City Council Meetings to Begin with Muslim Prayers By BOB CONNORS Updated 6:50 PM EDT, Tue, Sep 7, 2010
In the wake of the battle over a mosque at Ground Zero, a move by Hartford City Council is sure to have its critics.
The Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local imams to perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of the Council meetings in September.
Though meetings don't regularly begin with any form of prayer, an email from the Common Council called it "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."
The email even referenced the ongoing issue in New York. "One of the goals of the Council is to give a voice to the many diverse peoples of the City, which is especially important given the recent anti-Islam events throughout the country."
Council President rJo Winch called it an important move for the Council. "I feel it is very important that, as a Council, we project a culture of inclusiveness in the City of Hartford. Too often it is our differences that divide us. In my opinion, it is our combination of differences that makes us strong," Winch said.
The UNREAL part of the story: Though meetings don’t regularly begin with any form of prayer, an email from the Common Council called it “an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters.”
here i am. kill me. kill me
lol do they own the world
Well, they aren’t my brothers and sisters. These people are morons.
dhimmis. They can line up for their infrequent distribution of gruel and bow to their muzz masters.
that seems to be the plan
“solidarity”...whew, don’t even bother hiding your commie roots!
someone sue them to start with a Christian prayer.!!
Show up and burn a koran
As a Christian, I have brothers and sisters IN Christ. I do not have any Muslim brothers and sisters. My Father is the Father of the Son of God. The father of the Muslims is Satan. I know that this sounds harsh, but this is what the Scriptures teach. If anyone has a problem with this, take it up with God.
Where were these activist City Council members when there were protests about the obscene so-called anti-Christian “art” in NY? Guess “that” didn’t matter!
These idiot dhimmis will be crying “why is this happening?” when their muslim brothers are standing over them with a sword.
and they wonder why they will now have a problem...you leave a void where God is intended to be you can be sure another will fill it. Stupid idiots.
Why wait for the commie ACLU. The citizens should be making the argument and filing a lawsuit.
Disgusting inability to apply reason and logic....exactly the results of the Marxist infiltration and the Cognitive Dissonance that they have infused into all the public school curricula and media for almost a century now.
This is where they are trying to be “inclusive” with an ideology that EXCLUDES THEM AND WOULD CHOP OFF THEIR HEADS UNLESS THEY SUBMIT TO ISLAM!
You are absolute suicidal idiots, but please quit putting me and my children in danger. Put yourselves out of your misery, PLEASE!
You can’t have a ‘Christian’ prayer, the flag salute or the mention of the Ten Commandments or God anywhere in a city council meeting across America, but lo and behold you are going to open your council meetings with an Islamic prayer.
No argument from me.
