A Democratic National Convention moderator omitted sacred words from the Pledge of Allegiance during a panel discussion Tuesday: \u201cunder God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Muslim Delegates Assembly, the video of the livestreamed event shows A.J. Durani led the pledge but left out an important part, saying, \u201cI pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.\u201d . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnder God\u201d was added largely in response to the Cold War era\u2019s threats of communism and the ideas of Marxist-Leninist countries. Ironically, many leaders of the Democratic Party are once again advocating Marxism through revisionist history and the Black Lives Matter organization.
