Rant Wraith (thanks to LGF) has found some exceedingly interesting information about the Muslim imam who said a prayer during the Democratic National Convention last night.
He works at Georgetown, "the first American university to hire a full-time Muslim chaplain. He earned a B.A. degree in Islamic Law and Theology from the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. He's a Ph.D. Candidate in Islamic Theology at American Open University, Fall Church, VA."What is the American Open University? The offical site is mostly (and quite conveniently) in Arabic. But this site has the university curriculum from the summer of 2000 as taught in Fresno, CA.
What do they teach you ask? My favorite lesson is titled, Secularism is Shirk in the Lordship of Allah. Here are some high points of the lesson (tauhid or tawhid is the unity of Allah; mushrik and shirk are Islamic terms for polytheism, a grave sin for Muslims - Christians are considered shirk because they "attribute partners to God" through the divinity of Christ and the Trinity; shirk equals unbelief and infidelism; emphasis in bold added):
Whoever calls the people (and/or himself) to the following and obedience of another law other than the shari'a is a disbeliever and a mushrik.
The scholars of Usool-ul-Fiqh have all agreed on the axiom that "None has the right to legislate but Allah."...
That would rule out human documents like, say, the U.S. Constitution, wouldn't it?
Rant Wraith concludes:
What the hell is the DNC thinking? Did they research this guy before they signed him up? Do they even care?
UPDATE: DNC's Imam Testified for Sami al-Arian -- search the page for "Yahya Hendi." (Thanks to Charles at LGF).

Reckon Republicans ought to point this out don't you? LOUD AND CLEAR.

Democrats don't exactly cherish the constitution either, except when it suits them.

Republicans should point this out, but they probably won't because few will dare to do so. They would lose votes and be labeled bigoted, racist, intolerant, and a host of other unpleasant labels that the Democrats would gleefully and cheerfully pass on to their constituents. No, it's up to us to pass on the information.
I doubt that the Democrats care about this man's backgroound. They are trying to show how politically correct and multicultural they are, the party of inclusion. Hmmmm. We include everyone, even terrorists. That may be too rash a statement, but considering that Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, and John Dean were calling themselves moderate last night, anything is possible.

I saw that rant on TV and I thought Muslims were avid believers in separating Church from state.The Imam use those nice code words and had to bring up the subject of the evil USA,if Muslims hate the West so much then they can just leave and stop bitching about how there isn't enough social values based on the Quran.
If I wanted to live in a Islamic state I'd move to Saudi Arabia.It was a bit surprising to see a Muslim at a "Moore" friendly event,Moore is the one that made a point in his FRNHT9/11 that BUSH
didn't intern Muslims and Arabs after the 9/11
attack,BUSH is the idiot for respecting the Constitution and not profiling all middle east looking persons in America.
Maybe after the showing of 9/11 in Texas,Moore could be asked if Kerry should build interment camps for the next attack so Arabs and Muslims can't leave the USA until they prove they're innocent.
Also,the next time a crime is committed by a fat slob around 50 with a beard and ballcap, Moore should be arrested and held until he proves he didn't do it.
Do you really want to live in a world run by
Michael Moore's .

ala-sux,
... "I thought Muslims were avid believers in separating Church from state."
No. They believe the Church IS the State.
