N.J. imam to be guest at Obama's State of the Union speech

WASHINGTON -- A New Jersey imam will be sitting Tuesday in the same place where House members last year voted to restrict Syrian refugees from coming to the U.S.

Imam Hamad Ahmad Chebli of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey in Monmouth Junction will be watching President Barack Obama's State of the Union address in person as the guest of Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12th Dist.). The speech traditionally is given in the chambers of the U.S. House.

"We will be, all of us, under the roof of the Congress," Chebli said by telephone. "Who can say, 'So-and-so is better than so-and-so?' We must respect each other. That is my simple message."

Watson Coleman said in an interview she invited Chebli as a response to anti-Muslim rhetoric in the U.S. The words have gotten harsher following terrorist attacks in November in Paris, where Islamic State supporters killed 130 people died, and in December in San Bernardino, Calif., where a Muslim couple shot 14 people to death....

Why don’t they just put a giant, foam middle finger in the empty chair? That’s pretty much what Obama thinks of Americans.

Allahu Akbar means Allah is Greatest

So you are saying it, as is every muslim, who are all sworn to jihad until the rest of us are converted or killed.

Islam means submission and muslims are obligated by their prophets words in their book to make us all submit.

This is so politically tone deaf that I am reminded of Queen Elizabeth being photographed giving the "Nazi" salute before the Nazis were revealed to be the monsters they were.

I predict the United States will eventually, perhaps soon, realize the Nazi monsters were inspired to their atrocities by the Islamists, who gave them the idea for the "Final Solution."

Won’t that Imam object to being seated near a homosexual?

It would not surprise me at this point if he turned the podium towards Mecca.

Right now there is an information black out on this guy wait a few months and we will find out who he really is. This is a poke in the eye a spat in the face of all Americans. The parasites in charge demand we accept those who will not assimilate and are told by thier cult book that they must kill us all.

Interesting info at this site about the guy. Don’t know if true:
“We’re not talking about a harmless, moderate Imam here. Instead, we’re talking about a major devil. Chebli’s mentor is a man named Hassan Khalid, who was the Mufti of Lebanon who was “martyred” after a bomb was set up which killed him and other. His father went the same way.

Khalid is even featured prominently on the official Muslim Brotherhood website.”

Someone please tell this person that THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES is OUR HOUSE - not hers! We don’t want our House soiled and there’s no way we would invite them into our HOUSE or our homes. Had to look her up and can’t say there was any great surprise! I think there are going to be more muslims at the SOTU speech tonight than there will be plain old patriotic Americans.. What a farce this has become!

This is no different than the in your face rainbow white house. He’s a petulant punk that thrives on thinking he won against all those evil conservatives. Will the Imam have to go thru security or will that make him feel sad?
