MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minnesota Muslim group is calling on North Dakota Republican leaders to apologize for un-inviting a Muslim leader from offering an invocation before the state House.

"Lawmakers of any political persuasion should reject religious bigotry and exclusion," Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Minnesota chapter, said Friday in a statement.

House Republican leaders said earlier they asked Nadim Koleilat not to participate on Ash Wednesday after some in Republican House members complained it was inappropriate.

Koleilat, who leads the Bismarck Muslim Community Center, was asked by the state Senate to offer an invocation the same day.

CAIR, based in Washington, D.C., describes itself as an American Muslim civil liberties organization.

The GOP should make them crazyass Muzzies a deal. They'll "apologize" if the Muzzies go back to where they came from and stay there.

AS IF the Muslims would allow a Christian to pray on Ramadan at a Michigan event. Nothing what-so-ever to apologize for here in North Dakota.

No apologies.

The muzzies can (and should) shove it.

Is there nothing that Muslims won’t whine about? Screw CAIR and their Muslim Brotherhood sympathies.

“Lawmakers of any political persuasion should reject religious bigotry and exclusion,”

Lawmakers realized that Islam isn’t a religion.

The Correct answer for the Imam to give would be:

“We as Muslims understand the importance of other religious holidays and event and we would like to say that understand there was a scheduling conflict and would like to let the lawmakers know that we would be happy to hold a prayer at a more convenient time for them as we do not wish to intrude on a sacred catholic tradition”.

But hey their Taquiya is only skin deep so we see them pitching a fit now.

Their Taquiya is only skin deep, their response EXPOSES it.

Absolutely no way. Since when did Muslims start running this country? The Anti-Christ is here right now.

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, who are serious in practicing their religion, had better re-think the First Commandment.

“Lawmakers of any political persuasion should reject religious bigotry and exclusion,”

Nonsense! Islam’s attitude towards women, children, the Constitution and our system of laws means lawmakers should exercise good judgement, and have nothing to do with Islam. Religion is like everything else. There are good religions and bad religions. Islam is bad, very bad, and it shouldn’t be promoted by Western leaders.

This is another one of those “TAIL WAGGING THE DOG”. incident. The Muslim population in this country is about 1%, but they are demanding an equal chair. When and who, in this country, decide to grow a pair, and tell them to “PISS OFF”? Pretty soon, they will be demanding that their side of the city must be ruled by “SHARIAH LAW”. And, of course, these weenies that call themselves POLITICIANS will acquiest.
