DNC Invites Radical Islamic Speaker to 'Interfaith' Gathering

DENVER, August 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Kicking off their week of inclusion at the Democratic National Convention, the party will host its first-ever "interfaith gathering" on Sunday afternoon at the Colorado Convention Center. However, among its featured speakers will be Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The ISNA is suspected of having ties to radical terrorism organizations worldwide. In fact, the ISNA is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case. ISNA is also supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical organization that calls on Muslim organizations in America to dedicate themselves to "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions."

"National security is supposed to be a major theme for the Democratic National Convention-especially with Joe Biden now Obama's running mate," explained Tom Trento, director of the Watch Obsession Citizen Education Program. "Inviting a speaker with documented ties to extremist terrorists makes a complete mockery of this emphasis on national security."

"Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and the Democratic Party should not allow an individual who sympathizes with murderous terrorists to speak at a peaceful interfaith gathering," continued Trento. "It's shocking that leaders such as Colorado Governor Bill Ritter are willing to share the stage with someone who at best tolerates extremists who want to destroy his constituents."

I wonder how much trouble they're having finding some Christian speaker with ties to radical terrorism organizations to try and balance things out a bit.

Democrats open faith-filled convention with prayer

At the first official event Sunday of the Democratic National Convention, a choir belted out a gospel song and was followed by a rabbi reciting a Torah reading about forgiveness and the future.

Helen Prejean, the Catholic nun who wrote “Dead Man Walking,” assailed the death penalty and the use of torture.

Young Muslim women in headscarves sat near older African-American women in their finest Sunday hats.

Susan Sarandon is smiling.

I believe the democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality. John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the democratic convention for having an affair and lying about it.

Bill Clinton will speak in his place.

This is all quite horrifying. Obama, and his far-left radical, anti-American supporters, are very much Islamic and terrorist supporters. e.g. Obama Muslim background, his anti-American background, his TERRORIST associations and support for same....

What are we watching unfold here? An attempt to turn the United States of America into another “Middle East country” like Britain or France??? I think so.

Barack Hussein Obama...let’s take a flyer and assert that he could be sympathetic to Muslim causes.

My question is this:

When the latte-sipping Liberal in Berkeley is about to recycle his cup after polishing off his vegan muffin, will he hide his Obama/Biden campaign pin when the dirty bomb hits?

Yes, yes, yes... nObama has no ties to Islam.

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Short answer: yes

The Liberals are the only group who would gladly hand a homocidal maniac the knife and then blame racism as the culprit for their jugular being sliced.

"It's shocking that leaders such as Colorado Governor Bill Ritter are willing to share the stage with someone who at best tolerates extremists who want to destroy his constituents."

Shocking?!? Yes, I’m shocked that our democrat ‘leaders’ embrace the enemy with such comfort & ease…Not! The guy must be blind in one eye and can’t see out the other.

About the worst example of a Christian leader with any following is that Phelps person from the Midwest who shows up at soldiers’ funerals to say that they died because America supports homosexuality or some such inane and vapid tripe. That is about it. Oh wait—Ian Paisley from Northern Ireland who is about as Christian as khalid muhammet :’< ,(notice the spelling, lower case and the emoticon, which is actually a fairly decent PORTRAIT of the prophet muhammet). I am writing my point. As a Christian I recognize that I cold be a better one right now; but, I am not going to go blow someone up or call for their death because someone misspells a word from a sacred text, draws a picture (emoticon) of a drug addled and pedophilic ‘prophet,’ or tries to convert me. Even a dirt bag like Paisley would not go that far. Well, he would want someone blown up, but only if they were Catholic. Therefore, I nominate Ian Paisley as a radical moron on par with mooslem terrorists.

In addition to this Muslim woman, who is scheduled to speak at the inter-faith meeting, James Yee, the Muslim Chaplain, who was accused of having illegal contact (carrying messages, I think) with the inmates at Guantanamo Bay, will be in attendance, as a delegate for Obama.

Charges were eventually dismissed against Yee, but I never believed that he was innocent.

Obama was supposed to receive his gold plated “Monkey god” on the day before the convention. Which god was he praying to?

[tessalu]

Now that is really funny. Bill Clinton is speaking in place of John Edwards, for John it too big of a liar.

Let's also note that the American flag is upside down on the DNC Convention tickets.
