GOP Convention Invocation

CSPAN ^

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Imam Izak-El Mu'eed Pasha, New York Police Department chaplain, delivered the Invocation tonight at the GOP Convention and started it off in Arabic and had blessings from the prophet Mohammad.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Am I the only one turned off by this blatant effort to be inclusive.

[DoughtyOne]

No you are not. This is a Christian nation. You just wait and watch the whirlwind we are sewing this this travestly call diversity.

[Tree of Liberty]

Ticked me off nice and royal-like.

[Kackikat]

I am not impressed with this, whose bright idea was having a Muslim start the RNC????

[CTpatriot]

Who do you think? The very same person that celebrates Ramadan in the White House.

[savagesusie]

NO, Michael Savage has just been ranting about it for the last 15 minutes. I am disgusted also.

[BurbankKarl]

I hope he didnt say Allah Akbar....well, at least the signal wasnt broadcast nationwide

[CatOwner]

"whose bright idea was having a Muslim start the RNC????"

I would say President Bush. It is his insistence that Islam is a religion of peace. Have a problem with it? Talk to the President and ask him why!

[ex-snook]

Don't ya just love Bush inclusiveness or do you think that Bush is anti-Semitic for regarding Islam as a religion of peace? [sarcasm off]

[CWOJackson]

Poor snooker.

I see you just can't get over how your hero pat buchanan made such a fool of himself on Michael Medved today. You should get used to it, it happens everytime he opens his mouth.

[CWOJackson]

What the snooker there is so wound up about is how pat buchanan, in his latest book and today on Michael Medved, insists that Islamic Extremists ARE NOT a threat to the United States.

Seems things are different in the ulternative universe where pat and snookers lives.

[Knute]

I sometimes wonder who scripts these things?
What part of jihad don't they understand?

We are involved in war and the enemy's spokesperson is praying to open our convention?????

[Rakkasan1]

I'm so opened minded my brain fell out.
oh well, Insha'Allah.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

GWB will pass the inclusiveness test if he provides equal time for Christians, Jews and Buddhists:

[keithtoo]

I guess we're gonna sell these folks the explosives to blow us up with???

[Kackikat]

I can understand wanting to be gracious and show you are not a bias person, BUT I would have preferred a christian to choose a christian prayer to start the RNC.

[Renatus]

The prayer was a waste of time. Allah doesn't exist.

[Kackikat]

Allah does exist in Satan, who else murders, kills and destroys.

[truthkeeper]

Oh good God. Was this necessary??

[Fester Chugabrew]

So the convention opened with some innoucuous, public spewing. Let us pray quietly in our homes. He is a sample for those who may be at a loss for words:

O merciful Father in heaven, who holdest in Thy hand all the might of man and who hast ordained the powers that be for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of them that do well, and of Whom is all rule and authority in the kingdoms of the world, we humbly beseech Thee, graciously regard Thy servants, the President of the United States, the Governor of this Commonwealth, our judges and magistrates, and all the rulers of the earth.

Allow all that receive the sword as Thy ministers bear it according to Thy commandment, O God. Grant them wisdom and understanding, that under their peacable governance Thy people may be guarded and directed in righteousness, quietness, and unity. Protect and prolong their lives, O God of our salvation, that we with them may show forth the praise of Thy name; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen.
