Trump Pushing Islam: Muslim Prays Blessing Over Republican Convention and Donald Trump
At the close of Tuesday’s Republican National Convention session in Cleveland, Sajid Tarar, founder of a group called “American Muslims for Trump” prayed for Allah to bless Donald Trump.
“Oh my G-d!” Tarar exclaimed, using G-d’s name in a way that many Christians consider to be blasphemous. “I can smell the success in the air. I can feel the change. I see the spirit.”
…
Quoting the Quran, he added, “The prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, said that we all have a piece of flesh in our bodies. If it is good, our whole is good. If it is not, the whole body is spoiled. It was written in Bukhari. From this, we can infer the role of our leader as a representative of the United States of America, the values respected by our leader, must reflect the values that our forefathers set in stone at inception. We can only hope for such a leader in hopes that greatness will soon follow. And once again, G-d bless America. G-d bless you. G-d bless Donald Trump, and let’s pray to get our country back.”
Radio host Steve Deace had a pointed response to the prayer:
Clearly the GOP has turned a corner here, with the Trump campaign looking outside of the Judeo-Christian faiths and traditions for a spiritual blessing. “Two Corinthians Trump,” who claims to be some kind of Bible scholar (he famously said “nobody reads the Bible more than me”) is now pushing Islam on the American people (the good kind, of course).
