Cal Thomas: Pandering for Muslim votes

In the race to the bottom for votes to win office, or to preserve themselves in office, it would be difficult to out-run Republicans as they pander to the Hispanic vote by refusing to control our southern border against an invasion by millions of illegal aliens. Democrats are trying and they may soon pass Republicans in their cynical pursuit of political power.

At the Democrats' "winter meeting" (they used to call it a "retreat," before that word conjured up negative implications about the war), a clergyman was asked to deliver the invocation. He was Husham Al-Husainy of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center, a Shi'ite mosque in Dearborn, Mich.

According to a transcript published on the Website HotAir.com, Al-Husainy offered a prayer with anti-American and anti-Israel undertones: "We thank you, God, to send us your messages through our father Abraham and Moses and Jesus and Mohammed. Through you, God, we unite. So guide us to the right path. The path of the people you bless, not the path of the people you doom. Help us, God, to liberate and fill this Earth with justice and peace and love and equality. And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation ... ."

To the untrained ear and uninformed mind, the first part sounds kind of ecumenical, a type of universalism and religious correctness, in which everybody's biblical or Koranic figures get equal billing, so as not to offend. But Muslims see all of these religious leaders as Muslim prophets. Their view is that Abraham, Moses and Jesus taught Islam and that the Jews and Christians perverted the Islamic faith and, according to some, deserve death for doing so.

Al-Husainy was engaging in something more dangerous than prayer. He proclaimed religious superiority and triumphalism.

I could not believe the Dems invited that guy, and I could not believe none of them objected to what he said. Any normal person would have walked out when he, in essence, prayed for the defeat of our country at a Dem gathering. Chuckie Schumer was on Hannity last night trying, but failing, to defend it. Truly sickening.

Oh you just wait...

This is but the start of the dhimmiecrats pandering to the islamonazis.

The next two years are going to be disgusting but fun as they scrape the bottom of the barrel in their quest to destroy the USA.

Geez Republican Party...stand for something!

[twonie]

True, it is hard to beat the democrat party to the bottom at feeding time. Impossible, maybe.

[Uncle Miltie]

"And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation"

I agree. The Turks should end the occupation and go back to Turkmenistan, returning Anatolia to the Greeks!

Here's a prediction...

Come Ramadan 2008 - That's Sept. 2 to Oct. 1 - The dim nominee will make at least one public appearance in a mosque.

It will be staged and reported in the media in a similar vein to the obligatory appearance that dims do in black baptist churches.

Wouldn't even surprise me if it was staged on Sept. 11.

Also wouldn't surprise me if - given this cast of characters - the GOP nominee did the exact same thing.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

So there's an alliance of the left and the jihadis - aided and abetted by the dem party.

[Oct1967]

Why, I am not surprised at all.

Muslisms all over the west support leftist candidates....the reason is they want gay marraige, abortion etc in the hope that the west will become ever more decadent also that those disgusted with society's increasing debauchery will give up on christianity and convert to islam...muslims support leftists because they rightly see leftists as the destroyers of western civilization

Anti-truth, anti-freedom collectivists of a feather flock together.

There are 43 Jewish members of Congress, the largest delegation ever. 40 of them are Democrats with six new Jewish Democrats elected in November and of the three Republicans, one is a conservative, Eric Cantor of Virginia. The other two Jewish Republicans are Arlen Specter and Norm Coleman.

"And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation ... ."

This is Demagogue code for "help us to defeat the USA and weaken it permanently."

Amazing, the shameless Demagogues are openly praying with an Islamo-fascist cheerleader who prays for our defeat -- and they go right along with the program. Not so surprising when you consider who these Demagogues really are.....

[mockingbyrd]

the shitte is hitting the fan...

Want to see something REALLY scary?

President Barack Obama declaring Eid to be a legal holiday.

Has politics come to this, that some politicians would sell out their own and other free countries for a voting bloc that contains elements committed to our destruction (Democrats), or pander to illegal immigrants who break our laws and then get Social Security checks (Republicans)? Have politicians no shame?

Cal, you know the answer to that question.
