Great. You thought traffic in DC was bad. Wait until they start begin their US-Mecca.

The 100-year old Washington National Cathedral — celebrated as our “National House of Prayer” by Congress — is opening its doors, pews and pulpit to “radical Muslims” who will essentially turn the cherished Episcopal Church into a mosque.
On Friday, for the first time ever, this prominent and powerful symbol of America’s Judeo-Christian heritage will host a Muslim prayer service.
According to nbcwashington.com:
Planners say they hope Friday’s service at the historic cathedral will foster more understanding and acceptance between Christians and Muslims around the world.
The National Cathedral is where America holds very special religious services — funerals for our presidents, like Ronald Reagan, and for our heroes, like Neil Armstrong.
Now, as a piece on investors.com notes, this great church is welcoming into its sanctuary questionable organizers of this first-of-its-kind Muslim prayer event:
Who are these “organizers”? Members of known Muslim Brotherhood front groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
The Justice Department has identified both as belonging to the Hamas wing of the radical Brotherhood. It’s also implicated them in a Hamas conspiracy to raise millions for Palestinian suicide bombers.
These co-sponsors of the National Cathedral jumuah (“for invited guests only”) remain unindicted co-conspirators in a major terror case.
An article in the Washington Post informs us that event organizers say they are seeking to make a statement by having Muslim leaders hold their midday service in such a visible and venerable Christian house of worship.
About 100 invited guests will reportedly attend the closed service, which will be spoken and chanted. The Post story says that Muslim leaders will bring prayer carpets.
“We want the world to see the Christian community is partnering with us and is supporting our religious freedom in the same way we are calling for religious freedom for all minorities in Muslim countries,” said Rizwan Jaka, a spokesman with the prominent ADAMS mosque in Sterling, Va., one of the co-sponsors of Friday’s service.
“Let this be a lesson to the world.”
But some are wondering what kind of “lesson” this will actually teach.
As the editorial in Investor’s Business Daily observes, it could well be that Muslim leaders want the lesson to be that Islam’s infiltration into the highest levels of traditional American life knows no bounds…that event organizers are happy to have their groundbreaking prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral for deeply symbolic reasons:
There are few more powerful symbols of our Judeo-Christian culture than the cathedral — and that’s exactly why the Islamists targeted it.
It's an Episcopalian church.
“they are seeking to make a statement by having Muslim leaders hold their midday service in such a visible and venerable Christian house of worship.”
The statement is that they are superior to Christians and now we all are made to know it. Bow down Dhimmi’s.
Mooch of Arabia. :-)
Don’t kid yourself, that [muslims], not Mexicans, is what this “amnesty” is all about.
How long before the crosses and icons will be removed so as not to offend?
Look for it anyday now.
I just found out that there’s a MOON ROCK embedded in one of the National Cathedral’s stained glass windows. No problem with that, per se ... but:
Do the mohammedans know this? Will they be bowing and groveling in the direction of the Moon rock?
Great. You thought traffic in DC was bad. Wait until they start begin their US-Mecca.
It is my understanding—and I may be remembering this wrong—that once a building is used for muslim worship, it becomes a mosque.
If so, the apostate Episcopal “church” is about to lose its greatest U.S. landmark!!!!
RE: once a building is used for muslim worship, it becomes a mosque.
Is that an Islamic doctrine?
It’s about the Rats pandering to the illegals in hopes of establishing a new permanent voter base like they have with blacks.
I do believe and correct me if im wrong but muslim prayers said within a christian church is seen by them as a conquering it and the land beneath in the name of islam. Once again the nevel chamberlains of our time have sold us out
I tired to research this, and several articles say that a mosque must be a building that has been specially prepared for muslim prayer. So I may be wrong.
But we need to watch out! Both the Christian cathedral of John the Baptist in Damascus and the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople became mosques—the first after a long time period, and the second instantly—as soon as Mehmed the Conquerer prayed in it.
