This world is one big game of "Go"-- Black against White, Light against Darkness --and we all have a choice to make: Do we war FOR the Light?
...or against it?
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 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.
