Muslims just fitting in…

A few years ago, Muslims won a lawsuit that entitled them to amplify the call to prayer five times a day from loudspeakers atop mosques in Dearborn. “You can hear it loudly a half-mile to a mile away,” Saieg reports.
“They have many mosques in Dearborn, and everybody in the community warned us not to go there after the Friday prayers,” he says. “They will chase you away; they will kill you,” he recalls being told.
Undaunted, Pastor Saieg set out. “I felt we had to go there. After all, we’re not in Saudi Arabia; we’re in the United States.”
When he went to the mosque in Dearborn, he was amazed to discover it wasn’t only the call to prayer blaring over large speakers, but an entire two-hour ‘khotba’ or sermon. “The imam was preaching about jihad in America. He said, ‘Don’t be linked with the infidels; don’t be friends with them; don’t learn from them.’”
“It was a very moving, powerful speech, filled with hatred,” he laments. “This is the kind of speech that could lead to the destruction of America.”
