5 Feet of Fury

The difference between a typical prayer service at a Toronto mosque and a KKK meeting?

I’m not forced to pay for Klan members’ welfare cheques, and phony disability for their four wives.

And if I called out the Klan for what they are, I’d be called a hero, not a bigot…

Inside the mosque, I was hoping that in wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the cleric would have the good sense not to speak about non-Muslims as adversaries or enemies, but my hopes were dashed.

Far from condemning the acts of terror, the cleric, speaking in English, thundered that Islam “will become established in the land, over all other religions, although the ‘Disbelievers’ (Jews, Christians, Hindus and Atheists) hate that.”

I could not believe my ears. There was no indignation expressed at the taking of Jews as hostages by a French jihadi that morning.

The imam did ask us Muslims that in reacting to insults we should take the example of Prophet Muhammad himself and follow in his footsteps.

The problem with that suggestion is that while there were indeed times when Prophet Muhammad forgave those who mocked him, there were others when he ordered them killed.

At the end of his “khutba” (sermon), the cleric repeated the ritual praying to Allah to grant Muslims victory over non-Muslims. That prayer is: “O Allah, pour patience upon Muslims, strengthen their feet and give them victory over ‘Qawm -el Kafiroon’ (Non-Muslims).

“O Allah, give victory to our brothers the Muslims, the oppressed, the tyrannized and the ‘Mujahedeen’ (those who fight jihad against non-Muslims)”.

Before you object, know this:

I know for a fact that hundreds of Somalis and other Muslim immigrants in the Toronto area are getting social assistance even though they are not qualified, and that this has been pushed through by local politicians.

Anyone who alerts the police or the Ministry to these abuses is told that no such complaints will ever be investigated, and to keep their mouths shut.
