DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: RADICAL MOSLEM AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE WINTER MEETING

Democrats Invite Radical Muslim to Speak at Nat'l Committee Meeting
By Warner Todd Huston (02/04/07)

Unbelievably, the Democrats invited a radical Muslim Imam to give an invocation at their Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting today. His name is Husham al-Husainy and he is Imam of the Karbalaa Islamic Foundation in Dearborn, Michigan (a Shi'ite sect). – VIDEO LINK(1). During this "prayer", al-Husainy said:

We thank you, god to send us your messages through our father Abraham, and Jesus and Mohammed, through you, god, we unite, so guide us to the right spot we wish for peace, equality and help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation.

At first thought and to the western mind, that almost sounds benign. After all, didn't he invoke Jesus and Abraham there? However, as Robert Spencer notes in Islam " all of these (Jesus, Mohammed, and Abraham) were prophets who taught Islam, and that the followers of Moses and Jesus corrupted their teachings to create Judaism and Christianity. So what seems to be a gesture of ecumenical generosity is actually a declaration of religious imperialism and the delegitimization of other religions."

Spencer goes on to say:

Also, imagine if a Christian priest or minister had prayed at a DNC meeting that
those attending be guided away from the path of those doomed by God. In this, in
any case, the Imam is echoing the Fatiha, the first sura of the Qur'an and most
common prayer of Islam. It asks Allah: "Show us the straight path, the path of
those whom Thou hast favoured; not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray." The traditional Islamic understanding of this is that
the "straight path" is Islam.

Leave it to Democrats to allow what they would term "hate speech" were it a Christian utilizing similarly inspired rhetoric to basically denounce other religions.

This isn't the only questionable thing about al-Husainy, though. He has a long history of radical activities in this country.
