Oh GOP, you are so predictable.

but I'll keep looking. Here's some info...http://muslimbureau.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/OFFICIAL-DNC-PROTOCOL.pdf

One of the things I rely on DU for is the willingness of its members to help.

However, starting on Friday there are a number of events that are being held because they were approved by the Host Committee of Charlotte. They include many different venues. Check out this site for more info:

Timothy Cardinal Dolan is presenting the primetime "Benediction" at the Republican Convention and offered his Republican-affiliated "Benediction" services to President Obama, who explained they have already scheduled an appropriate representative of the Catholic faith, as well as others.

I can't find who is giving the opening prayer for the DNC, but I'll keep looking.Stay strong....this will cause a firestorm but it was announced in June if memory serves me.

According to Snopes, the claim that a Catholic sky pilot, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, was denied permission to be a religious presence at the Democratic National Convention, while Muslims were invited to offer up "Jumah prayers" (traditional Friday devotions) at the convention, is FALSE -- [link:http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/dncprayer.asp]. It is unfortunate for the Democrats, however, that the Bureau of Indigenous Islamic Affairs (BIMA, a nongovernmental organization), has skedded these prayers, on its own initiative and not with the blessing of the DNC, to occur in Charlotte, NC four days before the Democratic National Convention begins. The event is not sponsored by the DNC, and is not part of its official proceedings, but those motivated to lie about it will say otherwise, and, of course, there will be fools aplenty motivated to accept those lies as truth. My understanding is that a similar event was originally planned to coincide with the Republican National Convention, but I've not been able to confirm or disconfirm that it actually occurred. While I recognize the right of BIMA to pretty much schedule whatever it wants whenever it wants, I am personally angered that that organization has opted to give those opposed to Obama's presidency and its possible extension for four more years, ammo to use against Obama and the political party to which he belongs. As for Cardinal Timothy Dolan, he will in fact perform the same function at the Democratic National Convention, that of delivering the closing benediction, as he is slated to perform at the Republican National Convention.

There isn't a Friday session.

Here ya go...in their own words, not Breitbart's:
