CBNNews.com - President Bush is hosting a controversial event at the White House Thursday evening, with an invitation to Muslim officials and clerics to join him for prayer and dinner in observance of the holy month of Ramadan.
Many Christians question the president's decision to make the Islamic celebration of "iftar" into a standard religious observance for the White House.
Iftar officially breaks Muslims' daytime fast.
Islam, referred to by some politicians as a religion of peace, is viewed by many conservative Americans as a faith rooted in violence and hostility toward non-Muslims, collectively referred to as "infidels."
One of the invited guests to Bush's annual event is Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Ellison, the only Muslim elected to office, asked to be sworn into his position in Congress with the Koran instead of the Bible.
The Democrat expressed that he is looking forward to Thursday's iftar event at the White House, and noted that he has also engaged in Ramadan observances at the Pentagon and the Capitol.
This week, the House voted unanimously, 376-0, to recognize Islam's holy month of Ramadan. The resolution commended Muslims and hailed the Islamic faith as "one of the great religions of the world."
More pro-Muslim sentiment by the U.S. government was evident on September 25 when a Muslim cleric delivered the House's daily prayer.
The Bible teaches that leaders who embraced, tolerated or celebrated foreign gods brought suffering and disaster upon their nation.
Why did this never happen before 9/11? We’re showing our enemies that terrorism works.
Aw c’mon.
Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that it’s not “the religion of peace”.
Bush is an absolute fool.
Not really. I thought it to be unbelievable the first time. But it’s now being done for years. It has become a routine practice of pandering to the cult of islam.
“The Bible teaches that leaders who embraced, tolerated or celebrated foreign gods brought suffering and disaster upon their nation.”
No, it’s actually quite believable. Cultural diversity, political correctness, liberalism, amnesty...all things that destroys a nation. Can’t just have one, you’ve got to implement them all.
This guy absolutely turns my stomach! How much longer are we stuck with him? Around 450 days?
I’m going to be physically ill...
Multiculti BS that does nothing but convince muzzies that we are weak and stupid..... During Gulf War I our guys weren’t even allowed to have Christmas trees in the desert as it might offend the sensitive muzzies..... STOP THE INSANITY!
Why is Bush kowtowing to the filthy Islamofascists? We are at WAR with them. Did Roosevelt have Nazi appreciation day at his White House? This is beyond absurd.
I hope they frisk these guys.
How can one who claims Christ as his savior sit in prayer with people who worship Allah ?
I am in total agreement with you. I don’t quite know what the heck he’s thinking.
May God have mercy on our nation.
Lovely. Maybe later GW could lead his Islamic buddies over to Walter Reed and sing Christmas carols to the troops during the holiday season. I have no idea WTH this guy is thinking...
After voting for this guy four times I am really ready for him to be gone!
Bleah!
Very excellent point! Worth repeating.
I declare today... ‘Dhimmi Day’ at the White House!
How about celebrating the US MILITARY...
