Obama Gospel Tour Includes Singer who Campaigns Against “the curse of homosexuality”….
From the school district that tried to eliminate Christmas, observes Ramabomb and no longer serves pork or Jell-O. Interesting that the concert was paid for by a mosque, could you imagine a church paying for a concert at an elementary school? One acronym comes to mind, ACLU……
Musician Dawud Wharnsby believes everyone has their own way of making a difference in the world.
"Some people are able to donate their money to good causes; some people are able to donate their time," he said. "For me, music and expression through song has always been the tool that I use."
The French Canadian singer-songwriter, who converted to Islam in 1993, on Thursday brought his musical message of peace to the cafetorium at Columbus Manor Elementary School in Oak Lawn, performing guitar and percussion-based songs for the schoolchildren.
Columbus Manor PTA president Merrit Arnold said the performance, paid for by the Bridgeview mosque, was presented in hopes of easing recent tensions between Muslim and non-Muslim parents about including Ramadan on the school’s list of observed holidays and the elimination of pork products and Jell-O from the lunch menu.
