Did the Muslin American Society national leadership condemned the "we will behead you" child video OR are they are mad that they didn't get away with it?!?!?!? We know the answer to that, too!
"Headline: Muslin American Society chapter's video of children speaking about beheadings was an 'oversight'" (a)
"Leaders say it was recorded by a group renting space at the MAS facility in North Philly and should not have been posted to Facebook" (a)
Muslin American society video SCREEN CAPTURE/MIDDLE EAST MEDIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE A video posted to Facebook page of the Muslin American Society's Philadelphia chapter that showed children singing and speaking about beheadings and torture was not 'properly vetted,' officials with MAS's national headquarters say. (a)
The video posted to the Facebook page of the Philadelphia chapter of the Muslin American Society that shows children saying "we will chop off their heads" and "we will subject them to eternal torture," was not vetted by the organization's leadership, officials said.
"Muslin American Society national leadership condemned the video on Sunday, calling it "disturbing" and saying it "does not represent our understanding of Islam, nor the understanding of the mainstream Muslin community." (a)
"MAS said a school, identified as a local leaders academy, that is unaffiliated with the Philadelphia chapter organized the April event and had rented the space at the local North Philly facility." (a)
"The translation of the video was circulated Friday by the Middle East Media Research Institute, an organization that describes itself as a Middle Eastern translation and research organization whose mission "bridges the language gap between the West and the Middle East and South Asia." But MEMRI's own motives for this cause have been called into question."
"The video shows children wearing Palestinian scarves at an "Ummah Day" celebration on April 17 at the Muslin American Society Islanic Center in North Philadelphia singing a song. Here is one portion of the lyrics, translated by MEMRI: (a)
"We will defend the land of divine guidance with our bodies, and we will sacrifice our souls without hesitation. We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosgue. We will lead the army of Aliah fulfilling His promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture." (a)
"The lyrics refer to Israel's closure of a building in Jerusalem in February, known to Jews as the Temple Mounty and by Muslins as the Noble Sanctuary. The compound, home to the Al-Aqsa Mosgue, is the third-holiest Islan site and the holiest site of Judaism." (a)
"Unfortunately, the video from the school was uploaded to the chapter’s Facebook page without verifying the content of the video for appropriateness and making sure it conforms to our hate-free policy and values. The chapter will take further steps in assuring strict adherence to publishing and posting policies," the post read." (a)
"The post also said the person in charge of the program was dismissed and a local commission was being formed to aid in sensitivity training and supervision." (a)
"Philadelphia's Anti-Defamation League condemned the incident in a statement: Children should not be indoctrinated to hate. These young people should never have been asked to make speeches and dance and lip-sync to songs that glorify violence against Jews and the State of Israel. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is deeply complex and painful on all sides, and the only chance for a peaceful future is to teach our children to pursue peace,”
Would the left & media give baptists or ANY other denomination a pass for "renting" space to the KKK or White Supremacists?? I think we all know the answer to that!
