Muslim cleric praises Pensacola jihadi, says US is on crusade against Islam, violent jihad is only way to stop it
On the one side, we have Muslim clerics such as Nael Mossran insisting that the US is on a crusade against Islam, and that Muslims must wage jihad against America. On the other side, we have an anxious solicitude for Muslims and desperate care taken not to appear “Islamophobic.” Neither side is listening to the other, just as in the public discourse in general today, almost everyone is talking past everyone else. The rest listen to the commentators who are in their approved group, and only them.
“Rafah Friday Sermon by Sheikh Nael Mossran: Pensacola Shooter Had Acted out of Compassion for the Islamic Nation; The Only Way to Stop America’s Crusade against Islam is Jihad for the Sake of Allah,” MEMRI, December 22, 2019:
Palestinian Sheikh Nael Mossran said in a Friday sermon in Rafah, Gaza that Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the Saudi Air Force officer who shot and killed three U.S. servicemembers at the Pensacola Naval Station in Pensacola, Florida on December 6, 2019, had felt overcome with compassion for the Islamic nation and that the last thing Alshamrani said had been that America is a nation of evil. Sheikh Mossran said: “[People] started to paint this young man as a criminal [and] calling him evil, criminal, and backward… as if America spread flowers in every country its air force has been through.” He said that the United States is waging an organized crusade against Islam that can only be stopped by an organized Islam and by Jihad for the sake of Allah. The sermon was delivered at the Al-Huda Mosque in Rafah and uploaded to Sheikh Mossran’s YouTube channel on December 22, 2019.
