New England, USA — January 17, 2015 … The above mosque is not in Iraq, Syria, Turkey or Iran. But one would have wished it was.
The speaker was Dr. Saud Anwar, mayor of South Windsor, Connecticut.
Dr. Anwar is respected for saving lives.
Saud Anwar is a physician who specializes in Lung Diseases and Critical Care Medicine. Currently, he serves as Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine of Manchester Memorial and Rockville General Hospitals.
Dr. Anwar is involved in humanitarian and peace initiatives nationally and internationally. He is frequently invited to consult for the US government and has organized medical missions for disaster relief.
Anwar is very well respected for his extensive humanitarian work in Haiti.
When not performing surgery, the Yale trained medical doctor, an expert on international affairs, is frequently invited to appear on national and international television and radio including CNN, NBC, Fox and Voice of America.
“The Koran teaches us to help our neighbors,” Anwar tells about 100 Muslim immigrants weighing each and every word he says.
“The Koran states both Muslim and non-Muslim neighbors. Our holy Koran makes no differentiation.”
Anwar continues: “When we address social issues, we are taught by the Koran to use our voices, our hand and or our heart. When the Koran states “our hand” it is not advocating a hand of violence. It is directly commanding to give food to those who hunger, clothes to those who are cold and to build homes for those who are homeless.
Those we hear about almost daily using their hands to hurt other people are perverting our religion.
No where has our Prophet Muhammad commanded us to hurt or attack our neighbors in his name. To kill innocent people and shout out Allah Akbar is not any part of our religion.
These people are distorting Islam in the worst possible way and making all Muslims appear evil.”
Anwar smiles as he looks at those sitting on the carpets before him.
“As immigrants to the United States, France, England, Russia, Sweden or Canada, any where in the West, you are responsible for integrating into that society and building that society.
Do not continue watching television from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran or Syria. In the US watch US television, learn and speak English.
Get to know your local community and defend it. Build it. And if anyone ever tells you different, beware.
Beware that they do not speak the words of Muhammad. They speak evil and are not part of us.”
“I say this with particular emphasis to those who are young among us. The Internet is a dangerous place. It is filled with seductive voices and images demanding that you harm our neighbors.
Muslims, Jews and Christians are our neighbors.
We must build with them, not harm them.”
Anwar concludes: “Mohammed made it very clear in the Koran that Muslims and six tribes of Jews were responsible for building and defending Medina.
Remember this and remember always that we are a people of peace. We do not attack others.
We offer food, water, shelter to the stranger. This is our beloved Allah.
This is the Islam we embrace.”
Believe none of their Taqqyin Lies....reminds me of an old Eagles song....
“Remember this and remember always that we are a people of peace. We do not attack others. We offer food, water, shelter to the stranger. This is our beloved Allah. This is the Islam we embrace.”
Hey Anwar, can you spell Taqiyya?
That doesn,t sound like the Wahabbist Islam exported by Saudi Arabia, nor whatever the furrin, Mullahs in Iran preach. Sounds like a trick.
....”Those we hear about almost daily using their hands to hurt other people are perverting our religion.
No where has our Prophet Muhammad commanded us to hurt or attack our neighbors in his name. To kill innocent people and shout out Allah Akbar is not any part of our religion.
These people are distorting Islam in the worst possible way and making all Muslims appear evil.”.....
That’s not true...what they are doing IS Islam. The Koran teaches them so and he’s a fool for not knowing his own book...which he likely doesn’t.
(”No political system or material power should put hindrances in the way of preaching Islam. If someone does this, then it is the duty of Islam to fight him until either he is killed or until he declares his submission.”...... (Excerpted from Milestones by Sayid Qutb, theorist for the Muslim Brotherhood)
He needs to be preaching to the Muslim Brotherhood...not to us.
I will also say that you can be certain if the Caliphat was to overtake any so called Moderate Muslims country...the majority will go along...they will not oppose it.
Look at iraq and Syria and others.....how many left their posts...how many ran and submitted...once the head chopping began they all submitted....
It will be that here if they ever rise up to do so.
This is exactly what is needed, and precisely what everyone faults the moslem community for NOT doing. Then when they do it, people scream taquiya and lies.
If that is the reception they get from us, it “proves” everything the radical elements say and gives them ZERO reason to stand up against the Jihadis. Making it ok for mosques and prominent moslems to tell immigrants to forget the violence and the old country crap is what will eventually isolate the radials. Like it or not, this is an important part of ending the jihadi crap.
Catholic Poland repels the Islamic invasion of Europe, A.D. 1672-1683
Dr. Saud Anwar is one, very brave Muslim.
We need more people like this!
This is a well educated man who has realized his potential in the freedom of the West. If he had remained in his Islamic country, he would have hidden his views, never developed them and would have also had a limited personal and professional life. The reality is that most Muslim migrants to the West are fervent, poorly educated and destitute. So far most are not assimilating as those that promoted the joys of “multiculturalism” projected. Their children remain poor, alienated as Obama famously quipped tend to cling to their guns and religion. They are very susceptible to the siren call of the Wahhabi and will be a destabilizing force in the West for a very long time. Historians will write that the election of left wing governments in the West in the latter half of the 20th century permantly destabilized Western culture. Those governments altered immigration laws and embraced the corrosive fraud of “multiculturalism”. By the time the people realized the damage being done, it was too late to alter the historical trends.
Well stated. Thank you. El cisi, prez of Egypt has also spoken similarly. Just saw Judge Janine do a segment on that with John Bolton.
“The Internet is a dangerous place. It is filled with seductive voices ... “.
And it’s all algore’s fault.
If you pick up the Quran....verse by verse....the majority of the verses suggest, mandate, prescribe, or threaten violence. The purpose of the Triology (the documents that a Muslim must live his life by) is to ensure that each member lives his life like Muhammad (the ultimate dedication to your religion). To suggest absolutely no violence, means you have given up your dedication and chief mission in life.
Bogus. Unless you edited the violent themes out of the Quran....that’s the only way to progress to something else. And we know that will never happen.
NOW we will get all these "moderate" muslim stories, IMO, just to set us back down again in our comfy chairs
“Ending the jihadist crap,,,,,,,,,,Will not happen until the return of Christ, He will have the last word. Even so come quickly.......
No, the Muslims murdering people all over the world ARE Orthodox Muslims. The Muslims who believe in healing, tolerance, unity, nonviolence are the Radical Muslims- going against the basic teaching of their Profit.
In other words, “You’re being too obvious.”
The only reason for welcoming guests, I fear, is to check whether they can pull an Hansel and Gretel or if the guest is a thug to whom they must give their youngest daughter or be sodomized themselves.
They need to repudiate Shariah, ie. A final Fatwah against Shariah and armed religious terror police. That would mean changing Saudi Arabia’s own constitution, if they have any.
And if the Saudi have none, then they need to build a constitution, and that final fatwah is enforced through the second amendment type resolution.
