The New York City Council opened its Thursday meeting with an invocation praising Allah, recognized in Islam as the supreme deity.
Imam Abdoulazakou Traore of the Darou Salam Islamic Community Inc. led the council in prayer, beginning with an Arabic recitation followed by an English translation that expressed reverence for Allah as the “Lord of the world” and sought guidance for the city’s lawmakers.
The New York City Community Affairs Bureau estimates the Muslim population in the city to be between 800,000 and 1,000,000, with other sources citing numbers as high as 1.4 million. This demographic makes New York home to the largest Muslim population in the country,

I’m not terribly surprised, just PO’d.

Does the NYCC follow the common rule of rotating invocators? Next week it could be a rabbi, but hopefully less provocative.

It always surprises me when a person or a group of people invite the Creator of the Universe to Get Out! and invite another god in instead. That takes Hutzpah, and New York City Council neither knows nor cares. There's the pity.

Isn't the New York City community also home to the largest Jewish population in the country? Jerusalem West?

Evidently, September 11 wasn’t enough for the hell-hole of New York City!

This is exactly what Joey & Barry want - allegance to Islam. A pox on both of them.

Uhm, I believe Commandment I, takes care of this. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. That is not a suggestion it is one of the Big Ten.
It is appalling to me that anyone would give voice to Islam knowing the satisfaction it gives this unhinged fringe to blaspheme Almighty God in a public setting especially in NYC. It makes me question the sanity of the very people who bore such a loss on 9/11. How can you then turn around and give a platform to the people who committed such a heinous act. Seriously, has NYC lost its mind? We will learn to our great sorrow that you cannot give voice to people who support a religion that screams Death to America! Without complete and utter renouncement of that sentiment, they should have lost ALL opportunity to speak publicly. Just do not give them a platform. What do they have to do New Yorkers, kill thousands of you again?!

New York is run by a secular government. The only god New Yorkers worship is government. They care for allah nor more than they care for the Almighty. They have learned nothing from history.

keep importing Muslims and watching them breed like minks and pretty soon we will all be enslaved or dead, just like their book reads.

New York is a dying city for a reason. Let them worship who or what they please, just keep it inside city boundaries.

Biden is worried about the Muslims in America voting block, he should be. In one more generation the Muslim's will have a population large enough to elect a president.

I have to assume this "Council" is volunteering to be Body Shields in GAZA. Your seat on the airplane is booked, your attendance is MANDATORY!

Getting riled up over any article from GWP, whether seemingly positive or negative from the perspective of a normal American, is folly. The only thing missing is a "Boom" in the headline.
