Detroit prayer event puts Muslim community on edge
AP, via Yahoo News ^ | 11/11/2011 | JEFF KAROUB - Associated Press

A group that counts Islam among the ills facing the nation began a 24-hour prayer rally Friday evening in an area with one of the largest Muslim communities in the United States.

The gathering at Ford Field, the stadium where the Detroit Lions play, is designed to tackle issues such as the economy, racial strife, same-sex relationships and abortion. But the decade-old organization known as The Call has said Detroit is a "microcosm of our national crisis" in all areas, including "the rising tide of the Islamic movement."

It is not as though the Christians are blocking the intersection of Michigan and Trumbull during their prayers.

Gee...The only thing Muslims put on edge are Jewish and Christian necks.... edge of a blade.

My pity function is out of order at the moment.

Just how does this put moozlums “on edge”? Christians don’t go around killing others for the heck of it...like a considerable number of moozlums do. Why are they on edge????? Maybe the person who wrote this meant to say “moozlums want to put the necks of non-moozlums on edge”...like on the edge of their swords???? moozlums are anti-civilization and anti-freedom. Deal with it.

This is the 2nd article saying this BS I’ve seen. It’s pure Lib propaganda for their war on American culture, faith and values. No more, no less.

CAIR and Co are busy attaching this ‘fear’ by muslims to any and all Christian events as they know that we are all that stands in their way.

Today it’s ‘edge’ in a month it’s ‘unease’ in a year it’s ‘fear for their lives against the maniacial bloodlust of the Crusaders of the Cross.

Incrementalism has served them well so far.Why stop now?

That’s because it’s not an article: it’s an ad campaign....

Because the truth is to be left unspoken in the minds of mooselimbs.

I could be hazardous to their cause.

The followers of Baal were also on edge when they had an encounter with the prophet of the true God, Elijah. (1 Kings 18.) The adversary always get nervous when the saints get together and pray to put the adversary in his place.

The followers of Islam are the modern day equivalent of the followers of Baal. Same followers, same result... and it's not in their favor.

Not as hazardous is it’s going to be. ;) They really think people like us are going to just roll over like libs when they exert their au-thor i-tay...

Every story I hear from people that did time in the sand box is the same. Nothing but cowards to the core with a gang mentality. Their strength comes from intimidation by numbers and terror.

That may work with unarmed and enslaved people, but not with rednecks. Achmed will learn the hard way that many in the civilian American population share a lot in common with the infidel American soldier. Including firepower.

Maybe Occupy Detroit will do a counter protest although I haven’t heard a word if they exist or not. Maybe it’s too dangerous to be in downtown Detroit at night!

Good job. unlike that pastor terry jones who did so in the safety of his backyard, these folks are taking the prayer-fight to the enemy.

God bless them!

Christians escaping from Islamic countries should be welcomed. Mozlems here should be sent to Saudia — let them live in Mecca where no infidels are allowed

We should also know that in ALL Muslim countries, Christians are still inferior. No mmatter how SPRINGY the CNN/BBC tell us how wonderful Arab Spring illusion is. N. Gingrich was right when he said that the Arab-Spring is antio-Christian.
