An imam’s prayer is worth just slightly less than 1/4 f*rt on a summer day.

Islam, when you just cannot generate enough hate by yourself and want professional help.

The Team was murdered in exchange
for one double of bin Ladin.

The winner: Obama and the DNC would win an Election
while helping Islam against America.

[skeeter]

This imam didn’t convert squat.

I don’t know what the hell it means, and I don’t care. The “religion” is full of hate.

The companions of heaven are the winners.

The Koran is a laughable text. It is chock full of drama queen antics, selfishness, juvenile language, violence, all wrapped up in the genes of a horny old man.

Ever read it?

It sounds like this:

"O you who believe! Allah will send those to Hell if they do not join the slaughter! O yea! Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers! Fight for the cause of Allah, for thou are then foretold to be Winning! May you have the pleasure of a Virgin's oil in Paradise! Unlike the Pigs and Monkeys that doest not be a Winner!"

Prior to his interview with TheBlaze, Coughlin provided an extensive explanation of the prayer, highlighting scripture from the Koran to show where the imam was pulling his commentary from. It seems verses in Surah 59:20 – 59:21 were employed in the cleric’s commentary, but the Islam expert argues that one must also consider Surah 59:19 to properly understand how to interpret the subsequent verses shared in the prayer.

Using the Yusuf Ali translation of the holy book (one of the most known and used English translations), Coughlin provided the verses to TheBlaze:

And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors! (Koran 59:19)

Not equal are the Companions of the Fire and the Companions of the Garden: it is the Companions of the Garden, that will achieve Felicity. 
(Koran 59:20).

Had We sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, verily, thou wouldst have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah. Such are the similitudes which We propound to men, that they may reflect. 
(Koran 59:21)

While the Muslim cleric’s words have, thus far, been described as a collective “prayer,” Coughlin notes that they extend beyond mere invocation, mostly because the faith leader’s comments also involved reading out of the Koran. In citing scripture from the holy book, the Islam expert noted that the verses had a specific meaning — one that focuses on the victory of Muslims over non-Muslims.

Intent matters. Seems to be some confusion about what was said.

[Truth2012]

I think the whole entire “swims with the fishes” event, was to give bragging points and revenge to the Muslim Brotherhood.

[dangus]

There seems to be an unjustified presumption that the soldiers are the companions of fire. To do so, there would seem to be something to flip the context which contrasted the soldiers with “the enemies of individuals of human liberty.”

[The Great RJ]

Are there no military chaplains available that the military had to import this imam? Was he there to pray for the Afghan soldiers or the likely Christian US dead or both?

[OpusatFR]

Piffle.

As though the rants of a syncratic desert religion trump the Lord of the Universe.

I know of two Seals and they are Christian and I’m sure the rest had their come to Jesus moment long ago.

[mbarker12474]

The issue here isn’t the merits of Islam or, two some extent, the merits of the Sura from which the prayer was taken.

The issue is that the DoD invited an Imam to a service for non-Muslim service members in the first place, and allowed him to read from his “scripture” declaring that infidels (read: U.S. service members) are headed for a fiery death.

[Jedidah]

“potentially problematic”

?????

[Jewbacca]

It’s mumbo jumbo.

An iman has no power to affect anything but diseased minds.

[envisio]

I stepped in a big pile of dog crap this morning and I gave it more recognition that anything that comes out of this muslim’s mouth.

The only good imam is on with a 5.56 hole right between his eyes. SPIT!
