Just make muslims the national religion. This is insanity.
I’ll invite them to National Beheading Day
February 30th appears to be open...
He (it) can pray on the twelth of never.
Him, and the prophet he rode in on.
Sometimes it pays to remind people that Our Lord died for our sins, and was resurrected for our salvation, long centuries before Satan concocted the false religion of Islam.
There must be three Muslims and a couple dozen Catholics in all of North Dakota.
For them, Ash Wednesday Day was a few days after Mt. St. Helens erupted.
Almost as ‘bigoted’ as if they’d ask an atheist to say a prayer on Ash Wednesday, and then realized the contradictory nature of it as well as the insult to Christians.
they’ll reschedule him to Halloween
How about we have the Grand Poo-Bah of the KKK do the invocation for all MLK Jr. festivities next year?
Is EVERYONE insane? Yeesh!
Simple solution: he can present the opening prayer as long as he consents to have his forehead signed with ashes in the form of a cross (it was *Ash Wednesday* after all). And no need to make it specific to him - whoever leads the Ash Wednesday prayer would have the same requirement.
I suspect he’d prefer to be boiled in pig fat than have his forehead marked with a cross in ashes.
Brain dead elected officials, just clueless, or don't give a crap?
Or do they leave decisions like this up to the Politically Correct bureaucrats and minions on their staffs?
“...some members thought it was more appropriate to have a Christian deliver the invocation”
Only SOME members thought that? WTF is wrong with these insane pols?
Christian organizations had better realize that, to ask a Muslim to do the invocation, would be an extreme blasphemy.
Christians and Muslims DO NOT pray to the same god.
Christians, if they are serious in practicing their religion, had better re-think the First Commandment and the term ‘false gods’.
Uh, Achmed? We have openings on the Seventh of Never, the Eleventeenth of Roseberry, and our St. Swithin’s Day Ham and Bacon Breakfast. Any of those work for ya?
“Republican leaders in the North Dakota House of Representatives said they canceled the opening prayer by a Muslim on Ash Wednesday because some members thought it was more appropriate to have a Christian deliver the invocation”
Good. But whose idiotic idea was this in the first place? I want names.
Will the Muslims approve of Christian prays for Eid?
