Muslims across Minnesota gathered this weekend for one of Islam’s major religious holidays, one rooted in prayer, charity, sacrifice to community — and nothing to do with beheadings or violence.
“This is Islam,” said Makram El-Amin, the imam at Masjid An-Nur mosque in north Minneapolis, where families gathered Saturday for a morning of prayer and socializing. “All Muslims across the world are observing this at the same time. It’s the opposite of a minute group in Syria and Iraq perpetrating crimes in the name of Islam.”
Horrified that Islam is being linked to fanatics, Muslims in Minnesota and across the nation have been working — once again — to set the record straight through public education, social media and community events.
This weekend’s Eid al-Adha festival, for example, commemorates the story of the prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son at God’s command. Yet most people are not aware that Abraham is considered a major prophet in Islam, as is Jesus, say local Muslim leaders.

Oh, OK. I'm good now.
Well, if the Muzzies say it, it must be the truth. LOL!
Yep, it’s all good!
Ask him how he feels about stoning women for being raped.
Democrats will have no problem with this ,well since the Muslim leaders probably got the word from the White House
If Jesus was a “major prophet” in Islam, it’s curious that they ignore everything He said.
al-taqiyaa.
So the same Saudi Muslims who chop hands and heads off for thievery, or execute rape victims for infidelity, or support the Taliban’s destruction of 5000 year old artifacts, says ISIS is giving them a bad name? Just look in the mirror, Bro. Radical Muslims who refuse to assimilate into their host cultures give themselves a bad name every other day. Ask Swedish parents of teenage girls how they feel about that ‘bad name’ Muslim stigma.
Taqiyyah (That’s Muslim for holy bullshit.)
The last three letters in ‘Islam’ stand for Lying And Murdering.
Just ask any Muslim to honestly answer these two questions:
1. What should happen to a Muslim who converts to another religion?
2. What should happen to anyone (Muslim or not) who draws a picture of Mohammad?
Anyone who hasn't seen it should check out the debate between Bill Maher and Charlie Rose on the subject. It's definitely worth the time.
Bill Maher ABSOLUTELY CRUSHES Charlie Rose For Comparing Islam To Christianity
The star-trib has never met a moose slime they couldn’t apologize for.
Yep...
As with Federal Politicians, “ It a’int what you say -— it is what do that is the measure of your character.” applies also to Islamists.
When the Leaders of Islam put an end to ISIS, ISIL, etc., only then will their hollow words have meaning to the Non-Islamic people.
Mainstream Islamic Sunnis don’t regard The Nation of Islam Islamic either but from our Infidel point of view all their similarities outweigh their differences. It would be interesting to see if they view Mormans and other offshoot sects of Christianity as Christian or not.
It is only about 70% of them that give the rest of them a bad name . . .
Muhammad said Jesus never said what the Bible says but put other words in His mouth, like He’s sending Christians who worship Jesus to Hell. It’s not our Jesus.
A great reminder...
All mosques are terrorist social clubs.
CLOSE ALL MOSQUES
mOSLEMS OUT!
