Muslim Day of Prayer & Unity at the Capitol interrupted by Guess who?

[Are_grits_groceries]

Nearly 3,000 people gathered on the west lawn of the Capitol on Friday for a mass Muslim prayer service that was part religion and part pep rally for the beleaguered U.S. Muslim community.

As faint shouts of "Repent!" from Christian protesters floated across the gathering, dozens of long rows of men in robes and white knit caps and women in head coverings prostrated themselves to God, gave praise and listened to sermons as part of the congregational prayer that occurs about noon Fridays.

Across the street from the service, Christian protesters gathered with banners, crosses and anti-Islamic messages. One group, which stood next to a 10-foot-tall wooden cross and two giant wooden tablets depicting the Ten Commandments, was led by the Rev. Flip Benham of Concord, N.C.

"I would suggest you convert to Christ!" Benham shouted over a megaphone. Islam "forces its dogma down your throat." A few Christian protesters gathered at the rear of the Muslim crowd, holding Bibles and praying.

At one point, organizers asked them to tone it down.

*SNORT* "Islam forces its dogma down your throat." Look in the mirror buddy. You're jamming the Bible into any available orifice.

2. It's hard for me to get upset about adherents of one mythology yelling at adherents of another....

Except when one massively outnumbers the other, and is historically known for killing lots of people who look like the others side,.

6. When I was at Camp Casey with Cindy Sheehan,

we were having a prayer vigil one evening and a bus (paid for by Melanie Lorgan and Michelle Malkin) pulled up. About 50 people got off the bus and screamed at us. While we were praying for the troops. And dozens of cameras from the MSM were there filming it.

And of course that film never got any airplay.

10. And there are

supposedly intelligent people who believe in and practice this nonsense. I have a hard time believing that certain people (our more intelligent leaders, for example) actually believe in this crap. I think they know they have no choice but to say they do. But do they really? I hope not.
