U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Wednesday that many Oklahomans believe the Obama administration is suppressing “Judeo-Christian values” while promoting Islam.
“Oklahomans regularly ask me -- and I don’t really think this is unique just to Oklahoma, I think it can be in almost any state -- but how they regularly ask me why we have an administration that suppresses our Judeo-Christian values while praising Islam,” Inhofe said during a Senate speech marking the 225th anniversary of George Washington’s first inaugural speech.
“The secular culture we see our nation embracing today would censure such words as Washington’s,” said Inhofe. “Their intolerance fails to acknowledge Washington’s convictions and our founding fathers’ faith.
“Today, instead of having leaders that protect the church from government, we have leaders that believe it is government’s job to impose on churches what should be universally upheld as truth.”
