Today I attended a different mosque from my regular mosque for Juma prayers (Friday congregational prayers). What I heard was essentially a rant that almost crossed the line into antisemitism. Criticize actions and statements that violate human rights and dehumanize anyone. Stand up for international law and humanity. Teach your religion but don’t cross into generalizations and targeting an entire group of people. Anger or being upset does not justify it. This is unacceptable. You will be hearing from me. If you repeat this, I will expose you. I think many of the others felt the same from the looks and facial cues. Hate is hate. I don’t care if you are part of my tribe. I will call it out. Govern yourself accordingly.
