That's what I was getting at with this event not being part of the "convention proper". Could it be sponsored by the DNC as part of events leading up to the actual convention? Who knows.
The problem I have with this is if this is an event sponsored by the DNC, why can't they just come out and say so and promote their involvement? If it's not something the DNC has a hand in, why won't the DNC make a statement to that point? As it stands now, it looks like the DNC is involved in this event somehow and are trying to hide their involvement. If the DNC is trying to hide any involvement, then why?

The DNC really has nothing to do with this...they aren't doing this AT the DNC...they are doing this DURING the DNC...at a seperate location.
But go ahead...attempt to spread your hate and disinformation.

Unless, perhaps, you're saying that the Democrats are ashamed of it in some way, and they should be really proud of it instead. I think that position would become a Republican campaign commercial.

This really is too funny. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are not the United States Government. These people are not the "State" that church needs to be seperated from. The conventions are celebrations for the candidates that will be running in an election. What happens at any convention does not effect policy or law or the running of the country. Its a party to announce a candidate and get the ball rolling for the coming elections. I am a Democrat. I am not the government. I just choose them.

I have read everything and sourced everything to the contrary. Please go back and read through the entire thread. This is a sanctioned event that is being lead by a Radical American born Imam who wishes to replace our govt. with a caliphate. Those are his words in black and white. He was also an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombings as named by the US Attorney in NYC. Please read back through the thread before jumping in.... I'm starting to sound like a broken record...

You are correct, the Party doesn't have to distance themselves from a religion....but it does say something of the Party, and that reflects on who they select as a candidate. So to me, the DNC giving the OK for this Islamic prayer session says something about the Democrat Party, and to their candidate.
edit on 31-8-2012 by MidnightTide because: (no reason given)
Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles who was featured on the June 2009 cover of Los Angeles Magazine with the one-word caption, “Failure,” is the chairman of the upcoming Democratic National Convention. The obvious reason is that the Obama administration, which views ethnic communities as separate fiefdoms to cultivate, is targeting the Latino community. And in the separatist prism through which they view the country, it’s only natural that they should pick Villaraigosa, whose entire career started with an extremist Latino group.
Villaraigosa, whose original name was Tony Villar, entered UCLA as a transfer student from East Los Angeles Community College in 1972. He joined the UCLA chapter of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), and was leading it by 1974. MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as "Mechistas," romanticize Mexican claims to the "lost Territories" of the Southwestern United States -- a Chicano country called Aztlan. As head of the UCLA chapter, Villar called on the Chicano Studies Center (CSC) Director Rudolfo ‘Rudy’ Alvarez to resign from his post, accusing him of “trying to alter the concept behind Chicano studies.”
In 2001, during the 2001 campaign for Los Angeles mayor, Villaraigosa was asked at the final mayoral debate if he still adhered to MEChA’s goals, and refused to give a direct yes or no answer.
As mayor he has used patronage to keep his friends in jobs where they can help him reach power to implement his long-term goals.
Villaraigosa said of Mitt Romney earlier this summer, "I think it's pretty clear that he has amnesia.” But the one who’s pretending to have amnesia is Villaraigosa; his past radicalism is the nasty undercurrent in every move he makes.

While Barack Obama is mentioned by name over 100 times, God is no longer part of the Democratic Party platform, CBN reported Tuesday.
In 2008, the party platform read:
We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.
But that plank has been rewritten to remove the phrase "God-given."
In an article at Breitbart.com, Mike Flynn said that Obama's name is the most mentioned term in the platform.
"The collective voice of millions of Democrats across the country have been reduced to 'whatever Obama says,'" he wrote.
"Out of the 40 pages that make up the platform, Obama is cited by name on 38 of them. He is cited over 200 times throughout the document. The Democrat party's platform is really Obama's campaign manifesto," Flynn added.
