Governor’s Second Annual Iftar (Ramadan 2006)
September 25, 2006:: Indianapolis, Indiana: The Muslim Alliance of Indiana (MAI) helped organize the second Annual Governor Iftar at the residence of Governor Mitch Daniels on Monday, September 25, 2006. Gov. Mitch Daniels reached out to more than 150 Muslims from across the state Monday night, welcoming them to his official residence for Iftar (a meal to end their daily fasting during Ramadan).
Shortly after sunset, the Muslim call to prayer rang out over the home’s back garden in the voice of Henry Hane, an immigrant from Senegal. The Muslims followed that by breaking their daily fasts with dishes from three continents. Then they performed their ritual prayers in two tents in the backyard of the residence at 4750 N. Meridian St.
Daniels told the crowd, “All God’s people are equal in his eyes. I am glad to welcome you to this home. You should think of this as your home.” The audience of Muslims from every corner of the state embraced the hospitality and presented Daniels gifts ranging from books on Muslim sex education to a wooden box ornately decorated with calligraphy from Syria, which is home to Daniels’ ancestors.

Obama says he is a Christian, too. Actions speak louder than words. If you want to support muslims, that’s your choice. I won’t and I won’t support anyone who does.
So you don’t think Muslim citizens are equal or should be welcomed at a dinner? Ready for a religious war or Crusade? Again, you’re a moron. Don’t post to me anymore. Looking at your posts over the past week, you’re simply not worth reading. Glad you like Sarah, and I hope she gets a fair shot at the nomination and the Presidency, but you’re a doofus.
From your Home Page. Great Christian thought there. Anyone who has seen war will tell you that it is an absolute last resort, and should never be welcomed. You beg for it. Pathetic.
