It appears that now, according to CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), that Christians cannot even assemble now at a prayer summit without it being an attack on Islam in America. A prayer summit has been scheduled in Detroit where a number of Christian pastors plan to lead prayers for the healing and recovery of the downtrodden city of Detroit, Michigan - these Christian leaders want to gather and pray for better times for the people of Detroit. But the leader of CAIR in Michigan simply can't accept that - apparently, according to this islamist, Christians gathering in one place can mean only one thing...a hate fest against his "religion."
From the article at UPI:
Leaders of a national Muslim civil rights group have warned mosques in Michigan to beef up security in light of a Christian prayer summit next week.
Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Michigan,believes a Christian prayer summit, "The Call," at Ford Field Tuesday will promote anti-Muslim sentiments, The Detroit News reported.
"There's a bigger force or movement behind this prayer summit and how they're literally demonizing Muslims," he said.
Metro Detroit pastors involved in the event insist the gathering is meant to help Detroit, not attack Muslims.
"I don't know anything about that," said Bishop Edgar Vann of Second Ebenezer Church. "People are coming here to pray for our city and that's what I'm concerned about. Christians will be praying, but it's open to anyone."
We now see more and more of the blatant tactics of CAIR and other Muslim organizations - Christians need to be restricted from any public assembly but yet, Muslims, having the "special" status that they require in America, should be free to assemble any time, any place in this country.
This is just another example of throwing the "islamophobic" label at EVERYTHING so that Americans will eventually shy away from any display of their own faith. This is a form of islamic terror - the same "soft jihad" that tries to invoke control with threats of lawsuits, criminal charges and public attacks in the media.
I'd like to offer some advice to Mr. Walid of CAIR - if Americans assemble to stand up against Islam in our country, you will have NO DOUBT what the aim of that assembly is about...it will NOT be a bunch of pastors with their heads bowed. Believe that.
Mich. mosques warned to tighten security
DETROIT, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Leaders of a national Muslim civil rights group have warned mosques in Michigan to beef up security in light of a Christian prayer summit next week.
Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Michigan,believes a Christian prayer summit, "The Call," at Ford Field Tuesday will promote anti-Muslim sentiments, The Detroit News reported.
"There's a bigger force or movement behind this prayer summit and how they're literally demonizing Muslims," he said.
Metro Detroit pastors involved in the event insist the gathering is meant to help Detroit, not attack Muslims.
"I don't know anything about that," said Bishop Edgar Vann of Second Ebenezer Church. "People are coming here to pray for our city and that's what I'm concerned about. Christians will be praying, but it's open to anyone."
The Call is a 24-hour prayer event aimed toward lifting Detroit out of its "greatest darkness," the event's Web site says. Worshipers will "gather to this city that has become a microcosm of our national crisis -- economic collapse, racial tension, the rising tide of the Islamic movement and the shedding of innocent blood of our children in the streets and our unborn."
Walid is advising local mosques to "maintain security at all entrances and make sure to notify the police immediately if suspicious persons congregate on mosque property."
