AN UGLY INVOCATION By DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL NEW YORK POST Opinion February 6, 2007 THE Democratic National Committee made a strange choice to deliver the invocation last Friday at its winter meeting: Husham al-Husainy - an extremist who has a long record of support for prominent Islamists at war with America and Israel. Al-Husainy's words before the Democrats - asking God to "help us stop . . . occupation and oppression" - were jarring enough, since he was likely referring to either American soldiers in Iraq or Jews in Israel. But his past statements and activity make those words even more ominous. Al-Husainy heads the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center mosque in Dearborn, Mich., one of the largest Shiite mosques in North America. He is an open admirer of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini - under whose rule Americans were held hostage for 444 days. During last summer's Israel-Hezbollah war, al-Husainy led rallies in Dearborn in support of the Lebanese terrorist group. Protesters displayed swastikas as well as anti-American and anti-Semitic posters. I attended one rally, at Dearborn's Bint Jebail Cultural Center - named for the stronghold in south Lebanon from which Hezbollah rockets rained on Israel. Al-Husainy was among several who delivered hate-filled, anti-American rhetoric. He cheered as others called for the hastened destruction of the Jews. Then there are his anti-Semitic, anti-American conspiracy theories. In one interview, he said: "Saddam . . . handed Iraq to the Coalition. I believe he is an agent of America . . . And, by the way, I don't want to exclude the Zionists. I think some extremists from the Mossad came in and took a chance to have some revenge, because we don't know who killed [Imam Mohammed Bakr] al-Hakim or Sergio Vieira de Mello, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights." Al-Husainy initially supported the liberation of Iraq. But by summer 2004, he was demanding that U.S. troops pull out. Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army - with whom Al-Husainy and his congregants sympathize - had launched its first bid to seize power. Once, being a fan of America's enemies would disqualify someone from a prominent role at Democratic Party events. But the Dems' opposition to President Bush seems to have changed that. Apparently, they want America to lose at all cost. nypost.com;

Here ya go moron. "Banning guns is an idea whose time has come." --U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden Associated Press 11/18/93 "Until we can ban all of them we might as well ban none." --U.S. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum Senate Hearings 1993 "No, we are not looking at how to control criminals, we are talking about banning the AK47 and semi-automatic guns!" -- Senator Metzenbaum (D-OH), during the Constitution Subcommittee of 2/10/89 "With a 10,000% tax we could tax them out of existence." --U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan Washington Post 11/4/93 "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out right ban, picking up every one of them... "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, "I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here." --U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), CBS-TV's "60 Minutes," 2/5/95 "The American people must be willing to give up a degree of personal privacy in exchange for safety and security." -- Louis Freeh Director of the FBI, 1993 "Ban the damn things (guns). Ban them all. You want protection? Get a dog." -- Molly Ivins, columnist, 7/19/94 "Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step." -- Janet Reno "When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ...... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities." -- U.S. President Bill Clinton, on MTV 3-22-94 In the last quote from President Bubba, you will note he, a DEMOCRAT, is dis-arming the American public. In the aftermath of Katrina, a DEMOCRAT disarmed the largely african american population of New Orleans. Please note who is really doing what you accuse the Repubs of doing. Stupid bot.
