I’d file this under “something that has nothing to do with anything”; the Hartford Connecticut City Council has decided that the way to beat the people who oppose the Islamic Center near Ground Zero is to begin each meeting with a Muslim prayer. (MSNBC<\/a> link)<\/p>\n

“One of the goals of the Council is to give a voice to the many diverse peoples of the City, which is especially important given the recent anti-Islam events throughout the country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s pretty stupid, if you ask me. Since when is the purpose of government to “give a voice to…diverse people”? I really don’t care if it’s a Muslim prayer or a Buddhist chant…but don’t cloak your purpose in language to make you seem more tolerant and intelligent than the rest of us.<\/p>\n

[City Councilman Luis ] Cotto said that his goal in having an Islamic prayer was to speak out against what he called “the current wave of Islamophobia” in this country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, that film student who attacked a cab driver in NYC? How is that a “wave”, Lou?<\/p>\n

It wouldn’t even matter except that they’ve probably never opened a city council meeting with a Christian prayer and never will, since Christians don’t fit in their mold of “diverse peoples”. The article doesn’t mention whether they have opened any of their meetings with Christian prayers. I’m just taking a shot in the dark here.<\/p>\n

Oh! My mistake – according to the Courant<\/a>, they plan to have a saxophonist play “Amazing Grace” Well, that’s different :eyeroll:<\/p>\n

The Hartford City Council is a bunch of kiss-ass liberals who are only doing this so they get bombed last.<\/p>\n
