United State Ex president Obama was seen storming away from the
West Wing after staffers from Donald Trump’s transition team began
preparing the executive offices for the new administration. On Trump’s
orders, one of Obama’s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all
signs of it removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
For the past 8 years, to appease Muslims working at or visiting the
White House, silence has been ordered during the 5 times of Islamic
prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are
available in several areas of the executive mansion to make Muslims more
comfortable.
The administration has defended the practice by asserting that it also
observes several other religious moments of silence and prayer out of
respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity on Sunday morning
while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast.
None of the prayers is mandatory or led by a government official, which
has allowed the administration to subvert 1st Amendment issues, but the
obvious favouritism towards Islam, which is observed for 25 minutes per
day 7 days a week, tells a story this president has denied for 8 years.
President Trump, who acknowledges that this country was founded by
Christians and was built on Christian morals, is having all pagan
symbols removed from the property unless they offer some historical
significance. Only the cross in the White House chapel will remain for
worship. Jim Mergernerlerny, head of the team that will transform the
White House from the Obama’s home to the Trumps’ second home, told
MSNBC:
“Mr Trump doesn’t see the need to provide prayer rugs and false idols in
a house built by Christians. Washington, DC offers a diverse cultural
centre for the worship of any kind. You won’t find any special
considerations for Judaism or crucifixes to appease Catholics, either.
There is a simple chapel with a single cross on one wall that is
suitable for prayer by anyone. Our government doesn’t need to be forcing
prayer rituals down people’s throats just so we don’t “offend”
apologising people looking to blow us up.
Patriots around the U.S. can rest assured that apologising for our faith has come to an end.
