Joe Kaufman of AAH, has this news from Florida. After calling on Plantation, Florida mayor, Rae Carole Armstrong,
"to disallow CAIR-Florida Executive Director Altaf Ali from participating in an upcoming prayer breakfast sponsored by the Mayor. The event, titled ‘Jerusalem: Symbol of Unity,’ is scheduled to take place on May 1, 2008, at Temple Kol Ami Emanu-El, in Plantation. Ali has been asked to give the invocation."
Within a few hours of the request, Kaufman reports on the quick action taken by the mayors office. "Altaf Ali, has been disinvited from speaking at Plantation Mayor Rae Carole Armstrong’s annual Prayer Breakfast taking place on May 1st. Ali was scheduled to perform the invocation for the event."

Thank God somebody finally had the good sense to keep CAIR from poisoning an event like this!
This is the best news I've heard in an age...
Way to go Mayor Armstrong!
This is great news, finally someone is catching on...
Janice,
I read your links but could not figure out why Ali was invited in the first place...
...for Jews, something equivalent to inviting a Nazi.
I've been searching for the better part of 2 hours for the source of the invitation. It seems CAIR didn't even have it in one of the whine-o-grams.
I'll have to assume it came from the mayor.
