Abstract:

The political views of Republican Representative Sue Myrick of Charlotte are explored. Myrick has made comments that were offensive to many Muslims about their religion. Also examined is her advisory board membership on The National Council on bible Curriculum in Public Schools. Her support of an organization that is seen as a religious extremist group, but her offensive remarks about religious extremism suggest a double standard held by Myrick between Islam and Christianity.
