Not so fast...Local Muslim leader denounces bombings
— The Muslim community in the Boston area is denouncing the unspeakable tragedy at the Boston Marathon and praying for the victims of the bombing, saying the men involved, reportedly from Chechnya and possibly linked to Islam, are radicals.
The 37-year-old delivered a powerful sermon to hundreds of Muslims Friday afternoon, saying the Muslim community here in Boston are mourning for the victims of Monday's bombings and praying for Boston.
"We're hurt, were shocked, and we're in pain, and we're mourning for the loss of life from this unspeakable act of violence against all the people of Massachusetts," he said. "It is one of the most unspeakable acts I have witnessed as a Bostonian, and we condemn them. Islam is categorically against this behavior. We're praying for Boston and that its citizens are given justice and hoping (the suspect) is caught without anymore harm or destruction."
He called for an end to the radicalization of Islam and said terrorists who commit such heinous acts in the name of Islam "hijack" the Muslim faith.
"Theses acts are categorically condemned in the Koran and by the Muslim majority," he said. "Muslims have to begin to speak out against these acts more assertively and collaborate with other faiths and local governments so that the true tenets of our faith can be known. In the future, we need to do a better job countering it by educating the public against those who are ignorant and evil and hijack our faith."
Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah Celebrate Boston Terror Attack By Giving Out Candies
Thursday April 18, 2013
Shortly after terror bombs exploded and murdered 3 people and injured over 150 at the Boston Marathon, members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah were reported to be dancing in the streets of Gaza, handing out candies to passerbys.
A number of Palestinians had danced in the street in celebration of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 on the World Trade Center and Washington resulting in the deaths of thousands of Americans.
The head of an Islamic terror organization in Jordan, the Muslim Salafi group, said that says he’s “happy to see the horror in America” after the bombing attacks in Boston.
“American blood isn’t more precious than Muslim blood,” said Mohammad al-Chalabi, who was convicted in an al-Qaeda-linked plot to attack US and other Western diplomatic missions in Jordan in 2003.
“Let the Americans feel the pain we endured by their armies occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and killing our people there,” he said.
