What the media won’t tell you about the father whose two daughters were slain in Chapel Hill... Mohammed Abu Salha, father of two shooting victims is a leader in the mosque that hosted a pro-ISIS cleric and was raided for plot to murder U.S. Marines.

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...

Part of DHS’s Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), it has been in effect since 2005. To...

Extremist Muslims are recruiting willing American blacks for violent jihad against their own fellow citizens. Fired food plant employee, Alton Nolen, a black Muslim, beheaded Colleen Hufford and stabbed another woman last week in Moore, Oklahoma, before he was shot and wounded by the company’s chief operating officer. Nolan reportedly attended a mosque headed by Suhaib Webb, an imam with ties to former al-Qaida mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki. Webb had been the leader of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City. Amazingly, Webb is head of the sister organization of the mosque attended by Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev....

After 9/11, Mosques Popping Up Across America By Julio Severo Does Islamic terror bring mosque growth? The fact is that after the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks, many new mosques are popping up across the United States, and this growth defies logic and contrasts with the church growth movement, which had not connection to terror. Virginia Beach, the famous headquarters of Christian Broadcasting Network and its equally famous “The 700 Club,” is now poised for its first mosque, the Crescent Community Center. Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center In neighboring Maryland, the government of Turkey is building a $100 million mega...

Yesterday afternoon on Fox’s The Five, co-host Bob Beckel suggested that if it were up to him, there would be a temporary moratorium on new mosques built in the United States until we could verify who is or is not involved in terrorist activities. Beckel’s comments came in reaction to a story about an Islamic militant group called Boko Haram, which is suspected of having killed dozens of children at a school in Nigeria in a gruesome fashion this past weekend. “These guys are murderers,” Beckel asserted. “They’re terrorists. And if this is what the prophet told you to do,...

<p>Visit Globalinfidel.tv.</p> <p>Why is it such a big deal that a Muslim community is simply trying to build a house of worship?</p> <p>Let’s start with a little math.  Murfreesboro, TN has just over 100,000 residents.  According to estimates provided by the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, there are 200 to 300 Muslim families living in the area.  When they announced their plans to build a 53,000 square foot mega mosque, a lot of questions came up.  One subject of concern was why they needed such a huge compound for so few families.  What is particularly disconcerting is that, according to their own documents (attached 2009 annual report) the ICM only has 45 active paying member families.  Naturally this begs another question – who is paying for this massive compound?</p>

The number of mosques in the United States has increased 74 percent in ten years according to a study released by the Hartford Institute for Religious Research. In 2000, theU.S.reported 1209 places of worship for Muslims. In 2010, that number has risen to 2106. In 1990, the number stood at approximately 700.

This 74 percent growth has occurred in the years following the deadliest warring attack on American...
