Yesterday, on Sunday, September 19, 2010, the Obama family attended church for only the third time in a year. They went on foot to the St. John’s Episcopal Church situated across the Lafayette Park.
But what is widely not reported by the White House and the MSM is that on that particular Sunday in that particular church, Dr. Ziad Asali, M.D., a Muslim, founder and president of the American Task Force on Palestine, was the guest speaker. He was there to speak on the subject of “Prospects of the two-state solution in the Middle-East.”
According to the website of the American Task Force on Palestine, it is a “non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington, DC.” The organization describes itself as “dedicated to advocating that it is in the American national interest to promote an end to the conflict in the Middle East through a negotiated agreement that provides for two states – Israel and Palestine – living side by side in peace and security.”
Dr. Ziad J. Asali is described as “a long-time activist on Middle East issues” who has testified to both chambers of Congress about Palestinian interests, increased U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority, and “Israel’s disproportionate use of force” in Gaza. A retired physician, Asali received his early medical training at the American University of Beirut. He previously served as President of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) and Chairman of the American Committee on Jerusalem (ACJ), which he also co-founded He also served as the President of the Arab-American University Graduates (AAUG).

A used rubber has more integrity than Obama!
Always the lies. Most despicable potus ever.
This is worth passing around.
Obama finally shows up at a Christian church... that just happens to have a Muslim guest speaker that week.
No BC on the forehead. But I think I can see the numbers 666...
The media was and still is responsible for why this guy is in office.
I wonder if the congregation faced Mecca during the Nicene Creed.
There is no truth in him.
Asali is a long-time activist on Middle East issues. He has been a member of the Chairman’s Council of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) since 1982
Thanks for the post. Perhaps those with large ping lists may want to circulate this one around so that it does not get lost in the traffic.
Is this a church or a lecture hall? How does a political speaker of a different religion fit into the Episcopalian service? Is this common?
Most likely--if the church were built in traditional form the congregation faces east--but that is to be facing Jerusalem.
Happens to be the same direction as Mecca from most of the U.S.
Good grief. Drudge headlined the story that Obama went to church—for maybe the third time in two years. I’m passing this one along to Drudge in hopes that he’ll break the media blockade on it.
This is the most disgusting subversive pofs ever to hold office.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Asali is founder and chairman of the American Charities for Palestine (ACP).
