Dearborn imam’s Islamophobia and the “Religion of Breaching the Peace”

Dearborn Imam Hassan Qazwini is an Islamophobe. via Dearborn mosque imam says Quran burning comments misunderstood | Detroit Free Press | freep.com.

During the trial of Pastor Terry Jones, Dearborn’s Police Chief testified in court that the head of the Islamic Center of America told him that for some Muslims burning the Quran was worse than 1,000 deaths. Wayne County prosecutors used that testimony as part of the reason why Jones should not be allowed to protest in front of the Islamic Center because they said it could lead to a breach of the peace.

But the head of that mosque, Imam Hassan Qazwini, said Saturday that his comments were about Muslims living abroad, not in metro Detroit or from his mosque.
“I was not talking about my congregation,” Qazwini said. “I know my congregation. They will not do anything.”

Of course not, so why all the fuss then? Looks like Qazwini, Haddad,  CAIR and others have perfected the good Muslim, bad Muslim routine.

Instead, Qazwini said he was talking about Muslims living in foreign countries who might commit acts of violence that could endanger U.S. troops.

In his testimony, Dearborn Police Chief Haddad said:

“Imam Qazwini … expressed to me concern with the 19- to 30-year-old people. He indicated to me that the burning of the Quran for some Muslims, it’s worse than a thousand deaths. He feared that other people may use this … to exploit their harsh feelings.”
