Mosque where Orlando shooter Omar Mateen attended receiving threats,..

..targeted by group of motorcyclists, Islamic group says
The Fort Pierce-area mosque once attended by Orlando shooter Omar Mateen is receiving threats and members are being intimidated, according to an Islamic group representing the mosque.

Since Mateen killed 49 people in an Orlando nightclub June 12, the mosque has received threatening voice messages and was visited by a motorcycle group Sunday that circled the building yelling at congregants, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"They called it a 'patriotic rally,'" said Wilfredo Ruiz, communications director for the council's Florida chapter.

The messages left at the Fort Pierce Islamic Center had profanity, included racial slurs and alluded to physical harm, Ruiz said. He said people in the Muslim community — specifically those in the Fort Pierce area — are fearful that they might be attacked.

He said the mosque offered to pay law enforcement agencies for extra security, but they've been rebuffed.

"People in the community are afraid," he said. "They are fearful for their safety and community. The imam told me, when I asked what is your main concern, he told me safety and security of his family and he was in tears when he told me that."

A spokesman for the Saint Lucie County Sheriff's Office said the agency has received no calls for service to the mosque since the shooting. In a statement to the Associated Press, Sheriff Ken Mascara said that deputies are patrolling the mosque more frequently but that the agency does not have enough staff to place guards there long term.

"Placing patrol units at specific locations by special request, even if reimbursed by the requesting party, is evaluated based on staffing levels and can at times limit our ability to maintain our mission and appropriately respond to the entire community," Mascara

Now you know how the rest of us feel about your death cult.

He should take his family to the safety of the Mideast.

Seems simple to me.

MAYBE if there were ONE mass protest against extremism in ALL these years by muzzies in the US, some might think differntly about them.

They dont protest, because they agree.

Not surprising, whether true or not. This mosque is a terrorist site and should be under constant surveillance by everyone. Anyone there should be asked to renounce sharia and the evil of Islam.

Here’s a very simple idea, guys, just walk out of your mosque with your hands held high waiving American flags.

It’ll put a stop to it right quick. But yeah, that’s not what you’ll do, instead use the bigot card. Tough cookies.

Go by a mosque and scream Allah Akbar and see how the congregation reacts, fist bumps all over the place. Gee..the poor lambs are being threatened, poor loafs, until they have to jump off of a 101 story building because there is NO hope in being saved, until they know what its like to sit at a restaurant and have some Jihadist scream ALLAH AKBAR as they massacre them these Muslims can spare me the pity party

Well, it's been quite some time since 9/11. There were many opportunities for the "peaceful" Muslims to unconditionally denounce islamic terrorism without the moral equivalencies and "whataboutisms" they're notorious for. Even IF they started doing so at this point they'd have a looooong way to go to gain any credibility.

So long as surveys come back with murder in defense of insults to Allah come back with the vast majority agreeing to it, it will never happen. Why would they turn on their own warriors. Even when you pin them down, they'll say the warrior should have used different methods.

Instead, we here the same 'we denounce this senseless act of terror' platitude. Call us when you eject people from your mosque for watching videos of Iman's saying it is just fine to beat women. That'd be a very nice start.

No need to wonder. It always is. Pandering to the bleeding hearts and snowflakes that, "We're in danger! Help us!

No it means the sheriff does not have the manpower for so much overtime even if paid for by another party. It may also be against department rules.
