Imam leads Democrats in prayer of conversion Muslim leader at party's winter meetingalso asks Allah to stop 'the occupation'

Posted: February 3, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern

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. ...end of excerpt....

Could you just imagine the uproar had a Christian took the place of the Iman and prayed in Jesus' name? The ACLU would have soiled their undies!

"Either way, it is a stupid thing for the Democrat(ic)s to do, don'tcha think?"

Drop the parentheses, they are not necessary. If they are to be called the Democratic party as they insist, then they MUST Democratics.

"...the rest of us will have been beheaded....(/sarc)"

No point using (/sarc):

THE RUTHLESS DEDICATION OF OUR ENEMIES TO OUR DESTRUCTION was written across our sky with two pillars of flame and smoke in our largest city. We've seen that dedication continue, punctuated by car bombs, mortars, and random attacks against our soldiers. We've seen it continue in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Spain, Russia, Italy and England.

Our unluckiest citizens have had their heads severed from their bodies as pilot episodes of what promises to be a long running reality television series in which American heads are held up, to our horror and for the delight of those many millions that support those that take the heads. The message beyond this madness is that they would be pleased to extend this television series to 300 million beheadings in which each of us would have his "star" turn. Our enemy has not yet taken a woman or a child for a beheading, but both clearly on their programming schedule.

All these things we know. We know the nature and goals of our enemy well. Our army is at the ready and in the field. And yet we hesitate.

We hesitate because we believe our search for a moderate, modern outcome will somehow determine what actions our ancient enemy will pursue. We are a foolish people grown fat and fearful during the long peace.

We stay our hand and hobble our warriors and walk on wrapped in our suburban slumber.

(From the essay The Sacrifice and the Reckoning: Sleepwalkinghttp://americandigest.org/mt-archives/005717.php )

"I don't see any conversion language in that excerpt."

Try reading the whole article, we are only allowed to print excerpts.

You may want to say the two are equivalent, but any understanding of the two groups easily puts the lie to that.

Since Muslims and Democrats are the biggest lying sacks of shiite in the world, they should unite to serve their true god, Satan, the father of lies.

Slightly different word choice, but with the exception of the reference to Mohammed the same prayer could have been given by a Catholic priest or a Baptist minister.

Yes, I've seen numerous Catholic and Baptist beheading videos on the Internet. And I remember when the Catholics crashed the planes into the World Trade Center, and the Baptists blew up the trains in Spain and England...

I'm afraid to ask, but what will our nation look like 20 years from now?

If the Democrat party continues its march to appeasement and surrender, here's a possibility:

We were talking about the words used in this prayer, not what some other Muslims have done.

Anyway, we really don't want to get into a discussion of the actions taken historically by members of various Christian denominations vs. Muslim groups. Over any kind of extended timespan, a comparison like this doesn't look good for Christians.

The relevant point is that very few, essentially no, Christians have committed atrocities in recent decades while claiming their actions are for religious reasons.

Muslims, OTOH, certainly have done so, and with very little criticism from their co-religionists.

Why should not an imam lead the Democrats? They are allies. They will become enemies when the rest of us are dead.

They want that Islamic Vote and they intend to see that that constituency increases rapidly.
