Sending anyone is a concession too far

Sending anyone to the IOC sends the wrong message. It legitimizes the OIC and its religio-political power over the international community. The OIC uses religious means to achieve economic and political ends. No other religious organization wields such wide ranging influence and power over non-adherents. Sending anyone at all is an unacceptable concession and yet further insight, were any needed, into this administration's lack of commitment to constitutional values and principles.
