I hope you forgive me for being a day early and a dollar short.

Khizr Khan is like the energizer Bunny. His 15 minutes just keep going on and on and...
Can we give the Khans the Congressional Medal of Honor? His parents are finishing his mission with class, grace, and courage under fire.

I'm doing my share. I'm a signatory and sponsor of this ad. Don't know when it appears. Last I heard, there were 63 signers. I'd leave in the names, but I've got a stalker here, so I can't do that. I need to protect the innocent, as well as myself, from his depravity.

Statement and Signers:

Statement in Support of Muslims' Right to Religious Freedom

As members of the local Jewish community, we are alarmed by the rise of anti-Muslim prejudice and bigotry in the United States during the current Presidential election season. This intolerance has included anti-Muslim talk, hostile attitudes and unprovoked violence.

· We condemn hate-filled speech. We will stand up against bigoted or prejudiced threats or violence aimed at Muslim adults or children.

· We believe that Muslims have First Amendment Constitutional rights to practice their religion without harassment. Everyone has a right to raise a family, work, worship, get an education and enjoy life without fear of attack and violence.

· Muslims, who have themselves been the subjects of terrorist attacks throughout the world, deserve the protections of law and support from all people in our religiously pluralistic society.

· Restrictions or limitations placed on any group based on race, religion or ethnic origin, threaten the rights of all of us. We will not stand by in silence, passively condoning bigotry.

· We interpret and honor Jewish traditions that teach tolerance, peaceful co-existence, and the responsibility to welcome the newcomer, while recognizing that Islam has been practiced in the United States for hundreds of years.

· We urge others to learn about Islam, so as not to be easy prey for misinformation or lies about the teachings in the Koran.

We call on everyone who believes in religious liberty to stand with us in solidarity with our Muslim neighbors.
