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.
Fear.
Liberal politicians are showing favoritism again. :(:(:(
No future stops, no money spent in Hartford.
I wonder if the imams realize they’re being used as props in this sanctimonious little temper tantrum that the Hartford city council is throwing.
yah.....it would be waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too difficult to just stick with the Pledge of Allegiance, huh?
Must be OK with the residents of Hartford, since they elected this collection of Useful Infidels in the first place.

Colorado High School Tells Student to Remove US Flag From Truck… It’s Offensive
Hartford is a dump.
It just popped into my head. I think many are simply afraid of what they see and think appeasement is the answer.
Up to now they’ve only worn kneepads — now they’re getting on their knees.
And then apply a hot fresh coat of tar & feathers to each one of the council members who voted to approve this outrage.
Kowtowing to the enemy.
perhaps “useful idiots” is being a tad too nice to this idiotic group......??!! hope the phones ring off the hook there.
Absolutely
You have to give the mohammedans credit for being able to keep a straight face while these morons deliver themselves into dhimmitude.
