ISLAM ON CAPITOL HILL
Washington, D.C. – On September 25th there will be a national prayer gathering of Muslims on the west front of the U.S. Capitol Building. They are expecting at least 50,000 to attend from mosques all across America. They will gather to pray from 4:00 AM until 7:00 PM. The gathering will take place by the site where U.S. Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981. The organizers say that it was Obama’s inauguration speech in January and his speech broadcast from Egypt in June that gave them the idea for this prayer gathering on Capitol Hill.
They have a website set up for this event. If you never look at another website look at this one, especially the final words: “OUR TIME HAS COME” Just scroll down it is at the very bottom of their opening page.
I clicked on each page it is bad all the way through.

Elizabeth mosque organizes national prayer event in D.C.
New Jersey News
A mosque in Elizabeth, Dar-ul-Islam, is spearheading a national prayer gathering next month in Washington, D.C., that organizers are billing as the first event of its kind — organized prayer for tens of thousands of Muslims outside the U.S. Capitol building.
The event will not include political speeches or placards, just prayer, said Hassen Abdellah, president of Dar-ul-Islam and a main organizer of the event, which is scheduled for Sept. 25
“Most of the time, when Muslims go to Washington, D.C., they go there to protest some type of event,” Abdellah said. “This is not a protest. Never has the Islamic community prayed on Capitol Hill for the soul of America. We’re Americans. We need to change the face of Islam so people don’t feel every Muslim believes America is “the great Satan,’ because we love America.”
A permit from the Capitol Hill police, granted July 28, allows access to the area by the West Front of the Capitol building from 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sept. 25, but the main gathering will occur at 1 p.m., for the Friday prayer service.
Abdellah said he expects 50,000 people to attend, from mosques around the country, though non-Muslims are welcome, too. About 400 people are expected from his own mosque, which is raising money from donors to help pay the cost of the event, expected to surpass $200,000.
The gathering will occur by the site where presidents have been inaugurated since 1981. In fact, it was President Obama’s words at his inauguration in January, and then his speech in Egypt in June, that led Abdellah and an area imam, Abdul Malik, to begin discussing the idea, Abdellah said.

“For the first time in my lifetime,” Abdellah said, “I heard someone of his stature speaking about Islam and Muslims not in an adversarial sense, but in the sense of being welcome and acknowledging we are integral citizens in the society — that we’re gainfully employed, we’re educated.”

“He said he had his hand open to the Islamic world,” he said. “The Islamic world wants to open their hand and shake it.”

The website set up for the event, islamoncapitolhill.com, features a logo with a red, white and blue hand shaking a light brown hand, with the words to the preamble of the Constitution and a page of Arabic text in the background.
Mosque members have been working since July to organize the event, through e-mails, phone calls and visits to mosques and Muslim Students Associations in different states.

Wild Thing’s comment……
WTH is going on our country!!!!!!!!
“peace, beauty and solidarity of Islam will shine through America’s capitol.”
Islam will shine through America’s capitol?????? What about AMERICA shining through our countries capitol!!!!!!
They have done NOTHING in 8 years to combat the terrorists in their ranks or to protest religious oppression in Saudi Arabia.
How long are we supposed to give them to decide which side they are on, terrorism or liberty?
I assume the Muslim in the White House will be joining them. As he rejoices and says Allah Akbar.
I do NOT recognize as my president. I will obey the law, but there is no law that says I have to recognize him as my president.
This makes me so ill and so afraid for our country!!!!!! And freakin angry like I cannot even say.
Think of all the various religions in our country. NOT one other then this POS Islam has been caved into, given special exceptions, and been catered to by our government..
