Donald Trump's inauguration Drops Muslim Imam – After Inviting Him to Deliver a Benediction

An imam who previously declined to condemn Hezbollah was removed from President Trump's inauguration ceremony today, where he had been scheduled to deliver a benediction alongside other religious leaders.

Imam Husham Al-Husainy, who leads the Karbalaa Islamic education center in Dearborn, Michigan, was notably absent from the Capitol rotunda ceremony despite being listed in earlier versions of the inauguration program. His removal appears linked to resurfaced footage of a controversial 2007 Fox News interview where he refused to acknowledge Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

I am so relieved that this Imam was cancelled. We cannot expect God's blessings on our nation if false gods or deities are being prayed to in government. The First Commandment: "You shall have no other gods before Me." Exodus 20:3 It is distressing that Trump or his staff even considered having a Muslim deliver a benediction.

I was happy to see he had been removed!

[Cold Heart]

I too am relieved. Maybe it went as planned.

[ncfool]

Happy that somebody paid attention and removed that slime ball from doing a benediction.

President Trump is back. America is better today.

An anti-Trump headline, of course. Should’ve been Terrorist-supporting Imam dropped from Inauguration event.

Good, America should be a Christian nation.

There's absolutely no room for moslems in a civilized nation...among civilized people. Everywhere on earth where you find moslems in any numbers there's trouble...big trouble!

[MotorCityBuck]

Or he wasn’t invited in the first place.

Dearborn voted Trump. It is US Muslim central.

Indonesia is the largest Muslim country on earth. Pretty quiet.

Oh and Israeli birth rates are moving Muslims towards majority.

Happy to see someone was paying attention and avoided an embarrassment on the first day.

That’s true. But I also don’t think any of the others prayed in the name of Jesus.

[Taxman]

HUZZAH!

Good. How many times has a Christian religious leader ever been shown any goodwill from the religion of peace? Or been invited to speak or pray at a muzzie function? I thought so.

[escapefromboston]

Good reason to make sure we don’t get any more muslims in America. They breed like rats

[fidelis]

That young Black preacher and Franklin Graham did, loud and clear. Cardinal Dolan was his usual politically correct squish. He didn’t even bother to make the sign of the Cross after praying. So embarrassing.

God wills it.

Don't know a lot about the Muslim religion but
I did live next door to a family many years back
and the male ruled and all including the children
obeyed or else.

I was relieved to see that they dropped him from the list. Nobody wants to hear some Muslim drivelling on for goodness sakes! 😣

I just rewatced them both again on youtube. The young black preacher Lorenzo Sewell did not mention Jesus or say it was in the name of Jesus. However you are correct about Franklin Graham and I was wrong. He did clearly and unequivocaly pray in the name of the Lord of Lords and his savior Jesus Christ.

I was wondering where the Muslim was.
