I would encourage her to be more open. Ask the Imam what he meant when he asked Allah to protect fighters around the world. Did he mean in Afghanistan? Does he include those Islamic soldiers and police fighting to preserve freedom in Iraq?
Were it me, and if I didn't get satisfactory answers, I would have tried to have the information published in my local paper, perhaps contacted the FBI.
What she's doing now, whether fact or fiction, will only spread fear. If her allegations are true, why not do something constructive about it?
I swear i read this post on here months ago.Does anyone remember this post a couple of months ago.
zook, zook, zook.
OF COURSE a report like this will strike fear in the hearts of every reader of these words. We may need to have fear spread around a LOT more, to stir people into taking action. It is for sure, the Muslims will not take the necessary steps to purge Islam of the double-talk and the false representations the imams have made of their theological and ideological goals. Everybody is either to become Muslim, or be reduced to the status of "dhimmi", or assume room temperature and provide worm food and compost.
None of the three alternatives appeals to me very much. It is all done with the element of compulsion, and is diametrically opposed to the individual human dignity which is considered one of the high ideals of Western civilization. If Muslims want me to respect Islam, they must first respect my point of view, and allow their belief system to compete openly. This means that Muslims are free to leave the Islamic religion after becoming conversant with the postulates of other beliefs, without fear of retaliation by their former brethren.
Muslims are almost TOO zealous about pursuing their prejudices. Nobody would tolerate a Christian being so bigoted, adamant and dogmatic for ten seconds.
Are you a Muslim practitioner? Not a flame or bait, just curious.

I certainly wouldn't ask the Iman what he meant by so and so. He can spin the answer into anything he wants (or thinks you want to hear). I wouldn't let anyone there know I understood the language. No point to it and not to my advantage. I'd do exactly what she did. Listen, (take notes or tape) and report what was going on. I'd also go to another Mosque and do the same.
