Imam leads Democrats in prayer of conversion

Husham Al-Husainy

With heads bowed reverently, Democrats were led in prayer yesterday by a Muslim imam who essentially asked Allah to assist in converting the party members to Islam, according to a scholar and author.

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and author of "The Truth about Muhammad," took note of the invocation given at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting by Husham Al-Husainy, imam of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center, a shiite mosque in Dearborn, Mich.

According to a transcript of the prayer, which can be seen on a video clip provided by HotAir.com, the imam said:

In the name of God the most merciful, the most compassionate. We thank you, God, to bless us among your creations. We thank you, God, to make us as a great nation. We thank you God, to send us your messages through our father Abraham and Moses and Jesus and Muhammad. Through you, God, we unite. So guide us to the right path. The path of the people you bless, not the path of the people you doom. Help us God to liberate and fill this earth with justice and peace and love and equality. And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation. Ameen.

(Story continues below)

Spencer, in a post on his Jihad Watch website, said he found it interesting to see the Muslim leader praying, "in veiled terms to be sure, for their conversion to Islam, and, oh yes, for the destruction of Israel ("And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation").

"Imagine if a Christian priest or minister had prayed at a DNC meeting that those attending be guided away from the path of those doomed by God," Spencer said.

He explained the imam was echoing the Fatiha, the first sura, or chapter, of the Quran and the most common prayer of Islam.

It asks Allah: "Show us the straight path, the path of those whom Thou hast favored; not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray."

The traditional Islamic understanding is that the "straight path" is Islam, Spencer points out.

On the other hand, he continued, the path of those who have earned Allah's anger are the Jews, and those who have gone astray are the Christians.

Spencer cited the classic Quranic commentator Ibn Kathir, who says:

Allah asserted that the two paths He described here are both misguided when He repeated the negation "not." These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them.

The path of the believers is knowledge of the truth and abiding by it. In comparison, the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why "anger" descended upon the Jews, while being described as "led astray" is more appropriate of the Christians. Those who know, but avoid implementing the truth, deserve the anger, unlike those who are ignorant. The Christians want to seek the true knowledge, but are unable to find it because they did not seek it from its proper resources. This is why they were led astray. We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews.

Allah said about the Jews, (Those (Jews) who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath) (5:60).

The attribute that the Christians deserve most is that of being led astray, just as Allah said about them, (Who went astray before and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the right path) (5:77).

"Nope, not everybody. Those west of the Mississippi would be speaking Japanese."


Probably not. By this year (60+ years) the Germans would be done with destroying the Japanese (probably Nuking them or using Nerve gas or other WMD).

Holy Mother of G*d.

We have soldiers dying in Iraq fighting jihadists and we have the Democrats being led in prayer to convert to Islam.

I just saw this headline just in front of your ping. Had a good conservative friend visiting for a few minutes and took the opportunity to demonstrate FR to him. This was a good thread to illustrate the usefulness of FR because of the Malkin/Schussel information that somebody else posted.

So they've been "invited" to convert, according to another poster. Wonder if Steve Centanni would have any advice for them....

Especially disgusting when you read his anti-American and anti semitic activities here in this own country.

Hezbollah boinking muzzie.

The dems are already in the tank for the ideology of death, destruction, taking over the world, imposing a rule of religious law, and eliminating Christians and Jews.

Ummm, actually this is GREAT! Islam has a piss-poor approval rating among the average people in this country, and this is going to be a great weapon to use against the Dems.....

Oh, brother! We'd better be praying twice as hard for Congress to overcome the curse they just heard.
