Alabama State Rep. James Buskey (D) on Thursday got a little confused about Islam, referring to it as “Muslimism.”

The Democrat made the remark during debate on a bill that would let public schools and state buildings display the Ten Commandments, according to the Birmingham News.

The Alabama House passed the bill to allow Ten Commandments displays on Thursday, which also has to be approved by voters.
