A Polite "Death to Infidels"
Jan 24, 2008
Time and again, Islamic clerics who are asked to deliver convocations and opening prayers for US political gatherings boldly proclaim the superiority of Islam over the assembled infidels. The latest example took place in the Iowa state legislature recently, when Imam Muhammad Khan of the Islamic Center of Des Moines called for “victory over those who disbelieve.”
Why do Americans allow these Islamists in their political halls? It would make as much sense if Jews were to invite Nazis to their synagogues.
Yes, he prayed for victory over the infidels and "Protection from the great Satan" meaning, from the US, in front of the Iowa state legislature.
The article wasn't 100% clear, but it sounds like the treasonous part of the prayer was in Arabic and the rest in English.
It worries me a bit that he ended by saying that he spoke "on behalf of the Muslim community of Des Moines and Iowa," but I would like to think that someone in that community translated for the representative and clued them in.
I hope that immigration is taking a hard look at Imam Muhammad Khan's status and that homeland security is taking a hard look at him and his congregation.

He was only praying for a spiritual victory, you know by doing good works and becoming a better person and stuff.

Pastorius: Oh, how silly of me. I forgot about that cute, cuddly Jihad.
