Kentucky government will host first "Muslim Day" at state capitol on January 22.

NTEB: Radical Terror-Supporting Group CAIR Will Be Holding Kentucky’s First-Ever ‘Muslim Day’ To Promote Islam On January 22 In State Capitol Rotunda.

Muslims from all over Kentucky will tour the building on January 22, meet with legislators, pray in the Rotunda, and receive training on how to advocate for issues affecting the Muslim community.

Waheeda Muhammad, chair of the Kentucky chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said one of the goals of the event is to clear up misconceptions about the Islamic faith.

    “One thing that really helps is for people to know a Muslim one-on-one, and that’s part of encouraging Muslims to get out, to be involved in society, because if people know you personally, that’s their image of Islam,” Muhammad told WKU Public Radio.

She says the event will encourage Muslims to get involved in government, including running for office.

Muslim visitors also plan to advocate for certain legislation, including stronger anti-bullying laws.  The group has invited Governor Andy Beshear to meet with them.  Muhammad says Muslim Day at the State Capitol is not government-sanctioned and no taxpayer funds are being used.  She hopes it will become an annual event.

France Elects Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Macron will be the next president of France. IBD:

Macron won by 65.5% to 34.5% according to projected results.
Macron has told his supporters he wanted to "calm people's fears, restore France's confidence, and gather all its people together to face the immense challenges that face us in the future".

Emmanuel Macron

Macron, in his celebratory speech thanking his supporters, said, " I will see to it that once again, the great country of France is steered deeply, irrevocably, into a boiling cauldron of Socialism, the likes of which the world has never seen."

Or something like that.

Emmanuel Macron vs Marine Le Pen For French Presidency

It's Marcon vs Le Pen for France's presidential election. From The Telegraph:

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will fight for the French presidency after the country's two main parties crashed out of the first round for the first time since the founding of the Fifth Republic in 1958.

In a seismic shift in French politics, estimations from partial results put Mr Macron, an independent centrist, top on 24 per cent, with Ms Le Pen, the far-Right Front National leader, just behind on just under 22 per cent.

The Socialist Party's official candidate Benoît Hamon came sixth with a paltry 6.2 per cent of the vote[.]

Ha! Hamon is France's version of Bernie Sanders!

"The French, they love me like they love Jerry Lewis - I tell ya!"

Globalization is over, is Le Pen's vision.  ABC News:

 "The French must take advantage of this historical opportunity offered to them, because what is at stake here is the wild type of globalization endangering our civilization."  

VIVA LE PEN!

From the story link below:

"French far-right National Front presidential candidate Marine Le Pen canceled a meeting on Tuesday with Lebanon's grand mufti, its top cleric for Sunni Muslims, after refusing to wear a headscarf for the encounter."

FANTASTIC!  GOOD FOR HER!

From al-Reuters: Le Pen demurs to Muslim headscarf dictate.

Marine Le Pen

Since when does what one chooses for their clothing enter into any type of Religious Mandate?

The Progressive Liberal Woman's Movement sure has been silent for decades on the "human rights" conditions imposed of women living within the Islamic religion.

Who the fcuk is any religious "leader", Pope, Cleric, Minister - I don't care - to dictate what you must wear before they'll meet with you?



Because someone won't wear what someone wants them to wear because of their religious belief is IMPOSING religion on someone.

I thought the Left was anathema to imposing the slightest religious baseline.

VIVA LE PEN!
