I am in Tokyo. I would like to meet up with Sushiman anyhow. Can you make two copies of the tape somehow?
Wondering the exact same thing. Who gave the Imam the invite, and why?
We are all going to be in tears!
Do you think some company will come up with a video/DVD of the week's events? I've missed just about everything this whole week even though I'm at home. I'm hoping I will be able to catch tomorrow's service but I'm not sure.
He represents a major religion, observed by many American citizens.
American citizens.
Nancy Reagan approved all ceremonials, so it is likely her wish that the imam be included.
bump for tomorrow
Probably because there are millions of Americans who are Muslims. Contrary to some freepers, we aren't at war with all Muslims. Ever hear of Turkey?
Events such as these are always ecumenical with representatives of all the local major religions. Why are there priests and a rabbi? Would you exclude them too? Ronald Reagan was President to us all, regardless of our religion. We are at war with terrorism, not Islam. It is unfortunate that it seems hard to differentiate the two at times, but be assured, they are different.
Rollee,I am sorry you company lost 175 people-crap words for the most painful hurt and I join you.What is iman,did not read whole post ,just your's.
Looking at the program, they don't expect him to do much.
Thanks.
Yes. The Hip and Aware ECUSA has redacted the Third Stanza in some cases. In others, they have changed "die to make men free" to "live to make men free", which is rather metrosexual of them, don't you think? Sheesh, some day I'm going to make the decision to become a Roman Catholic and I will never look back. It all started back in the Seventies (...of course....).
After all, you wouldn't just want to go out and die for something higher than yourself, would you?
Be Seeing You,
Chris
I wonder if they are "offended". I can just see them scurrying around plotting how to "offend" all of us and make us not mention God. Their being offended will be more important than our being offended.
Perhaps they just invited the wrong Imam.
GWB trivia ping ... see my #17 above.
ANTHEM, NICK GLENNIE-SMITH SUNG BY THE ARMED FORCES CHORUS WITH THE US MARINE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
To fallen soldiers let us sing Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing Our broken brothers let us bring To the Mansions of the Lord.
No more bleeding, no more fight No prayers pleading through the night Just divine embrace, eternal light In the Mansions of the Lord.
Where no mothers cry and no children weep We will stand and guard though the angels sleep Through the ages safely keep The Mansions of the Lord.
Prager did a whole show about this today and I thought he made some good points. He loves President Bush but he was saying how Reagan was such a great president because he defined the problem of the time--communism. One point Prager made was that there is terrorism all around the globe and not all of it threatens us. The threat comes from fanatical Islamists--not all of Islam but Islamic adherents nonetheless. He said until President Bush stops using the generic "terrorism" it's going to make it harder to fight--something I hadn't considered until he mentioned it. Hope he writes a column about it.
Where can you find George Bush's family tree?
I think the ACLU is going to sue to shut it down. Too many government officials and too much GOD talk all in one place.
