properly a white and Christian place,” Love said. “Christians are first-class citizens, and then Muslims are at best second-class citizens or are unwelcome.”

Given the context in which Borowicz’s benediction was delivered — on the day that the Legislature was to welcome its first Muslim woman representative — “it’s an attempt to reaffirm the idea that Pennsylvania is a Christian, white commonwealth and someone like Rep. Johnson is less welcome,” Love said.

…The regional leader of America’s largest Muslim civil rights group agreed.

“This was a mean-spirited, Islamophobic, anti-semitic, and xenophobic benediction which should have never been delivered in the statehouse,” said Jacob Bender, executive director of the Philadelphia chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Bender said that Borowicz relied on “triumphalist” tropes that implied the supremacy of Christianity over other religions.

By saying that Jesus is “our only hope” and by willing “every knee” to bow to a Christian god, Borowicz delivered a message that excluded not only Muslims but also Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, and Native Americans who follow indigenous traditions, Bender said.

Religious leaders and lawmakers can craft respectful, interfaith benedictions if they focus on universal principles shared by religious groups — ideas like caring for the poor and needy, Bender said.

It’s hard not to notice, if you have the eyes to see, that this article cites the “expert” opinion of a pro-immigration Jew, Jacob Bender, director regional CAIR chapter.  The jewish support of CAIR was cited by Robert Bowers, the shooter of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, as a factor that motivated him to act.  Do the Jews at CAIR remind those Third World immigrants whom they are helping settle here, that America is a historically White Christian country?  Need we ask?

Americans and Europeans are now expected to tolerate Muslim calls to prayer in our towns and cities, but we are also expected to curtail our own Christian prayers in public for fear of offending the Jews and Muslims.  We are to accommodate them, but they are not expected to accommodate us in any way, and that hypocrisy is at the heart of multiculturalism and diversity.  Everyone has the right not to be offended by Christians, but the rights of Christians take a backseat to the rights of everyone else, including atheists.

    Look, I am on your side, but it only complicates issues, and it is a serious Christian Zionist slap in the face to true Christians that she expressed,
    ‘…thanks to God that President Donald Trump “stands besides Israel” ‘.

    What has Israel got to do with Christianity? I will tell you; a big fat NOTHING. Israel hates Christians as much as Islam.

    This Black Muslim “lawmaker” is clearly American born, and she has spent her entire life exposed to Christianity and Christian prayers, but now that she’s got a little taste of political power, she’s all of a sudden offended by Christ. Sure, we believe you. We’ll never mention Christ again just so you won’t be offended. Satisfied? Hardly.

    And guess what? this ol sow with the hyphenated name offends ME!
    Lets see here…who has the right to be offended? This mudfaced foreigner that shouldnt be in the country, isnt a citizen regardless of what the current junta states and is in the ‘legislature’ illegally, or me, a white Christian citizen of this [once white and Christian] country whose ancestors have been here since 1742? And since when was being offended a crime?
    If we offend you so badly, go the #$%^ back where you belong!

    “I came to the Capitol to help build bipartisanship and collaborations regardless of race or religion to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the Commonwealth.”

    And yet she couldn’t help but get offended for racial and religious reasons from the very start. This is comical, at the very least.

    Wow. I can’t believe this jewish tactic continues to work. If only those who call themselves ‘Christians’ actually stood up for Christ, none of this bullshit would be tolerated. But it is our LUKEWARMTH that is EXACTLY the cause of this in the first place. Again, only a Christian revival among our people can save us from what is happening. We cannot walk hand in hand with God and satan – that’s compromise. Funny thing is, that is exactly what POLITICS is…compromise. That’s exactly why there is no political solution, and why there is NO FREEDOM but through Christ!

    Not to digress, but if any Christian acted as a true Christian should, they would totally recognize and understand that the ‘claim’ of the God of the Bible to be THE ONE TRUE GOD is indeed genuine, and that ALL other ‘religions’ are false and pagan, so we would have NO BUSINESS COMPROMISING with ANY non-Christians…exactly as we are instructed! “Come out of her (the world), my people, and be ye separate!” We, the white Christian race, are a HOLY people. HOLY means “separated unto God”…
