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.

Well Rev. Al, do you also have serious problems with a religion that is responsible for raping, maiming, torturing, and killing people every single day? What day will you pick to commemorate that one Rev. Al?
Dumbass community organizer.
Don’t eat with your left hand they will kill you. Other than that, what could go wrong?
Boy, oh-boy. He certainly likes to let everyone know how righteous he is.
No Achmed, that ticking is just the oven timer...
I did once a relative by marriage. He found the bacon that was cooked with the spinach. I don’t think I have ever gotten such a dirty look.
Invite a mohammedan to dinner ya say?
How do they go with fava beans?
LOL!
No
I think it would be delicious irony if the Rev “Big” Al invites a muzzie over with a big public display -and he turns out to be a jihadi who detonates his suicide vest which takes out everyone around him.
Happy Thanksgiving indeed. :)
I bought a couple of side dishes pre cooked at Whole Foods and the bacon was in there.
At least if it’s whole foods and the bacon in question was not confined to a fraction of the space the pig’s body demands, and endures for the entire 4 adult years of its adult life until the merciful slaughter! Imagine staying in place,confined so tightly that you could not move for 4 years?
That’s what I’m talking about.
Priceless!
