A doctor who has lived in Verona for 20 years intends to open an Islamic Center at the site of the former Congregation Beth Ahm synagogue at 56 Grove Avenue.
Dr. Montaser Awad built a career as a specialist in internal medicine and is now a professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. But he believes it is also his duty to create a compelling place of worship for his fellow Muslims and to build bridges between Islam and the community he has come to love. “I am 63 years old,” Dr. Awad says. “I have a position and I have money. I have to spend the remainder of my life helping people.”
“There is too much misunderstanding of Islam here in America,” he adds. “I have to do something active to change this point of view. I have to give a good example to my community.” Dr. Awad had been looking for a location an Islamic Center for more than two years.
Dr. Awad is currently in contract on the property and hopes to open Ebadul Rahman Islamic Center in early May, in time for the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He has retained Hatem Farid, one of the most respected reciters in the Muslim religion and the leader of a mosque Alexandria, Egypt, to be the center’s religious leader, or imam. Dr. Awad is a native of Egypt and was a professor at the University of Alexandria before emigrating to the United States.

“We are going to have to do something about this religious based political system which is focusing on destroying Christianity and the United States as we know it.”
Well, in this instance Christianity isn’t being destroyed, here, it’s Judaism! But I guess on the list of religions to destroy, Judaism is way ahead of Christianity insofar as the Towel Heads are concerned.
You’re right. I chose to mention Christianity because that was the religion of most of the Founding Fathers.
I could have, and should have, included Judaism.
the community he has come to love.

If you love the community, leave Islam.
And leave Islam out of it.
Islam has always been a religion od conquest and slavery, murder and mayhem.
Mad Mo made it so.
Islam is a war plan.
