Excerpt:
Rep. Walter Jones, a Republican from coastal North Carolina, is furious because a local community college is using a federal grant to purchase books on Islam and Muslim culture.
The 25 books are coming to Craven Community College in New Bern as part of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant. A DVD or two will be purchased as well.
Jones' objection, first picked up by the liberal website Think Progress, is on two fronts: First, the grant is simply a waste of money. Second, it is biased against Christianity.
