ANOTHER DC GATHERING FOR THE MEDIA TO NOT COVER

RESIZE: AAA

WASHINGTON, DC –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.

Given that the permits have already been issued, it’s kind of interesting that nobody in the press (at least that I’ve been able to find) is telling anyone about this up-coming event. They cover Code Pink when they show up 10 strong, but not a public prayer meeting where 50,000 people are scheduled to show up.

The interesting part to me is the ‘why’ of it not being mentioned. After all, they ignored 9/12 until it was forced upon them, then they dismissed it as substantially irrelevant, and as a result they were burned pretty badly. You’d think they might at least take a minor interest.

Are they afraid there will be associations made between the Muslims and Obama? They certainly have no fear of crying ‘racism’ at any possible potential opportunity, so one has to wonder why they are not jumping at the chance to get out front with this story so they can start the accusations of rabid Islamophobia if anybody even notices.

I guess the bottom line is…. If it doesn’t serve the specific purpose of advancing the Obama agenda of the moment…. It is just not really news.

    The bottom line (of every page) at http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com states: “Our time has come.”

    Your time has come for what ?

    Why not come out and say it in the open ?

    What are you afraid of ?

    It’s obvious that the current administration and especially POTUS will support anything you do, so what’s the problem with letting us in on the party ?

    Gee, I wonder if my comments will be considered a continuation of “coarsening the political dialogue” ?

    Cheers ?

    they left a couple of phone numbers and an email address there. We might have to ask what they meant.

    that the prayer meeting is being held by a group that the press is afraid to even mention. I have a mental image of a guy with a press pass stuck in his hat whistling past the cemetery.

    While the likelihood is this will be a completely peaceful assemblage, I have no doubt that a group of 50,000 Christian Evangelists coming together in the Capitol in any venue other than a church would not only be questioned, but ridiculed.

    The “Our Time Has Come” thing can be interpreted as being either providential or ominous, depending on your outlook. It’s a fair question given that it is not Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or Buddhist sects that have been blowing things up around the world for the past forty years.
