Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Ohio Mosque

On Friday, September 26, the end of a week in which millions of copies of Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West - a rabid anti-Islam, anti-Muslim documentary designed to created fear and hatred - was distributed in swing voting states, a "chemical irritant" was released through a window of the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton. The room where the chemical was released was being used as the Mosque's nursery, where children and babies were kept while their mothers were engaged in evening Ramadhan prayers.

Until now, I haven't heard a word about this in the Zionist controlled main-stream media. Can you imagine the national outcry had this TERRORIST ACT been perpetrated against a Jewish yeshiva or synagogue? No doubt they would have preempted the presidential debates with breaking news bulletins.

Muslim group fasts for homeless

About 200 people are expected to attend the event, which involves fasting from food, drink and negative thoughts and behavior from sunrise to sunset - as is observed during the religious month of Ramadan. An Eid Celebration Dinner will follow in the Memorial Hall Ballroom at 7 p.m. "I want the participants to feel like their fast did not go to waste, they helped out the community just as everyone else did," said Madiha Memon, a sophomore from Marietta and vice president of the organization. "I want them to have an idea of what Ramadan, Islam and Muslims are all about."

Young Saudis Reinvent Ramadan

"Spirituality is not about abstaining from food or performing physical prayers. It's about a closer connection to God. It's about intentions," he said. "Are you doing this to perform a set of movements you are meant to do, or are you doing it for God?"

Religious organizations dedicated to global bridge-building and peacemaking are under fire for cosponsoring an interfaith iftar dinner Thursday evening that includes President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. The Iranian leader is in New York to speak at the United Nations.

It seems the Zionist Christians and Jews, and general Israel Firsters aren't satified with controlling who the American Government can and cannot meet and speak with, now they want to control the relationships of religious groups as well...
