Hate crime fizzle: NJ man who stabbed imam in back during prayers at mosque turns out to be another Muslim
Serif Zorba’s motive is unclear but he was “not a regular member of the mosque’s congregation,” although “he has been seen there before.” The name “Serif” is a variant of “Sharif,” which means “eminent” in Arabic and is used in some areas to refer to people who claim to be descendants of Muhammad.

Viennese mosques promote Islamic separatism and actively obstruct integration of Muslims into Austrian society
Anyone who is surprised by this is naive. The Qur’an teaches that non-Muslims are the “most vile of created beings” (98:6) and that Muslims are the “best of people” (3:110).

UK: Police increase patrols around mosque after it was criticized in report on Manchester jihad bombing
The mosque was justly criticized. The criticism does not mean that it will be violently attacked. Criticism does not always lead to violence.

Sweden: Iranian protesters call for closure of Iran-funded mosque, call it ‘Islamic Republic’s espionage nest’
Swedish authorities likely know this to be true but haven’t dared to act against the mosque for fear of appearing “Islamophobic.” “Iranians In Sweden Call For Closure Of Mosque As ‘Espionage Center,’” Iran International, January 21, 2023: Iranian protesters held a rally outside the Imam Ali Mosque north of Stockholm, demanding the closure of the […]
Germany: Turkish politicians vows to hunt down and ‘destroy’ those who ‘distort and Christianize the Muslim faith’
What do you think Mustafa Acikgöz has in mind regarding those who would “Christianize the Muslim faith”? Would that involve making it less violent, supremacist and unforgiving? If not, what else might he mean? “NRW: Erdogan politician holds hate speech in mosque! ‘Will They Destroy,’” translated from “NRW: Erdogan-Politiker hält Hass-Rede in Moschee! „Werden sie […]
