Democratic mayor speaks at birthday celebration for Muhammad



Earlier I noted the town of Binghamton, NY had scheduled a celebration of the birthday of Muhammad. The local media dubbed it "the first-ever celebration of Muhammad's birthday in Binghamton."
.

The celebration occurred in Binghamton over the weekend.

According to this account, the speakers at the Muhammad birthday celebration included Rev. Douglas Taylor, a Unitarian minister and, Matt Ryan, the Democratic mayor of Binghamton. About 400 attended the celebration.
.
You think any of the speakers condemned the violence being done in Muhammad's name?

Last month, the mayor attended the swearing in of Dem superdelegate David Paterson.
