The Democratic National Committee is raising a number of eyebrows after choosing to proceed with hosting Islamic “Jumah” prayers for two hours on the Friday of its convention, though it denied a Catholic cardinal’s request to say a prayer at the same event.

Watch the promotional video, via the Bureau of Muslim Affairs, which is partnering with the DNC for the event.

The first two minutes are rather dry, but around 2:04 a muezzin sings the call to prayer with an American flag background, and the video “picks up” considerably:

Thank you! This kind of stuff finally got to me. I will just go back to lurking now as I have for 12 years.....

BIMA Convention and Bazaar Contract 1908416 3581 August 31 to September 3, 2012
It's a pdf.

Hard to disagree with anything you said..........

[Fawn]

bima has been authorized by the democratic national convention (dnc) to conduct jumah prayer as well as host festivities and islamically related functions

[Stonewall Jackson]

You’ve got to be kidding me!

[Osage Orange]

Fawn is all emotion.....

[procrustes]

Unfortunatly, The Washington Times and various bloggers are not above spreading untruths for their purposes, either. Notice that the assertations are not backed up by any objective sources!

[Fawn]

Go back in your cave.

[procrustes]

I saw that yesterday Fawn, in my researches. It’s a BIMA muzzie PDF! What did I say? What do we know? MUZZIES LIE! A LOT!

[dfwgator]

Look at it this way, would they try to pull that stunt at the RNC convention?

[Fawn]

We’re not going to read any articles about the nods and handshakes that go on behind the scenes.

[procrustes]

Well, since they oould do whatever they wanted in some public or private park, I wouldn’t put it past them. That Grover Norquist person could be right in there helping, too!
If there was an incident, they could claim discrimination and sue! All good for them!

[Osage Orange]

Go back and stick your head in the sand.

[submarinerswife]

Christians are the biggest threat to them. Dems people are such morons!

Let the Muslims play a larger role in this country and guess who are their first victims. Gays and women.

They don’t get it.

[submarinerswife]

If he loses he will declare martial law and put us all under sharia law.

And the Republicans will be too worried about what the press says about them to stop him from doing it. They will be branded as racists.

I hope it’s televised.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you...
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you...
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you...

With this kind of admission, these PC idiots might even be defeated by the Stupid Party.

Now Dolan IS praying at the DNC? What in the h-— is going on?

[cardinal4]

I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t a Semmens post..

[MacMattico]

Dolan should be praying at the DNC. A Catholic leader should not be afraid to go into the belly of the beast, and pray for their souls.
