Invite A Muslim To Thanksgiving Dinner
HUFFPO ^ | Nov. 25, 2015 | Rev. Al Sharpton

Posted on 11/25/2015 9:06:28 AM PST by PROCON

For the last 24 years of National Action Network's (NAN) existence, I have utilized Thanksgiving Day to serve and eat with the homeless and seniors at our headquarters in New York City. I chose to turn a day that I have serious problems with, given the history of what was done to Native Americans, into a day of family and community to show that we can extend ourselves beyond our own comfort.

We will continue that tradition this Thursday, but I have also particularly reached out to Muslims to join us in our Harlem headquarters and chapters around the country that follow the Thanksgiving NAN tradition. We hope to set one of the examples of how we must use every opportunity to counter the Islamophobia and fear mongering that some GOP Presidential candidates and others on the right have purposely and blatantly tried to whip up as a result of the recent Paris attacks. It is dangerous, despicable and has no place in our society. People of goodwill must refute such behavior in every way we can. To that end, I say, invite a Muslim to Thanksgiving dinner.

Didn't he sue NYC for lack of protection on one of his marches when somebody stabbed him?

He sure did. Even though the NYPD was already there to help keep the peace, and even though the cops quickly arrested the assailant, Al still sued the city. I believe the city settled for $200,000.

It was a classic shake-down.

I think one word answers are the best.

"Nuts."

No, Sharpton weighed over 300 pounds when he was stabbed in 1993. His layers of blubber absorbed the knife thrust, no joke.

Anyway, he should invite Muslims to his house. Several, in fact.

“Achmed, would you carve the halal turkey?

(Achmed whips out a 3 ft scimitar) “ALLAHU AKBAR!!!!”

“SLASH! GASH! SLICE! HACK! CHOP!”

Guests: “AGHHHHHH!!! ARRGH!!!! HELP!!!!!!!”

Achmed: “In the name of Allah, who wants what? Prophet’s beard, it all looks the same chopped to pieces! All this infidel blood on the walls! Just like home!”

Read the labels... A lot of turkeys are actually halal.

But not all. Be a shame if the Reverend Al grabbed the wrong kind.

Yes. We’ll be having a nice pork roast instead of turkey this time.

I heard that Sharpton invited Achmed the Clock Kid to Thanksgiving. The kid has promised to bring a gift: a “kitchen timer” that he built all by himself.
