AN UGLY INVOCATION

How is this not news! It's amazing it was reported on only a few conservative websites.

"With heads bowed reverently, Democrats were led in prayer yesterday by a Muslim imam who essentially asked Allah to assist in converting the party members to Islam, according to a scholar and author.

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and author of "The Truth about Muhammad," took note of the prayer given at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting by Husham Al-Husainy, imam of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center, a shiite mosque in Dearborn, Mich."
AN UGLY INVOCATION By DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL - Opedcolumnists - New York Post Online Edition: "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."
