Islamic Imam Leads U.S. House of Representatives in Prayer ‘in the Name of Allah’ (Barf Alert!)

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.”

I wonder if any Members were absent? Probably none of them had the courage to walk out.

This is my email to my rep Rob Woodall:

Issue: OTHER

Message Subject: OPENING PRAYER IN THE HOUSE ON 11/13/14
Message Text:
Is it true that this is the opening prayer in the House of Representatives on Thursday 11/13/14? The 435 representatives in the House now were not voted into office NOR reelected to a new term in 2015 to have this nonsense spouted in the legislative body of the federal government. Were there no Christians in attendance who had the guts to get up and walk out of the house chambers? We do not expect NOR elect our representatives to be politically correct. We elect them to represent us for the good of the country and allowing this to take place in ANY building of our federal government is not for the good of the country. It is downright disgusting and insulting to us as voters. Please tell me you did not sit and take part in this abomination. (my signature)

Who invited this head TERRORIST to do a prayer in the US House? If it was Bonehead, let’s get a TRUE AMERICAN to lead the house.

Don’t insult Satan by comparing Allah to him. Allah is Satan’s manure.

“...Moozlums want to murder you and your family. The way this PC BS is going, it is only a matter of when and where. Best of luck.”

Listen, “infidels”: Islam teaches that you are “the worst of creatures”. Muslims who take Islam seriously hate you and want you dead.

Your only recourse is your own personal resources. The government won’t protect you. The police will show up to chalk outline the body. Political correctness favors the Islamic side, as in:

“Political correctness: the view that an “infidel” found knifed, shot, or beheaded inside his own home is somehow morally superior to an “infidel” explaining to police how the Muslim jihadi lying in his driveway got those multiple fatal bullet wounds.”

Despite the liberals’ & the Muslims’ worst intentions these times are not as difficult as before to obtain weapons, ammunition, concealed licensing, and combat training.

We “infidels” do not live in Egypt or Pakistan and muzzies here gnash their teeth & call it unfair. “Infidels” in America can shoot back & cut flesh and need to be prepared to do so in defense of themselves & their loved ones.

Bad, bad news.

"You shall have no other gods before[a] me... I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me...

“Whose idea????!!!!!?????

I want to know!”

Don’t know whose idea it was but it’s enough for me to know that Boehner allowed it and stood behind the Iman with head bowed. Watch the video.

Islam just keeps getting a stronger and stronger foothold.

One day, the axe will fall. And by then it'll be too late to do anything about it.
