Inculcating Islam: Hartford, Connecticut

The Hartford, Connecticut City Council has decided on its own to begin each and every council meeting with Islamic prayers in sympathy with downtrodden and repressed Muslims everywhere because, after all, Islam in general has been such a progressive, understanding, tolerant, accepting and non-violent religion in its entire historical length.

From NBCConnecticut.com:

The (Hartford City) Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local (Muslim) imams to perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of the Council meetings in September.

Though meetings don't regularly begin with any form of prayer, an email from the Common Council called it "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."

The email even referenced the ongoing issue in New York. "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."

Council President rJo Winch called it an important move for the Council. "I feel it is very important that, as a Council, we project a culture of inclusiveness in the City of Hartford. Too often it is our differences that divide us. In my opinion, it is our combination of differences that makes us strong," Winch said.

Let me take one frigging guess: the makeup of the Hartford City Council is predominantly and massively liberal, with Leftist leanings despite the "letter" after their voting ticket. Not such an amazing leap to make.

I submit that these are predominantly ignorant, arrogant, isolated, insular and, truly, undereducated liberals. My guess is that none of them have a son or daughter involved in the military. My guess is that none of them have a son or daughter that is in law enforcement. Few if any of them have any "skin in the game" in terms of currently defending their country. If any have a "military" past it would be during a chunk of peacetime because -- after all -- they wouldn't have been demanded to serve in combat.

The Hartford City Council is here.

You, the Hartford City Council, are such Useful Dupes for Islam.
