  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It remains unclear whether President Donald Trump intends to nominate Patel for the permanent ATF director position, or what the administration’s longer-term plans are for the agency, the AP reported.

Patel, 44, is the first Hindu- and Indian-American to lead two of the nation’s high-profile agencies within the U.S. Department of Justice. He was sworn in Friday as head of the FBI in a ceremony in which he chose to use the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu sacred book, instead of the traditional Holy Bible.
