Washington Examiner ^ | 5/10/19 | John Gage

The Muslim imam chosen by Democrats to to give the opening invocation for Congress this week has a record of anti-Israel rhetoric and pro-Palestinian activism.

Imam Omar Suleiman, 33, was invited to give the prayer by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas after he gave the invocation last year at the Texas Democratic Convention. Based in Irving, Texas, he is the founder and president of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research and a professor of Islamic studies at Southern Methodist University.

“A beautiful, moving, and timely prayer by Imam Omar Suleiman on the House floor today at the US Capitol. Born and raised in Louisiana, currently lives and preaches in Dallas, TX,” political activist Linda Sarsour said on Twitter Thursday.

Imam Omar Suleiman, 33, was invited to give the prayer

Is slime prayers are offensive to the principle of natural rights and repugnant to reason

Who are the brains at Southern “Methodist” University who decided to hire an anti-Christian Muslim to teach American students?

They should get their brains bashed in.

Islam is not a religion, by definition. There is a cult-like religious component, but it is more, and does not fit under what should be protected under the first ammendment. I would further argue, that as adherents are routinely killed for complaining about any aspect of it, it can’t be considered under any “free speech” clause, because it isn’t free. Liberals always want to ban something. Ban Islam!

Liberalism is destroying both Christianity and America.

I know personally. I worked at a Christian organization that had been infiltrated with Liberals and was unfortunate enough to have one as my boss.

And once it’s gone (both), it (both) won’t ever be back to anything decent, ever again. Even they will hate what it becomes. But it won’t matter, because it will be too late.

And they won’t be able to figure out what happened.

I like to remind people today that we are where we are because a PALESTINIAN IMMIGRANT shot Bobby Kennedy dead. He would have been the next President. After his death, Nixon was elected.

As it stand now any group that the government (IRS) recognizes as a religion gets to do this. So, it’s not just crazy imams, it’s Scientology, church of satan, wiccans, etc., etc.

“Liberalism is destroying both Christianity and America.”
Churches are losing me here cause they turn their backs on historic norms and morals to keep them contributions coming even from the freaks.

Yep - Satan knew what he was doing when he had Barack pervert the White House (and likewise agendas).

Cause even further division - churches too.

Good luck with that. They’ve only been around 200 years. I don’t expect to hear bitching when the Satan prayers get said from the dais.

IMHO, Democrats are on a path to self-destruction.

We probably don’t have to do too much to help them!

Their positions on the major issues are not sustainable, and eventually, with or without our help, they will just go away!

We should keep a few of them around just to remind us of their anti-American insanity!
