Thousands of Muslims gathered on Capitol Hill Friday for a massive Islamic service to pray “for the soul of America.”
It was estimated that the nation’s capital hosted some 50,000 Muslims for a traditional Friday prayer ritual.
Organizers said they are moderate Muslims and the “Day of Islamic Unity” was to “inspire a new generation of Muslims.”
Their Web site states, “our time has come.”
CBN News Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck was at the event. Click play for his analysis followed by a response from two Christian ministers on the mass gathering.

Actually, the video report says:
1. organizers expect 50,000
2. the number was less than 5,000, the estimate was 3,000 to 4,000.
It will be interesting if Bill O’Moron reports the 50,000 number while sticking to the 9/12 number of 75,000.

Was that the same day they arrested one of the faithful here in Dallas for trying to blow up a sky scrapper? Guess his invitation got lost in the mail.

If America is not a Christian nation, it will be part of the Islamic nation.

Yes, and it seems our nation, and it people are at the “Cross” road today.
May we never forget, “For the preaching of the “Cross” is to them foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18).
