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).

Episcopalians left Christ as being “too rigid” or perhaps, “too exclusive” long, long ago. They are little more than an extension of the Unitarian Universalist Church.
Even worse, in the "real" world, much of their discussion was about how those nasty white Tea Party people think Obama is a Muslim and golly, gee, lookie here dumbfolks, he's going to church with his nice, American middle class family and they're not even riding in a vehicle but "hoofing it"! (as if that was some magnificent and wonderful thing)
I've had it with The Emperor's Networks!
Please somebody send this to Beck, Hannity, Rush, etc.
“How does a political speaker of a different religion fit into the Episcopalian service? Is this common?”
Well, there was one case where an Episcopalian priest converted to Islam, but wanted to keep her orders. She said she converted after hearing some Imam at an “interfaith dialogue”. Not sure if it was sponsored by her church, but I’d bet it was. They did defrock her when she refused to renounce Islam though.

Hey, this can’t be true, I saw it on NBC and they did not say anything about that.
Obama went to church to hear a Muslim speaker......
I wholeheartely agree.
“There is always a deception with this guy.”
Yeah, but he keeps getting caught, the guy is not very good at Taqiyya. I have a feeling only thing keeping him from being dragged out of the WH by a mob right now is that he’s managed to keep most of his vital records a state secret so far.
He continues to damage his own party though, so maybe someone who has access to those records will get fed up with him and decide to drop a dime on him soon.
I have never heard of the ‘Post & Email’. Is it legit?
I don’t believe this is true. I cannot find any other source that reported this information.
Thanks for posting this.
When I first saw the articles about nobama going to church, my first reaction was, “Why?”
Answered.
I went to the church’s website: The worship service was at 9:00 AM; the Moslem spoke at a 10:00 AM “Forum”.
What I can’t find out is when Obama actually went to the church. There is no time stamp on the AP video. He may indeed have gone to the worship service and not the Forum talk by the moslem.
Aw gee, the lamestream “news media” must have missed that fact. What a coinky-dink.
What happened to the church and state thingy? What is with all the political wonks on Sunday in a Christian church where the word of GOD is to be taught?
NO WE WON’T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU MR 0BAMA CAN GO RIGHT TO H§¶••
lol..do you think it will make fox news?
Just noting for my own reference from the Church’s website, confirmed.
