For Twin Cities Muslims, 9/11 casts shadow on holiday (Grab A Bucket)

The anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks weighs heavily on the minds of Minnesota Muslims as they prepare to celebrate one of the most important holy days of the year.

For weeks they had worried that Monday’s Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, might fall on the 9/11 anniversary. Though the sighting of the moon placed this year’s Eid on Sept. 12, the proximity of a major holiday and a painful anniversary has fueled anxiety and led community leaders and local law enforcement to tighten security measures for Eid celebrations.

“There has been a long internal discussion about this since last year,” said Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). “The overwhelming answer has been that the community should do what they are doing, but there should be extra vigilance.”

CAIR has issued safety guidelines to mosque leaders and community members.

No comment section.

How many Minneapolis muslims have been arrested for providing support to ISIS or actually having gone to the Middle East?

Not to mention just being criminals.

And a lot of it is phony offense. Faux offense.

an analogy, -> black overdrama. ie calling 911 because you can’t get breakfast at McDs anymore. Or they ran out of something. Or they’re closed and the grill is off. Or they think someone looked at them “disrespectful”.

They must not be that poor to be able to afford a flight to Mecca and back for the family.

They all have the latest iPhones too. Only the best for muslims.

Boo hoooo F. these aholes..

Everything is about them.

I care infinitely more about our country and the victims of the 9/11 attacks than about any whiny puling Muzzies.

“Mosque leaders say they are relying heavily on local law enforcement to secure large gathering areas...”

This is rich...does this mean law enforcement can now rely heavily on the mosques to help them with regards to info sharing????

“.......they are actually supposedly Americans just like everyone else.”.....

No way are they “just like anyone else”. Obviously you have never been anywhere around these people.

Moselm: If a muslim kills you, I don't have anything to say about it.

Us: But, that's bad! A muslim is a murderer if (s)he kills people without cause!

Moselm: You're racist for criticizing us!

Us: But, it has happened MANY times in the last four years and you say almost nothing about it. No major public statements denouncing such acts of horror are forthcoming.

Moslem: Criticizing such killings only brings reprisals for muslims and that's wrong. That is what is really imporant.

Us: What? So, what if a self-claimed Bible-based individual killed some muslims?

Moselm: We would close down all Bible-based churches immediately.

“Holiday”

Seriously... a holiday?

Was there a celebration planned?

War on our soil.

Huma and Hillary will continue the invasion.

One day our sons and daughters will face either converting to Islam or civil war. I hope they choose civil war and put every rabid dog in the ground.
