Well, this is positive. Seems CAIR wasn't invited to the White House Iftar dinner the other night, but Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren and "a group of Jewish rabbis" were, bwahahaha. (They must have been some of those Rabbis who have agreed to hock Obamacare from the pulpit.) This is rich: White House Iftar, Muslim Leaders Absent:
...while the words of praise flowed, absence of Muslim community leaders was sorely noted during the event.
Leaders from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest grassroots American Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, did not attend the Ramadan iftar for not receiving invitations. [Love that "for not receiving invitations" bit. -MS]
CAIR is not alone Other Muslim organizations were also not invited to the White House iftar.
Surprising, while Muslim leaders were absent, Israel's ambassador in Washington and a group of Jewish rabbis were among the guests.
Muslim leaders warned that not inviting them signals a continuation of the policies of former president George W. Bush, who used to shun many Muslim groups...
