Hatred in the Heartland

As reported last week at FrontPage by Patrick Poole, “Islamic Hatred in the Heartland,” the Dayton, Ohio-based Masjid at-Taqwa held a fundraising event on the campus of Sinclair Community College featuring international hate sheikh Khalid Yasin. The mosque’s fundraiser managed to draw over 275 people to an auditorium that seats about 300. American Congress for Truth-Dayton chapter president Ruth Quast and I attended the event to see exactly what message our Muslim neighbors were bringing into our community. .... Yasin represents Islam as the “learned scholar”, with an elitist air that comes across in his lectures. He was dressed in what could be described as a uniform, apparently the type worn by those in a state of Jihad. He sports a henna-dyed beard, a practice in imitation of Mohammad and later adopted by the caliphs.

Listening to Yasin speak it is obvious that he has great yearning is to be the Caliph of the “United States of Islam” the ultimate goal of his system of Islamic community building. His love of preeminence was evident when he said, “I am not going to take for granted that a Muslim immigrant or a Muslim who is from the inner city that they understand that we should see ourselves as the greater global community” – inferring that he was in the position to grasp such a global vision. .... Topics that came up during the program were quite different than in the interview. No amount of speedwriting could keep up with rhetoric like “Islam has never destroyed anyone’s culture except those that are subversive to the order of God.”

Or this apparent anti-immigrant comment directed towards the immigrant Muslims in the audience: “If any immigrant Muslim thinks you have a right to be a leader in my country – you are a conspirator.”
