Clinton hosting dinner for Ramadan geared toward young Muslims By Bridget Johnson - 09/04/10 01:27 PM ET
The administration's marking of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues Tuesday when the State Department hosts an event.
The administration's marking of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues Tuesday when the State Department hosts an event geared toward young Muslims and an Iftar dinner with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
President Obama hosted an Iftar meal breaking the day's Ramadan fast on Aug. 13. In his speech, he supported the right of the Muslim community to build the planned controversial mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, comments that touched off a firestorm including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) breaking with the president and saying the Islamic center should be built elsewhere.
Tuesday's dinner will feature a video address from Clinton. Special Representative to Muslim Communities Farah Pandith will host a special “Generation Change” event before the dinner with speakers and discussion groups.
"Consistent with the Secretary’s commitment to engaging the 'next generation' at the grassroots level, this year’s Iftar will feature many guests chosen because they represent some of the best and most innovative American Muslim leaders under the age of 30," the State Department said in a press release Saturday.
Did he hide his pork sandwich in his pocket?
Does anybody remember ever hearing of an Iftar dinner before this administration??
Where’s the pic of Hillary with her BFF Huma - the Saudi gal pal who recently got married?
How is it a FAST if all you do is skip breakfast and lunch, then CHOW DOWN on dinner?
That’s more than some people eat in many Third World Countries.
When are they hosting the dinner for young white Christians?
The Jewish new year is looming close. President George W. Bush would always remember it with cordial blessings. I wonder what Big Ears is going to do.
No. But I remember CINDY SHEEHAN doing a very similar 'fast' during some protest, and It pretty much worked the same way.
Fast while people are focused on you, then once 5:00 rolls around, head to the nearest BUFFET and PIG OUT.

As soon as they can get enough lions.
Unfortunately, George W. Bush hosted the first one less than two months after the World Trade Center was destroyed.

The State Department’s Poor Choices of Muslim Outreach Emissaries
A terrorist plot to assassinate a prince, justification of suicide bombings using the Qur’an, and apologetics for the use of terrorist violence. Chances are, none of these brought “outreach” or “bridge-building” to mind. Yet, take the State Department’s pick of individuals sent abroad to reach out to the international Muslim community, and this is what you get.
The ongoing Middle East tour by Imam Feisal Rauf, the man behind the “Ground Zero Mosque,” generated controversy because its $16,000 cost is financed by the State Department. As the IPT reported Monday, Rauf has said that the U.S. “has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hand of innocent non Muslims.” Rauf once noted that grievances don’t justify acts of terrorism, but backpedaled, saying “How do you tell the people whose homes have been destroyed, whose lives have been destroyed, that this does not justify your actions of terrorism?”

Nothing sincere. You can bet on that.

Didn't Hillary have one of the White House Christmas Trees decorated with pretty X-rated stuff or at least things you don't bring up in polite company.....
Hillary's Scheme is just as pertinent today as it was when written back in 2003...she is left of Obama, she is just far more clever at disguising it.
Dubya felt that it was possible to divide the Islamic world into radicals and moderates, and that it was possible to woo the latter to seize power from the former. Dubya wasn’t aware that in just about every Islamic moderate there is a radical waiting to spring forth under the right conditions.
Question I asked earlier on another thread: How does the number of "moderate Muslims" in America compare with the number of jobs Obama has saved or created?

I think the point is I am tired of having my country kow tow to a bunch of sand fleas. The more we kiss their backsides the more we look like cowards. When this country was founded, I would bet there were no more than ten of that “faith” here. So, since we don’t acknowledge the religion representing the probable greatest majority, why do we do anything of the sort for one so minisculely woven in the fabric of the founding? I think the biggest problem with ears is he is obsequious to his heritage to a fault.
