Clinton hosting dinner for Ramadan geared toward young Muslims By Bridget Johnson - 09/04/10 01:27 PM ET
The administration's marking of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues Tuesday when the State Department hosts an event.
The administration's marking of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues Tuesday when the State Department hosts an event geared toward young Muslims and an Iftar dinner with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
President Obama hosted an Iftar meal breaking the day's Ramadan fast on Aug. 13. In his speech, he supported the right of the Muslim community to build the planned controversial mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, comments that touched off a firestorm including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) breaking with the president and saying the Islamic center should be built elsewhere.
Tuesday's dinner will feature a video address from Clinton. Special Representative to Muslim Communities Farah Pandith will host a special “Generation Change” event before the dinner with speakers and discussion groups.
"Consistent with the Secretary’s commitment to engaging the 'next generation' at the grassroots level, this year’s Iftar will feature many guests chosen because they represent some of the best and most innovative American Muslim leaders under the age of 30," the State Department said in a press release Saturday.
Did he hide his pork sandwich in his pocket?
Does anybody remember ever hearing of an Iftar dinner before this administration??
Where’s the pic of Hillary with her BFF Huma - the Saudi gal pal who recently got married?
How is it a FAST if all you do is skip breakfast and lunch, then CHOW DOWN on dinner?
That’s more than some people eat in many Third World Countries.
When are they hosting the dinner for young white Christians?
The Jewish new year is looming close. President George W. Bush would always remember it with cordial blessings. I wonder what Big Ears is going to do.
No. But I remember CINDY SHEEHAN doing a very similar 'fast' during some protest, and It pretty much worked the same way.
Fast while people are focused on you, then once 5:00 rolls around, head to the nearest BUFFET and PIG OUT.

As soon as they can get enough lions.
Unfortunately, George W. Bush hosted the first one less than two months after the World Trade Center was destroyed.

The State Department’s Poor Choices of Muslim Outreach Emissaries
A terrorist plot to assassinate a prince, justification of suicide bombings using the Qur’an, and apologetics for the use of terrorist violence. Chances are, none of these brought “outreach” or “bridge-building” to mind. Yet, take the State Department’s pick of individuals sent abroad to reach out to the international Muslim community, and this is what you get.
The ongoing Middle East tour by Imam Feisal Rauf, the man behind the “Ground Zero Mosque,” generated controversy because its $16,000 cost is financed by the State Department. As the IPT reported Monday, Rauf has said that the U.S. “has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hand of innocent non Muslims.” Rauf once noted that grievances don’t justify acts of terrorism, but backpedaled, saying “How do you tell the people whose homes have been destroyed, whose lives have been destroyed, that this does not justify your actions of terrorism?”

Nothing sincere. You can bet on that.

Didn't Hillary have one of the White House Christmas Trees decorated with pretty X-rated stuff or at least things you don't bring up in polite company.....
Hillary's Scheme is just as pertinent today as it was when written back in 2003...she is left of Obama, she is just far more clever at disguising it.
Dubya felt that it was possible to divide the Islamic world into radicals and moderates, and that it was possible to woo the latter to seize power from the former. Dubya wasn’t aware that in just about every Islamic moderate there is a radical waiting to spring forth under the right conditions.
Question I asked earlier on another thread: How does the number of "moderate Muslims" in America compare with the number of jobs Obama has saved or created?

I think the point is I am tired of having my country kow tow to a bunch of sand fleas. The more we kiss their backsides the more we look like cowards. When this country was founded, I would bet there were no more than ten of that “faith” here. So, since we don’t acknowledge the religion representing the probable greatest majority, why do we do anything of the sort for one so minisculely woven in the fabric of the founding? I think the biggest problem with ears is he is obsequious to his heritage to a fault.
That's better
I always thought she was Jewish. I don’t remember any stories as such, that’s just my recollection
“Did he hide his pork sandwich in his pocket?”
The article is not referring to THAT Clinton, but I thought he would have had a similar idea ,like “Hey baby, whatcha’ all got goin’ on under that burqa? Come to Big Daddy, baby! WooooHOOOO!!!!”/sarcasm
If it means she and Chelsea will don hijabs from now on, it may be a net positive.....
The Left and the Muslims - “Unholy Alliance” by David Horowitz. You should read it.
State Dept. Pressed for Imam Book Explanation
The State Department spent $10,000 of taxpayer funds to buy 2,000 copies of the book written by Ground Zero mosque promoter Feisal Abdul Rauf. U.S. embassy employees are distributing the book during the imam’s taxpayer-funded tour to Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
The Left is far more dangerous today than at any other time in history with their kissing Muslim butts.
Remember in November. We have to get out the vote so much so the Left cannot defeat us with the fraud they will perpetrate.
Nobody can sit on their butts at home, and NOT vote against the Left.

oops!
Got to get all those young muslims into the Democrat fold.
They must be working day and night to let in as many muslims as possible. Who knows maybe the immigration bureacrats are probably told to just rubber stamp any muslim immigration application without even reading it.
I have seen several television ministers talk about the muslim problem as well as the assaults on our nation by the left. The religious leaders are starting to spread the word. I am sure that many other Christian leaders are discussing this in their churches. Christians have to save America with God’s help. Amen!
Thanks for your comment as I don’t..., I refuse to watch television anymore as IMO it’s mostly Leftist propaganda, thus why bother is my point of view. I was unaware of the traffic on the matter by the television ministries.
Glad to read from you that this is being addressed.

This time many people who are not that politically aware can see the leftist extremes of the democrat party. The Democrats have been this way for about thirty years but too many people either were not paying attention or looked the other way putting other values before morality.
When the Democrats began defending abortion, that was when I left them. I could not support a party that was in favor of taking the lives of the most helpless people. When people saw this they should have realized that the Democratic party had no soul or conscience. I believe in what the Bible says: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and all other things will be given unto you.” In other words, do the right thing and God will look out for you. This country was founded on this, although we veered off the right path many times. If we seek to do the right thing - the will of God, God will be with us. That is what seeking the Kingdom of God means.
