EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (WCCO) — The Muslim community is racing to vaccinate as many people as possible before Ramadan begins next week, which will draw people to worship in-person together.
On Thursday, 200 people received their shots at Masjid Al Tawba in Eden Prairie. Hundreds more got vaccinated at other mosques and will continue to do so through Monday. Ramadan begins early Tuesday.
“People tend to fill the masjid. The masjid tends to host a lot activities and a lot of things that are important for the community,” said Imam Ahmed Abou. “So there’s a little bit of a time crunch for us to get as many Muslims as possible vaccinated to contribute to beating the curve.”
Imam Asad Zaman, executive director of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, petitioned the Minnesota Department of Health and secured 7,600 doses of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine to speed up the immunization process across 18 mosques in St. Cloud, Rochester and the Twin Cities metro area.
Pfizer and Moderna require two shots 21 or 28 days apart, which could mean getting second doses in the middle of the holy month of the Islamic calendar when Muslims observe fasting.

Close the mosques.
horrible way to cull the herd...but whatever
Those of us of other faith traditions, were compelled to curtail our activities due to the virus. Why should any allowance be made for adherents of Islam?
Yep. Sat in my truck in the church parking lot for months listening to the service broadcast on low power FM.
Because like the Demonrats - they hate Judeo Christian/Western culture. They’re here to piss on the USA. They’re special.
Gov has been urging Christian faith leaders to put pressure on congregants as well.
sounds like a super-spreader event...
Soooo, the men should wear a face burqa also.
Thanks for the reminder. We’ll be more careful during the holy month of hate for infidels.
Oh nooooes...save the muzzies...
MN needs to get the bros and sis the shot for the riot season starting up seconds after the trial.
I believe that all muslims have the right to go to the Hajj in Mecca un-vaccinated and march around the moon rock without masks.
How ever will the lily-white leftists react to this?
They can have my vaccine I’ll even throw in an order of bacon.
This is a surefire way to spread covid.
So many people suddenly come down with covid after their shots. This is just going to ensure it spreads rapidly through the muslims.
Got get folks vaccinated before rioting season starts.
Please do, actually.
islam is a scourge upon the Earth and must be expunged.
Finally, some good news. Just kidding sort of.
Sorry, don’t care.
Only Judeo-Christian Americans have to forego religious traditions (in violation of the US Constitution).
