Muslims hold prayers outside US Capitol
Fri Sep 25, 4:30 pm ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) – More than a thousand Muslim men and women gathered Friday outside the US Capitol to hold a prayer meeting and demonstrate against prejudice against Islam.
With men on one side, and women on the other, the crowd prayed on lawns outside the building in an event organized by the Dar-ul-Islam Elisabeth mosque, in northeastern New Jersey.
[Flynn’s editorial: While briefly watching the cable news that day, I felt peace when mostly Muslim men (of course) were praying outside the US Capitol. I saw unity here, except I would have preferred to see the WOMEN and CHILDREN present!
There was something familiar about white-washed walls of Mosque, no images of God (or their Allah) and long robes (or clothing) as wore by people of Muslim faith. It pleases me to see simplicity in monotone colors. But colors, texture and various designs are always a refreshing welcome (as part of CHANGE)!
I too give them my blessings.]

On a side note, I recall listening to an author of Muslim faith on our local radio station 560am one early morning en route to attend morning mass at 08:00am. She called in and spoke to Lee Rogers at that time. She explained VERY clearly and very intellectually that the Muslims believe that their faith is the only one.
I believe this is why there will always a war between the Jews and Muslims. It’s sadden me to know that religious organizations continue to divide the human spirits from truly uniting.

On another side note, I have been thinking and blessing Mecca (with my right hand) for the past few days. For, you see, my computer workstation upstairs faces the general direction to the Pacific Ocean, which is westward. This was after viewing a show a few days ago on History Channel of how the direction of Muslim pilgrims walking around and around Mecca affected the ‘positive flow’ of earth and heaven connection (as directed by Allah).
This is by no means coincidental between my thoughts and prayers for the Muslim’s peace of mind and their public appearance in Washington D.C. that day! But it’s an eerily synchronous event nonetheless.
