White House Summit on Violent Extremism Opens With Muslim Prayer

A Muslim prayer was recited at the start of the second day of the White House summit on “Countering Violent Extremism,” but no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press.

Imam Sheikh Sa'ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, Minn., recited a “verse from the Quran” following remarks by Obama administration officials and Democratic members of Congress.

“In translation those verses of the Quran mean ‘Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption in the land, it’s as if he has slain mankind entirely, and whoever saves one life, it’s as if he has saved mankind entirely,’” Adam said.

“Mosques serve as (sic) beacon of hope,” Adam said. “While imams’ provide moral compass for the Muslim community in navigating life.”

Adam said “religious leaders” want to have “dialogue” with the U.S. government about “issues of concern” and said that Muslim imams have spoken out against terrorism.

“The peace, safety and security of the United States are of fundamental importance to the Muslim American community, and we oppose any form or shape of violent extremism that threatens peaceful coexistence,” Adam said.

Glad it didn't open with "Allah Akabar" usually that means duck and cover.

12:46 Because he IS A MUSLIM? Who is so freakin stupid at this point that they don't know that?

so you have a whole buch of Muslims in a room. What kind of prayer do you think they should have? Better yet they should have done no prayer since all religions are evil

They conveniently forgot to mention the verses about killing nonbelievers.
I suppose that would have put a damper on all the ace-kissing this incompetent bozo has been doing to muslims.
For such a VERY small percentage of U.S. citizens, he spends HUGE amounts of time telling us how critical they are to our very existence and, despite decades of mass murder, torture, mayhem by muslims, how loving and kind they are...
Who's up next? Tibetan monks?
Answer? Only if they are muslim....
He hasn't invited any Christian groups, but I guess that's because they don't kick in mosque doors and spray the faithful with automatic weapons, or plant explosives in markets, subways, and trains, try to blow up airplanes, or behead hundreds of muslims.
I can see his reasoning.

If Obama is not a Muslim then why was he allowed to use the Koran when sworn in. That tells me he feels he does not have to abide by US traditions and customs. Nobody can tell me if he is a US Citizen. Remember he had to give up US Citizenship to attend school in Indonesia, since they do not allow dual citizenship for attendance to their education system. When did he get his US Citizenship reinstated?
Obama also used scholarships for non US citizens to attend college.
Enough said for now.
