They say one can tell a lot about people by the company they keep. If that adage is true, what does the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) endorsement of Occupy Wall Street and the organizations choice to conduct Friday Jummah prayers in Zuccotti Park tell us about both CAIR, and, the Occupy protesters?
An official invitation issued by CAIRs New York chapter tells members to show solidarity with the 99% by attending Friday prayers in Zuccotti Park at 1:00pm. CAIRs stated goal in hosting the prayer service at OWS is to expand the role of New York Muslims in the Occupy movement.
A sermon on social justice in Islam is slated to be delivered my Imam Aiyub Abdul Baki a supporter of the Ground Zero mosque.
From CAIR:
Dear friends,CAIR-NY is proud to support and invite you to Friday Prayer at Occupy Wall Street this Friday, October 21st, where we will join in solidarity with the 99%. Jummah, hosted by Majlis Ash-Shura (Islamic Leadership Council of New York) is scheduled for 1pm at Zuccotti Park. A sermon on social justice in Islam will be delivered by Imam Aiyub Abdul Baki.
CAIR-NYs endorsement of Friday Prayer at Occupy Wall Street stems from a conviction that many of the issues brought into the international spotlight by Occupy Wall Street affect Muslim communities disproportionately, and it is up to us to stand up for our rights and show the world what democracy and peaceful protest look like. Look for our table at Zuccotti Park to obtain information about our current projects and to expand the role of New York Muslims in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
WHAT: Friday Prayer at Occupy Wall Street
WHEN: Friday, October 21st, at 1:00-3:30pm
WHERE: Zuccotti Park on Broadway between Liberty and Cedar
Members are then directed to CAIRs Facebook Event Page for more information. 276 people have stated they will attend the prayers thus far.
Did you see this junk?
Obama and his puppet-master, George Soros, have both been aligned with both the communists and the Islamists for some time now. They befriend and stand with anybody who hates America.
When a bunch of us said that about Obama before the election we were called crazy conspiracists. I wish we had been wrong, but the more we see now, the more we are being vindicated. As people realize the truth, Obama will lose the need for his mask and we will see the connections ever more openly-displayed.
The question is whether, when all the cards have been shown, Obama’s communist-Islamist hand is able to trump free America. How many do we have on the side of freedom, and what are they willing to do when Obama resorts to Plan B because he knows he has a snowball’s chance of ever being re-elected?
