Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: Monday, three men were killed outside the largest of 13 mosques in California’s San Diego County. Such violence is unconscionable and must be condemned.
Even though little is known so far about the teenage shooters, the Islamic Center’s imam, Taha Hassane, nonetheless decried “intolerance.” And New York’s Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani denounced “Islamophobia.”
Before sympathy for the victims and efforts to parlay this crime into a pretext for silencing those of us who legitimately oppose utterly intolerant and intentionally terrifying sharia-supremacism, a little level-setting is in order.*
This mosque has long been associated with the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Two congregants aided the 9/11 hijackers. And Imam Hassane routinely misrepresents sharia and intolerantly inveighs against Israel and its supporters.
Such facts do not justify violence. But they do underscore the need for legally and peacefully opposing metastasizing sharia in America.
*CHQ joins in Mr. Gaffney’s statement, and in his condemnation of violence against one’s political opponents.
