Sharia Compliance: Hartford City Council Meetings to Begin with Muslim Prayers
According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
Just imagine the furor sweeping the land if Catholics were invited to pray at a public meeting. We'd never hear the end of it. But I guess the folks in Hartford have no problem mixing religion into the public sphere, so long as it's an approved one. Of course this is merely designed for them to preen and show how morally superior they are, then when people question them they can call them Islamophobes.
Liberalism: The easy, gutless choice toward subservience!
In the wake of the battle over a mosque at Ground Zero, a move by Hartford City Council is sure to have its critics.
The Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local imams to perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of the Council meetings in September.
Though meetings don't regularly begin with any form of prayer, an email from the Common Council called it "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."
The email even referenced the ongoing issue in New York. "One of the goals of the Council is to give a voice to the many diverse peoples of the City, which is especially important given the recent anti-Islam events throughout the country."
Diversity only matters so long as there's no diversity of thought.

I thought the reason why Christian prayer on public grounds is discouraged is because the politically correct crowd was afraid the 3% of the population who aren't Christians would be offended. I don't understand how they can allow this? Aren't any Christians going to stand up, or are they just going to roll over to political correctness.
I read some imam say recently that he didn't understand why anyone would be offended by the ground zero mosque because all our grandchildren will be muslim anyway.
He may be right.
