Muslim opening prayer at Iowa Statehouse raises concerns

The prayer asked of "Victory over those who disbelieve," and "Protection from the great Satan"

    To the degree that this fella prayed (IF he prayed) for "victory over those who disbelieve" in a state setting, I find it inappropriate (just as I'd find it inappropriate for a Baptist to pray for "victory over those who disbelieve" in that setting).

    To the degree that he prayed to "defeat the Great Satan" (IF he prayed thusly) and the context was suggesting the Great Satan of America, I'd find that inappropriate.

    From the stories I could read, I'm not entirely sure that's what he was saying in context. So far, all I can find are Rightish Outrage sites quoting incomplete excerpts.

    Regardless, it certainly borders on the inappropriate, seems to me. Although context matters a great deal, obviously.
