Re the DNC and the Iman in Dearborn::: I thought this was also interesting by Spencer.... It is interesting to see the Democrats standing with heads bowed piously while the Imam Husham Al-Husainy prays, in veiled terms to be sure, for their conversion to Islam, and oh yes, for the destruction of Israel ("And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation"). UPDATE: Some people have questioned my quote from Ibn Kathir above, asserting that it is just one "extremist" interpretation, and that I am ignoring others. Allow me therefore to note that most Muslim commentators believe that the Jews are those who have earned Allah's wrath and the Christians are those who have gone astray. This is the view of Tabari, Zamakhshari, the Tafsir al-Jalalayn, the Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn Abbas, and Ibn Arabi, as well as Ibn Kathir. One contrasting, but not majority view, is that of Nisaburi, who says that "those who have incurred Allah's wrath are the people of negligence, and those who have gone astray are the people of immoderation." along with lots of blogger comments, including this one: I still can't believe that the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE actually allowed prayer at its meeting. And when it does, it allows MUSLIM prayer. snort Classic. Why do I feel like we are doomed?

And yet the Jews vote predominantly Democratic. Splain that one to me, vote for the party that wants to take their wealth and prays for their destruction.

I saw the hotair broadcast with the Imam, and it makes me wonder if the DNC has completely lost its head. Recall just after 9/11 Bush himself had a bunch of these guys up on the stage and the best thing they could say was "Don't concentrate on the bad, but concentrate on the good." (Something like that.) I think this country should be VERY careful before cozying up to these Imams. It's not clear to me that they are religious leaders instead of terrorist zealots.
