NYC Muslims grapple with surveillance after imam's killing

At an emotional funeral service for a New York City imam and his assistant who were gunned down on a Queens street, one friend of the victims took the microphone and demanded that the city install security cameras outside mosques citywide to help protect Muslims from harassment or violence.

“Each street corner should have security cameras around our places of worship,” said Anwar Hussein Khan, a teacher.

Muslim activists and civil liberties groups here have spent years opposing police surveillance of mosques. …

Deal with it! We should be monitoring most the mosques already. Can they guess what has caused this to happen?
No, not racism.

Did they apologize to Trump?

They certainly falsely blamed Trump and his supporters for this murder.

Yeah. After thousands of Infidels have been murdered by the savages there is finally a supposed "hate crime", backlash murder and it's off the radar in days.

Did hussein even blame Christians or Trump yet?

Nothing funny about it. We jumped right in within minutes with “I AM TRUMP” and “MUSLIMS GO HOME”.

When the MSM realized we were not only willing but EAGER to go there they, for the first time, looked down the road to see just where this led and they backed the hell of right smartly!

If they allowed surveillance cameras around mosques it would be almost impossible for Moslems to vandalize their own mosques and then claim Islamophobia. So, no surveillance around mosques.

A hispanic man killed the imam due to a feud between the Muslim and Hispanic community.
The issue is Muslims’ treatment of everyone else. Their attitude right now is “don’t treat us bad because we act bad, you racists!”
When a quarter of the youth support suicide bombings and 3/4 support tenets of Shariah law like outlawing criticism of Islam and homosexuality, yes, there’s conflict.

moslems love to piss and moan; if the city installed cameras outside mosques, they’d be complaining about that.

F ‘em.
