WASHINGTON – An Islamic imam led the U.S. House of Representatives in prayer ‘in the name of Allah’ this week, as those representing the people from states across America stood with their heads bowed and eyes closed.
Imam Hamad Ahmad Chebli of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey in Monmouth opened the day on Thursday, being introduced by Speaker John Boehner.
“In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful,” he began. “Praise be to Allah, the cherisher, the sustainer of the world, the most gracious, the most merciful master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship and thine do we seek.”
“Guide us to the safe path,” Chebli continued. “The god of the prophets and the messenger says in the Koran [that] he does not place a responsibility on you greater than you can bear. Everyone will receive the good they have earned and vice versa.”
He then asked asked that Allah bless and guide Congress.
“O god, bless us as we begin a new day. Bless this assembly. Bless the people and the nation it represents. O god, at this time in our history, the challenges for our nation and the world are many,” Chebli said. “O god, grant these men and women the wisdom, the guidance and the strength to pursue compassion, justice and sound judgment. O god, in your wisdom, the guidance and the strength to pursue responsibility and honor.”
O god, please help them with your guidance and your light. O god, improve the well being of all inhabitants of this great nation and beyond,” he continued. “O god, improve the well being of all inhabitants of this great nation and beyond. Amen.”

That is one of the reasons why Americans have been ARMED to the teeth.
Democrat Rush Holt invited him, evidently the diversity must include religions as well.
“Guide us to the safe path,”
No.
I will not covert and I will not be a dhimmi.
You can make my path as dangerous as you want — but just remember that payback is a Hillary.
Uh, Boehner, that new majority you have isn’t due to Muslim votes.
What is WRONG with you?
Allah is the devil.
Pick a name....

My fear is not that we are bringing on God's judgment. Rather, I fear that this country has been judged by God already, and what we are now witnessing are the consequences.

The CATHOLIC church has insisted Congress promote religious diversity, so DEMOCRAT Rush Holt invited the IMAM to pray. John Boehner is Catholic....The Chaplain government office has the prayer on their website as well.
What's wrong is that he's better than you. He's better than me. In fact, he's just better than almost all Americans — you see, he's elite, and we're not.
He won, not because he earned the votes, but because he deserved them. (You see, earning
would imply that they weren't automatically due him.)
It's why laws don't apply to him, but do you you and I. It's why we cannot understand that everything he does is great, and good, and worthy of praise.
It's why we should have to work for pay, whereas pay is due him for his mere existence: He is elite, and we are not.
Welcome to The American Caste System.
Cool headgear.
I wonder if they have ones with logos like ball caps?

I can’t wait until Tom Cruise shows up to represent Scientology. He’ll be jumping around shouting ‘KSW’ ‘KSW’. Should be a hoot.
I agree with everyone on this thread who believes this IMAM should NOT have been allowed to pray in the House...however, this is diversity law.
The Catholic Church has promoted this, and Democrat Rush Holt invited him. John Boehner is Catholic....between a rock and hard place legally and religiously.

The Christians among the 435 could not have simply gotten up and walked out when he commenced????? What better message could be sent? Time to send our messages to our reps now - from every state! Let them choke on them.
Expect the “Church” of Satan to ask for their turn.
