H6058 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE September 14, 2012 

told that actually, under our religion, 

we believe that if we die while attacking infidels, which we consider you to 

be, we go straight to paradise. 

Jefferson and others were shocked. 

This doesn’t mesh with most world religions. What religion would think it 

okay where actually you would get to 

paradise by killing innocent people? 

Thank God that the vast majority of 

Muslims don’t believe that. But it is 

pure folly to ignore those that do. 

We owe those who serve the United 

States of America better than this. 

And to those who would say this is a 

political season, we should not be talking about anything but jobs, I would 

say before this economy can thrive, we 

have got to fulfill our oath to provide 

for the common defense because an 

economy won’t last much longer if we 

don’t protect those who are Americans 

here and abroad. 

I pray for the wisdom of President 

Obama, for the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for those who are serving 

abroad these United States of America, 

and for our leaders in Congress, that 

though we are so close to an election, 

what will matter more is the fulfillment of our oath and the protection, as 

best we can, of those who are trying to 

protect us. 

With that, I yield back the balance of 

my time.
