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.

So what? Like I said, great governor, and would be (will be, should he choose to run) a great president.
You think that I’m not going to vote for someone who has been an outstanding governor to the people of Indiana because he hosted some dinner? Please.
Pandering to the muslims. Always a good sign.
Daniels recently received an award from the Arab American Institute. This is Zogby’s group which supports groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and is very much pro illegal immigration. Turns out he’s been involved with them for some time.
Daniels is a non-starter.
