"Religious-left groups to fast for end to Iraq conflict
Participants include CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in Texas Hamas case"
"Left-wing mainline Protestants are joining Muslims in a political fast aimed at getting the United States to 'end the war' in Iraq, an objective that no U.S. action could quickly accomplish."
Members saying they represented Muslim, Jewish, Roman Catholic, Unitarian and Baptist "traditions" were on hand. They used the ram's horn, or Jewish shofar, to sound a "wake up" call to the nation. They also placed ashes on their foreheads as a sign of repentance, and a bell was tolled to announce the fast, from dawn to sunset on Oct. 8. Plans are for a Muslim "iftar" meal that evening.
