It looks like there is a new blog on WordPress, with a name many readers will relate to, Not My Prophet. Welcome. This article was cross-posted at NewsReal, Lying, Hitting Your Wife and Jihad: Just Another Day in a Moderate Mosque:
In the small city of Sammamish, WA is an Islamic worship center that most people wouldn’t even recognize as a mosque or anything other than a residential house in just another normal neighborhood. But what is being taught about Islam at the Sammamish Mosque should be brought to attention, not just in this small community, but on the national stage.
When I decided to research this mosque I was ready to find the ordinary and mundane, although as a self-taught student of Islam, I was prepared to find some things of concern and perhaps the truly hair-curling. What I discovered was a bit of both: a very ordinary and normal life of faith surrounding the dusty core of a 7th century barbarism, dusted off and polished up for a new life in the Pacific Northwest. This strange mix was all captured on camera and helpfully uploaded to the internet by Imam Wassim Fayed, a Sammamish Mosque trustee who holds regular workshops at the center. He is also one of the founding members of the Sammamish Muslim Association.
Wassim Fayed is a manager at Microsoft. See http://www.linkedin.com/pub/wassim-fayed/14/b4b/640 I wonder if Microsoft is aware that they have an employee who publicly endorses spousal abuse.
ReplyDeleteThe full video shows another speaker, Alaa Badr, who is also a Microsoft employee.
The same clip was also featured on a Canadian TV show. See 12:00 to 13:13 at http://youtu.be/14vv_wCp96A.
The hit-your-wife part of the video is available at 8:00 at http://www.popmodal.com/video/7382/US-Imam-Allah-is-clear-you-can-hit-your-wife
ReplyDeleteThe URL listed in the previous comment for the TV show (Ezra Levant's show) no longer works. But you can see it at 12:00 at http://youtu.be/qYfI0i-8fC0
