From the Bureau of Indigeneous Muslim Affairs: They are expecting 20,000. It looks like the Democrats are trying to capture the Muslim vote.
BIMA’s purpose in rallying large numbers of Muslims to participate in this event, Jumah at the DNC, is to make the general public aware that the Muslim community is a healthy and vibrant component to the American society. Being that these events will occur between August 31st and September 3rd; which happens to be the Labor Day weekend, we felt that it would be most convenient for Muslims to be able to travel without being inhibited by their work schedules and other obligatory duties. Also it is the best time for Muslims to capture national and international attention.
Just saw this update (9/1): It has been taken off the official Democrat Convention program. But the program still has a variety of other religious groups listed.
