The imam has a very heavy accent so it was a little hard to understand him (I’m deaf in low ranges of hearing) but this sentence stood out for me: “Master of the Day of Judgment, Oh, God, Allah, you alone we worship, and you alone we call on for help, oh, Allah, guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favored, not of those who have earned your wrath, or of those who have lost the way...”

After the prayer he launches into some sort of Islamic hymn or something, just so you know and want to turn your sound down.

“Skip” Duhurst (R) (as in Skip the Lt. Gov’s name on election ballots) said that there is nothing odd about this. Never mind that this is “Holy Week” for Christians and is the last session.

We’ve lost our frickin’ minds... Great idea having an Imam “pray”, actually gives credibility to that religion.

Every one of the Imam prayers I have read in our offices has been a prayer of conversion.

Why not a prayer to respect ALL faiths? Or something of thanks but not of “changing paths”?

Every day more evidence that the inmates are running the asylum. Like inviting a wolf to be a keynote speaker at a sheep convention. (or something like that LOL).

You can bet that the average citizen of Texas had no idea this garbage went on. When they find out, it won’t be pretty!

All I know is, if I were a Texas senator, I would find the nearest gas station and stuff down two of their burrito supremes, with extra hot sauce, and a large Coke, about two hours before session. Then I’d find a wooden bench, wait for the “invocation” to begin, and deliver my contemporaneous commentary.

I was born and raised in South Texas. I just emailed this thread to everyone I know in Texas. I urge all Freepers to do the same. Exposure is what the enemy hates the most. It’s sad to say that now we have Republicans that aren’t much better than the Liberals. If the people don’t speak up, we’re going down the toilet bowl sooner rather than later.

Please, everyone, pass this outrageous information on to your email list.

There’s actually a depiction of Muhammed being tormented by demons in Hell in the Balogna Cathedral. Some Muslims were busted for trying to blow it up recently.

Look it up.

OK, then here is my prayer:

“O, Lord, for the destruction of America’s domestic enemies, we humbly beseech thee.”
