Will what Barack Obama calls “one of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset”, the Muslim call to prayer end the first day of the kickoff to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, NC?
According to the Charlotte DNC homepage, ‘The Jumah at the 2012 DNC’ will welcome some 20,000 Muslims to Charlotte, DEM-dubbed an “official event”.
‘Jumah at the 2012 DNC’ starts Friday afternoon, Aug. 31 jumah prayer followed by a myriad of other as yet unidentified programs and events, but leading up to the Islam Regal Banquet. (halal, of course).
Why don’t ‘Jumah at the 2012 DNC’ chief organizers Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj step right up and ask : “Where’s the Muslim caucus or council? You’ve got one for everybody else.”
GBTV’s Glenn Beck is not looking at the floor from the ceiling when he repeatedly declares: “It’s an upside-down world.”
Funny how OWS’ darling Obama is being rechristened at a place named for a bank, even though we know they’re trying to change it to Panthers Stadium.
In the media number tally of the big event, while Muslims are left outside the Big Tent in other parts of the city, there will be some 15,000 journalists covering the mega Obama love-in and some 10,00 protesters milling about.
That’s 45,000 “Woohoo!” party revelers . Add in the speakers, security personnel and count how many average joes are going to be there.
It’s going to be the biggest Show on Earth for the half white-half black, no birth certificate but all-Muslim recycled Man of the Century.
Meanwhile, ain’t it just a little ironic that “the prettiest sound on earth at sunset” is about to be totally drowned out by carny calls like “Step Right Up, Folks, and see the Bearded Lady!”
