Excerpt:
Barack Obama, Gery Chico and Dan Hynes appeared at celebration of Eid ul-Adha at the Rosemont Convention Center:
Thousands of Muslims dressed in colorful formal garb prayed together in mosques, convention centers and other meeting places Sunday to mark Eid ul-Adha, a holiday celebrating sacrifice and thankfulness to God. During this election year, politics played a role in the festivities, too, with voter registration booths set up at most sites and political candidates speaking at larger forums, such as at the Rosemont Convention Center, where up to 15,000 Muslims were expected for three prayer services.
Before the prayers began, Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Barack Obama, Gery Chico and Dan Hynes addressed the crowd. They paid their respects and criticized some federal policies, such as the Patriot Act, instituted after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
