Were you aware of this, Gabby? That the DNC invited Siraj Wahhaj to kick of their convention with an opening prayer? You ask who this person is?
Siraj Wahhaj is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six Americans, and he is on record as saying it is the duty of all Muslims to replace the US Constitution with Sharia law. I don't think being aware of how the democrats are courting radical/extremists is "grasping at straws".
