The Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local imams to perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of the Council meetings in September.
An e-mail from the Common Council called it "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."

I myself could care less if the city council opened with a prayer to the purple flying spaghetti monster.

They dont have to do the same for Islam. They have to do the same for everyone. If the muslims cant pray, the christians cant pray..

The Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local 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."
I am sure the ACLU will get right on this. Pffft.
Can anyone say MOONBATTERY?
