Dowd hits this one out of the park

Why did Powell not only endorse Obama but protest against anti-Islamic bigotry? MoJo Dowd discusses a special tombstone of a dead Iraq war veteran

Dowd notes the headstone had not only the soldier’s awards, but a crescent and a star to denote his Islamic faith.

“I stared at it for an hour,” (Powell) told me. “Who could debate that this kid lying in Arlington with Christian and Jewish and nondenominational buddies was not a fine American?”

Who, indeed?

Well, yes, it’s an election, but Obama still can’t, or won’t, come out and say something like:

“Rumors to the contrary, I’m a Christian and have been for decades. That said, there’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim and I hope more and more of our country comes to that realization.”

At least, can he say that Nov. 5?
