"Plans are to have the king offer a prayer or say a few words at the Feb. 2 breakfast, then give the keynote speech at a lunch for evangelical leaders that same day."
Hmm...I predict objections to this coming shortly in the thread. A Muslim prayer at the White House Prayer Breakfast? Uh-oh.

A Muslim prayer at the White House Prayer Breakfast? The Annual Prayer Breakfast is not a White House event.
To: JeepInMazar
Oops. You're right. It's the National Prayer Breakfast. I misremembered as I posted. Still, I expect objections. I also expect that some who would normally attend will not attend.

"His position is not that there is a clash of civilizations, but, as the attacks in Amman illustrate, there's an attack on civilization as such." With that kind of position, the guy could be a Satanist, for all I care. He's definitely on the right page.

Oh, I agree with you completely. Islam is just another religion. There are haters in all religions. I'm just saying that there will be those who hate Islam and Muslims so much that they'll be horrified that a Muslim might pray at this breakfast. There are Christian leaders who will not attend because of that simple fact.

Why not have a Druid priest speak, too?

Which sucks, given that this guy is well-known for being opposed to terrorism.

Very hard to find now days.
They pretty much got killed off by a different supernaturalist group.
I do have officially issued Army dog tags listing my religion as Druid.

Ha! I'll bet there's a story behind that. I remember what I went through to get atheist on mine. The first supply sgt. said, "What's that? Some kind of protestant?" I finally got it, but it took the intervention of, of all things, the Catholic chaplain at Lackland AFB.
He was most helpful. Nice guy, too.

Although he would not be the first Muslim to speak at the annual event at the Washington Hilton, he will have a bigger role than his predecessors, said Joseph Lumbard, special adviser to the king for interfaith affairs.What vaudeville!
I reckon ALL cults, polytheists, and even "Reverend" Barry Lynn will be lining up for their shot at making a mockery of the annual National Prayer Breakfast.

The King is between a rock and a hardplace in that region. An extended hand of friendship from the US and Israel could result in a very strong/positive alliance for us against our real enemies.

So you are an atheist, no wonder. You and the Freemasons ought to agree on this one. Masons are universalists, the different religions are all equal.

But I agree: and it looks like we're going to need one.

With a stronger ally in Jordan, and the CIA/Military "taking out" (a-la Pat Robertson) the Iranian leadership, we could establish strong regional alliances, among the people as well, and show them we're not the Satan they've been told (by their leaders and the Democrats).
