Toi correspondent from Washington: A racist Republican MP is known for making inflammatory statements after incorrectly explaining a Sikh religious leader as a Muslim and announced that he should never be allowed to offer morning prayers in the Congress in the country that he claimed that he claimed that “was established as a Christian nation.,“It is deeply upset that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayers in the House of Representatives this morning. It should never be allowed to be. America was established as a Christian nation, and I believe that our government should reflect that truth, not flow ahead …” Illinois’ legalist Mary Miller said on an abusive position as she corrected the religious identity.The comment embarrassed the Republican Party beyond its racist Maga base, especially since it was a GOP Congressman, who invited New Jersey Granthi Jiyani Singh to pray. “I was proud to invite a Sikh Chaplin to open a house with prayer this morning. The Sikh community is peaceful, generous and depth in the family and service, values should appreciate all of us, no matter whether our religion is,” New Jersey Congress Jeff Van Drew said, “As a Catholic, I also believe.”Miller was also cast by the Democratic Party, which is a more representative of the changing demographics of America.House minority leader Hakim Jeffrees said on X, “It is deeply upset that such an ignorant and disgusting extremist is serving in the United States Congress.”On both sides of the corridor and public intellectuals, MPs also told Miller to incorrectly claim that the US was established as a Christian nation, another recent story promoted by racist Maga Hardliners. America was not clearly established as a Christian nation, and the first amendment to the Constitution protects the freedom of religion.In fact, the first Sikh came to America around 1900, which was long before the eternal extremists. The early Sikh settled on the Pacific coast, and many of his descendants are now rich in California and are politically influential farmer and business owners, a fact recognized by local MPs.California’s Congressman David Valado, a Republican, wrote on X, “I am upset with my colleague’s comment about this morning’s Sikh prayer, which has been removed since then.” “In the whole country-and in Central Valley-Sikh-Americans are valuable and respected members of our communities, yet they face harassment and discrimination.According to Sikh advocacy groups, there are over 500,000 Sikhs in the US, although the 2020 US census identified only 70,697 respondents as Sikhs. Many of them are in the Central Valley of California, where some cities have Sikh mayor and Punjabi is commonly spoken. The GOP also has at least two major Sikhs in the positions of leadership: for the former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and the former Civil Advisor and American Assistant Attorney General Civil Rights Division of the former campaign of the Trump campaign. Dhilan actually distributed Closing Invocation (Antim Ardas) to the Republican National Convention last year, trigger a backlash from the Maga fundamentalists, one of which posted it on X: “Absolutely unacceptable !! I have nothing to honor for the Harmet, but who has been invited to pray to a foreign god, but who has been invited to pray to a foreign god, Is Christ.,
