Indeed they might. But guess what is going to be missing from any DNC connection at all its this:
Seems like the two hours muslim prayer BS Jumah which was promoted as having 20,000 muzzies in attendance is no longer a big DNC promotion any more,not even mentioned by the DNC feature that.
Here’s some better stuff from the referenced link at gateway.
Florida Family Association sent out an email alert on August 29, 2012 which reported the following two sub headlines:
“DNC approves Jumah for 20,000 Muslims.” “RNC adopts anti-Sharia plank at convention.”
The email alert and Floridafamily.org website provided a link to the DNC web site calendar of events which at that time and up until yesterday afternoon included the Juma event, which the original DNC website listed as an “official function.”
However, since then, the Jumah event was removed from the DNC web site calendar, and there is no reference at all to the event. A supporter noted in an e-mail, “It was still there 5.30 PM on 8/30/2012 and at 6.30 PM it was gone! I looked everywhere but it’s not listed anymore.”
(See video at the bottom of the page here.)
Not only has all trace of the Jumah been deleted from the DNC webiste, the Jumah was slated to be held today, far from the DNC, at a location seven miles from the Convention Center.
One can only speculate on the kind of pressure that was exerted on the DNC to disassociate itself from the Jumah. Prior to the cleansing of the DNC website, it was announced by the that Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the president of the U.S. bishops’ conference and, some think, in line to be considered to succeed Pope Benedictus XVI, had been refused the opportunity to give the closing benediction at the DNC, as he did at the RNC.
The group sponsoring the assembly is far from the mainstream Muslm community. The Grand Imam for the Jumah will be Siraj Wahhaj, Imam of the al Taqwa Mosque in Brooklyn, who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade center bombings. He is well known for his ability to be considered ‘moderate’ by much of the media, on the one hand, and for his inflammatory statements, such as the one he once gave in a speech, when he said that it was his “duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Quran.”
Both Wahhaj and Jibril Hough, who is associated with the “Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs” and a co-leader of the event, are heavily involved in the separatist American Islamist movement. </i>
I saw somewhere the 20,000 was more like a couple of hundred(?) ..... it also looks like the DNC changing their mind and having Cardinal Dolan pray could be interesting ....

Organizers of “Jumah at the 2012 DNC” had expected up to 20,000 Muslims from across the country to pray on the first day of a three-day cultural event. But only a couple of hundred unfolded chairs to sit in the park’s shade.
“This is much more than a prayer service,” Dr. Zudhi Jasser, a Muslim physician from Arizona and a conservative political ally of North Carolina’s former Republican U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, said before Friday’s event. . “It’s not about Muslim. It’s Islamists,” said Jasser, president of the Arizona-based American Islamic Forum for Democracy. “These guys are like the (Muslim) Brotherhood. What happens in America is that most people aren’t able to tell the difference between regular Muslims and those that are part of a political movement.
