The Anti-Defamation League expressed "deep concern" Tuesday over a sermon by a Houston imam that included references to killing Jews, but in a statement, the imam expressed remorse for the language he used. He
said in no way does he support violence. Local Muslim religious leaders also called the sermon problematic, saying that the imam's message does not represent the views or sentiments of the Houston Muslim community. The ADL said that in a sermon posted on YouTube, Imam Raed Saleh Al-Rousan of the Tajweed Institute in west Houston stated:"Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews....

8/30/17 | sff
Can anyone shed light on the facts? Just
heard on local Miami news that Joel Osteen (I am not a fan) was pressured to open the doors of his church because MOSQUES were helping the destitute. I know Osteen's church was flooded for a time, but are there REALLY mosques serving as shelters?

| December 10, 2016 | By Robert Spencer
At the time the fire was set, it garnered much attention as a “hate crime”: “The Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on authorities to investigate a possible bias motive in the case, citing what it called a ‘recent spike in hate incidents targeting mosques nationwide.’” But
it turns out to have been yet another fake hate crime. Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they’re the currency they use to buy power and influence in our victimhood-oriented society, and to deflect attention away...

Islamophobia is everywhere. Literally everywhere. Like
the mosque vandalized in Fresno on Christmas. Fresno police say a lone suspect vandalized the Islamic Cultural Center in Northeast Fresno on Christmas morning. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says it is clear the incident is a hate crime which is why the FBI is also investigating this case. Except the Islamophobic incident turned out to be the work of... Asif Mohammad Khan, who had "posted on social media that Osama bin Laden was the “most inspirational person in his life.†But surely the Islamophobic Houston mosque Christmas fire had to be real.

Another Houston Mosque Set Ablaze

Houston is no stranger to burning mosques. In
fact, there have been numerous mosques deliberately set ablaze in parts of Texas and other states over the past several years. One can only wonder when conservatives or “right-wingers” will be blamed for this latest tragedy without the slightest “smidgen” of proof? What is interesting is that it is clear that at least some people do not accept the official explanation for the recent tragic murders of three Muslims by one Craig Stephens Hicks over what is said to have been an ongoing parking dispute. The guy is obviously a loon who...
