Twenty Thousand Muslims Expected to Attend Democrat Convention in Charlotte
Posted on | August 22, 2012 | 33 Comments
Starting at the end of this month the Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam. 20,000 Muslims are expected to attend according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), the national Muslim American non-profit coordinating the two days of events they claim are non-political. ”Jumah at the DNC” begins August 29 and will start with a Friday afternoon jummah prayer followed by other unnamed programs and events, leading up to the Islamic Regal Banquet. The following day will be an all day Islamic Cultural and Fun Fest which will include discussions on the topics of Islamaphobia, Anti-Shariah, Middle Eastern Crisis, Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act and more.

So the DNC is finally coming out of the closet, eh?
August 22nd, 2012 @ 9:32 am
What is an “indigenous” Muslim? Are they trying to suggest that they are on par with Native Americans?

Maybe it’s a pun on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bema
August 22nd, 2012 @ 9:38 am
Looks like the DNC successfully co-opted another “victim” (of reich wing hatred) group. Is there anyone they won’t try to exploit? Oh thats right, pro-life christians must be destroyed.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 9:45 am
Essentially, Democrats are trying to coopt Muslims in the 21st Century the way they coopted Jews in the 1920’s. However, the problem for Democrats is that many Muslims, especially Arab Muslim immigrants, are virulently anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian. This isn’t a problem for the Democratic Left, but it will become an increasingly problematic issue for the Liberal Ruling Circles over time, as they try to hold on to Jews, their votes, and most important (to liberals) their money.
Smart Jewish liberals like Peter Beinart get this, which is one reason why he is telling Israel to be all accomodationist with the Palestinians: so the Democratic Party in the United States can conduct its straddle with the Jews and the Muslims. It’s complete nonsense, of course.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 9:51 am
The closet was crowded, so the DNC headed down to a rest stop in MN.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 9:58 am
Well they god rid of the bath houses, they had to go somewhere.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 10:03 am
Dear God, please do not let the stupid GOP decide to follow suit with something similar, because you KNOW that dhimmi tools such as Chris Christie and Grover Norquist, and, “conservative” Muslim Brotherhood operate Suhail Khan, will think that having sharia pushing jihad enabling islamic supremacists converge on the Republican convention is a great idea!
August 22nd, 2012 @ 10:16 am
I think “indigenous” must be a typo. The “I” is really for “indignant.” Muslims are always indignant.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 10:25 am
How about 20,000 for a pork bbq cook off? Then again, I do not want to be accused of a hate crime! http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/caller-bacon-animals-anti-muslim-act-17055342#.UDTroo4larI

That’s probably where Obama’s gonna hand out the rifles.

More than you know…
August 22nd, 2012 @ 4:46 pm
Pretty sure they mean American-born Muslims as opposed to immigrants, so yes – but also no.

And all that ammo he’s bought recently.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 5:50 pm
This is so scary…20,000. maybe now all americans will realize there’s a muslim fraud in the whitehouse.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 6:02 pm
Anything to firm up Democrats’ self-image of stalwart defenders of anti-American ideology. Divisionist demagoguery is their favorite tactic and by focusing on Mooslimes, they promote that precious view that elevates one sect over others in their fetid cult of liberalism.
August 22nd, 2012 @ 7:48 pm
From the article: BIMA has stated
they have smaller events planned for the Republican National
Convention, however when reached out to, GOP convention staff said they
have no knowledge of any events planned in or around Tampa at the time.

To attend the DNC convention you must show proof you had an abortion…
Terrorists who wage war against the United States have rights. And they’re invited to the DNC convention. Babies? Not so much….
August 22nd, 2012 @ 10:17 pm
[…] babies who survived abortion procedures just die without any medical assistance.I also wonder how the tens of thousands of Muslims invited to the convention are going to feel about it being turned into a great big abortion-fest. I guess we’ll find […]
August 23rd, 2012 @ 1:06 am
Since when is Beinart “smart”?
August 23rd, 2012 @ 8:47 am
Wow. Some topics just bring the idiots crawling out of the woodwork.
First off, the DNC has nothing to do with BIMA’s effort to grab publicity from the convention. Red State’s claim that the DNC convention will focus on Islam because BIMA is scheduling a parallel event is like claiming the GOP platform will have an anti-war plank because Code Pink will be waving signs outside the convention hall in Tampa.
Second, the BIMA spokesman’s claim of 20,000 attendees is a classic PR stunt that some morons are only too happy to fall for. If BIMA could get 20,000 people to travel cross-country, you might have heard of BIMA before. This is a guy whose official web site is less than 60 days old.
Third, BIMA is making the same publicity bid with the GOP convention. “Muhammad Jaaber, executive director of the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs, said smaller events are planned for the Republican National Convention” (Charlotte Observer) Those are not magic words that turn Romney into a muslim, either.

I’d say that you are clearly ignorant, but since you appear to have a reading comprehension problem, that would probably be pointless.
