Jumah at the DNC Fizzles

Organizers at the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs anticipated crowds at yesterday's "Jumah at the DNC" event in Charlotte, North Carolina would reach 20,000. Instead, only 300 Muslims showed up for the open air prayer ceremony. The event had been listed on the schedule of events that were part of the officially sanctioned DNC/Charlotte in 2012 Host Committee's website. But less than 24 hours before "Jumah at the DNC" was held, nervous officials at the Host Committee quietly removed it from the list of officially sanctioned DNC pre-convention events. As Jim Hoft reported at TownHall.com last night: [T]he Jumah event was removed from the DNC web site calendar, and there is no reference at all to the event. A supporter noted in an e-mail, “It was still there 5.30 PM on 8/30/2012 and at 6.30 PM it was gone! I looked everywhere but it’s not listed anymore.” Readers can see the cleaned up version of the scrubbed August 31 schedule of events here. Officials at the Host Commitee confirmed that the event was removed. As NBC reported late yesterday: "This event, like many others on the page, was user generated," a senior Host Committee official told NBC News on Friday. "Upon further review, and because speakers for the event and statements and positions from event organizers were not appropriate and relevant to the Host Committee, Charlotte in 2012 has decided to remove the event from our events calendar."

and all of them were either part of the reelection team or part of the administration.

There, finished it.

Or maybe the DNC estimates included 72 code pink vaginas for every male attendee willing to sacrifice his Friday afternoon for the Zero.

Just shows how completely crazy their mindset is. Obama thinks we’re a bunch of pushovers and even his lib fans didn’t show up.

Jumah was a Doomah......

Did Obama cancel this photo-op? I heard Slow-Joe showed up in a turban carrying a prayer rug, saying “Hi! I am Joe-bin-Biden!”

I thought muzzies had to pray with their butts in the air

Look, 300 butts in the air is significantly less obvious than 20,000 butts in the air.

Probably would make a difference in the aroma too, come to think of it.

The gay rights groups plan to make up the difference later next week.

American Indians are not the only native Americans. We are all “native Americans” because we live in America. And they do have a point. They definitely are indigeonous Americans. The only reason they gave the American Indians the title “native Americans” was to take it away from the rest of the population and alienate us from our American roots.

300 vs. 20,000 . . . the DNC are probably thankful it fell short. How stupid are they?

Stupid enough to put it on the calendar in the first place, then stupid enough to chance pissing off the same scum they were courting by canceling it...
