American Republicans are generally deeply ignorant of the world, which unfortunately leaks over onto the vast majority of Americans. Believe me, I have lived there and learned. Self-centeredness makes people so arrogant and full of themselves, that they have no place left in their skulls for knowledge other than the self-ingratiating false myths about their own pathetic history and place in the world.
For example, having emigrated as illiterate inbred peasants from the boonies of Europe, white Americans for the most part believe they have literally invented the bible, although chronologically they are the last ones to have learned how to read, and therefore to pretend to have become Christians. Their version of christianity is laced with the idiocies and fallacies of the Old Testament which most modern Christians view as a parchment of garbage written by smelly old nomads in the desert of Arabia during the Bronze Age, and whose sole purpose is to magnify and self-aggrandize themselves as the people whom Yahweh chose as his favorite pet people.
Hence, Americans have inherited this narcissistic tendency from reading too much the said garbage of the Old Testament, and indeed have adopted it as their very own. Americans believe in their "manifest destiny", having reached the new "promised land", and like their Zionist cultural progenitors, they proceeded to massacre the natives (Americans on Indigneous Indians, and Zionists on indigenous Palestinians) and declared themselves a republic only for White European Christians (US) or only for White European Jews (USrael).
The lobotomy that the Old Testament has butchered on the brains of these illiterate European peasants caused some of them to invent new religions. Any idiot can open a church in America and declare him/herself as a prophet. The most salient of these "churches" is the Moron Church of Latter Day Saints. These cretins have written their own copy-paste supplement to the Old Testament - all decorated with Thee and Thou - a new chapter of hallucinating bullshit about wandering the wilderness and reaching the promised land of the desolate state of Utah: The Book of Morons.
I always digress (because all this stuff is connected), but below is one Illinois GOP racist nitwit who stunted her developing brain by spending her childhood reciting the friggin' Pledge of Allegiance every morning and learning about nothing else but the magnificence of 100 years of American solitude since the founding of the White Christian republic over the ashes and bones of millions of millennial indigenous nations. Madness goes faster into the brains of illiterate idiots than into the brains of educated people. Which is why someone once said, "not all conservatives are stupid, but all stupid people are conservatives". Now you know why 77 million stupid Americans voted for Donald Dumb.
She's not only ignorant, but this dumb blonde is also a religious racist. Now I concede that religious racism is an oxymoron because the moment you create your own religion, you become a racist with respect to other religions. I often wish that God-Yahweh-Dieu-Hananim-Gott-Allah-Modimo
Dios-Astvats-....- who I believe is no more than a made-up Santa Claus for adults - would publishe an annual compendium of human religions in which he rates them for veracity, sanity, stupidity, usefulness, etc... and also on a scale of his most favorite to his most disgusting.
Full of the American crap (liberty, justice, etc.) - all of it has now been proven a fallacy by the elected and erected Great Moron-in-Chief and White Christian dictator residing in the White Outhouse - this Illinois nitwit confuses Sikh for Muslim, then hurls her obtuse racism like many in the US did after 9-11 when Indians, Sikhs, Indonesians.... were all confused by Americans for Arab Muslims and were attacked in reprisals. For a melting pot, this America sounds more like an overly cooked pebble soup where nothing has changed since the time of the colonial racist English crooks. But while the English have since slightly evolved since, their bastard American children have not and their evolution from lower primates screeched to a halt the moment they brought their stupid bible with them to the land.
Bottom line: I am more vexated by her ignorance than by her racism. It doesn't matter which religious numskull says the prayer... they're all of the same putrid Bronze Age cloth (no pun intended).

Illinois Republican mistakes Sikh for Muslim, calls him delivering prayer in House ‘deeply troubling’
Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) said it was “deeply disturbing” that a Sikh delivered a prayer in the House chamber on Friday — after apparently mistaking him for a Muslim man.
The since-deleted post Friday morning sparked immediate bipartisan criticism.
“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should never have been allowed to happen,” Miller said on the social platform X. “America was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth, not drift further from it. May God have mercy!”
She attached a photo of the guest chaplain, who was wearing a yellow turban, leading the customary prayer that occurs every day at the opening of the House floor.
But the guest chaplain was not a Muslim, but a Sikh: Giani Surinder Singh, of Gurdwara South Jersey Sikh Society in Vineland, N.J. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who opened the floor, introduced the guest chaplain.
Miller later edited her post on X to replace “Muslim” with “Sikh” before deleting the post altogether. Her office did not respond to a request for comment about the incident.
The House has long welcomed guest chaplains from many types of faiths — including Muslims, with a Muslim guest chaplain notably reading from the Quran in November 2001 following the 9/11 terror attacks.
Members of Congress regularly invite guest chaplains to deliver prayers.
Miller’s post sparked bipartisan condemnation.
Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) said on X he was “troubled” by the post. “Throughout the country—and in the Central Valley— Sikh-Americans are valued and respected members of our communities, yet they continue to face harassment and discrimination.”
“While yes, we are a nation rooted in Judeo-Christian values and our laws reflect that, we are also a nation that recognizes we are all God’s children and whatever our differences, we can and should respect differences of faith,” added Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) in another post commenting on Miller’s post.
Democrats, meanwhile, went much further in their criticism.
“Our country was founded on the Constitution – which happens to care enough about freedom of religion that it’s in the very first amendment,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said in a post responding to Miller. “Not only is this racist, it dishonors the ‘founding document’ you referenced.”
Singh, during his prayer, had called for peace.
“Almighty God …. we call you by many names, sir. But you are one. Keep your divine hand over the members of this House. … Keep truth on our tongues, sir, love in our hearts, and sound judgment in our minds. Remind us, sir, of our purpose: To love and serve one another and create a more peaceful world. We ask you for blessings unto all leaders, sir, and their work for the common good. Give all who govern this land humility and courage, integrity and compassion,” Singh said. “Help us remember that we belong to one family.”
“We ask for the almighty also to keep watch over our nation’s protectors who work tirelessly day and night to ensure our safety and our freedom,” Singh added.
Howard Mortman, author of the book “When Rabbis bless Congress” documenting the history of Rabbis offering such prayers, explained that diverse faith leaders have long prayed before Congress.
“Historically, inviting guest chaplains to open House and Senate sessions in prayer allows Congress to showcase the diversity of religions in America. It shows that we live in a multi-faith society — with no established state religion. Many different religions have been represented by clergymembers praying in Congress. Hundreds of rabbis, for instance — going back to 1860.”
