Muslims to pray in the White House
The Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 11/16/2001 | Ben Fenton

Posted on 11/16/2001 1:20:36 PM PST by Pokey78

PRESIDENT BUSH, eager to improve America's reputation in the Muslim world, will welcome 50 ambassadors from Islamic countries for a traditional meal and prayer at the White House on Monday to mark the start of Ramadan.

It is thought to be the first time that Muslims will have knelt and touched the floor with their foreheads in a formal ceremony in the official home of American presidents.

In another unprecedented event, the Muslim chaplain of Georgetown University officiated at the opening prayers of the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill yesterday.

Charlotte Beers, who has been chosen to take charge of an American-led campaign to build support in the Muslim world, said that the White House and State Department wanted to show sensitivity to the importance of Ramadan.

Ge 19:24-25 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

First we hear Bush "always" intended to call for a Palestinian state...now this, which breaks the first 3 of the 10 Commandments.  [What!!! No, don't tell me!  The US Supreme Court REFUSED TO HEAR the Ten Commandments Case!  On Shavuot!  Pentecost!  Oh, No!!!] 

Do you suppose the Lion of Judah rained fire in the form of Leonid showers upon Sodom and Gomorrah? They arrive in the U.S. this Sunday:

"How strong? Jenniskens is the most optimistic forecaster. He predicts the Leonids will peak at 4,200 per hour at 5:09 a.m. Sunday [November 18] over the East Coast, 2:09 a.m. over the West Coast. Others predict a peak of 1,300 to 2,000 per hour".   ...  Weekend Leonids Shower to Be Intense

Some people do not understand the principle of spiritual consequences.

It is Jesus that makes the lame walk and the blind to see....and some day as they bow their knees to Jesus they will understand!

There will be a price for the "honor" that this "Christian " President pays to Baal OPPPPPPPSSSSS I mean allah!

50 AMBASSADORS from Islamic countries! THEY'RE NOT EVEN AMERICANS, THEY'RE AMBASSADORS! In the meantime, our ambassors that live in Islamic countries have to leave their Bibles or Torahs behind.

They had to get ambassadors because there are only about 3% Moslems in the American population. There are more voodoo/santeria worshippers in the U.S. so go figure. I guess they'll be invited next.

Just because a certain someone doesn't get struck by a bolt of lightening means nothing. Read the psalms, especially #73.

Its a world trend:

Germany: Thousands Visit Mosques, November 2001
Berlin, IINA : More than 100,000 people have visited mosques in Germany, following an announcement by the Islamic centers here that the doors of the mosques would be open to non-Muslim Germans, to celebrate Unification Day. The idea is to hold constructive dialogue and establish healthy relations with the Muslims and to acquaint the non-Muslims with the teachings of Islam and its tolerance.

Egypt: November 2001: Copts Opt for Islamic Law
Cairo, IINA : Pope Shenuda III, Patriarch of Egypt’s Coptic Christians, has said that the new personal law project for the Copts does not contain any clauses on inheritance, saying that it is the Islamic Shari’a that postulates inheritance rules for all Egyptians, be they Muslims or Copts.

In his weekly lecture, Pope Shenuda said the proposal has been accepted by all the Christian sects in Egypt.

Sorry, I cut that line off above.

Well, it's one thing to be tolerant; it's another thing to mock the Almighty. And He won't be mocked.

Amen. Just when I think something is "a last straw," they do something else that is "a last straw." I seem to recall that the last time the Dalia Lhama (sp?) visited, a bolt of lightening hit the Whitehouse and fried their computer system. There is no fear of God in their eyes..........yet.

My very thoughts! Another cult of satanic worshipers in the White House!

Muslims pray for American defeat

"The Americans are digging their own grave and, God willing, our holy warriors in Afghanistan will bury them soon," said Ahmed, a 25-year-old Saudi from Khobar, who only wanted to be identified by his first name. But the prayer leader at a Khobar mosque, Sheik Mohammed al-Tawwash, was more cautious in his sermon. He called on God to "protect the innocent Muslims and give them victory over the infidels and enemies of Islam" but made no mention of the U.S.-led attacks on Afghanistan.

Well, it's a free country and you don't have to read them.
Of course, you probably perfer to censor people , who you don't agree with.

Free speach probably doesn't means anything to you.

Remember if you don't like something, you don't have to read it ,see it or listen to it.

By the way we don't live under the taliban.

I'm holding judgment until I find out if Bush prays with them. If he does.........ugh

I don't believe he'd pray with them any more than he'd INSIST upon being served Communion in the Catholic church (unlike his predecessor).
