Chanting “burn, baby, burn,” a group of Muslims in Dearborn lit ablaze Friday night effigies of Pastor Terry Jones of Florida and Osama bin Laden in a protest against religious extremism.
Led by Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni, the group burned a pair of dolls holding hands that were dressed up to represent Jones, the Florida pastor who has plans to burn Qurans, and of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist behind the Sept. 11 attacks.
“They both represent the murder, killing, and war against America,” Moughni said before the blaze was lit with a Bic lighter. As the flames flickered on his lawn in Dearborn, Moughni added: “Pastor Terry Jones. Osama bin Laden. It’s getting hot in here, it’s getting real hot.”
Moughni told the Free Press he wanted to burn both of them on the lawn at his home on the eve of the Sept. 11 anniversary because he said both represent religious extremists who should “burn in hell.”
“We’re watching as the holiest book in Islam is under attack,” Moughni said. “This is to show we’re against what pastor Jones is doing. We’re not going to be quiet. We’re going to speak up.”
Too bad Muslims don’t speak up against Islamic terrorism and sharia law, even when Muslims are most often the victims.
The burning of effigies is usually seen in Muslim countries, where protesters will burn representations of people they are angry with. The Dearborn burning took place in a fire pit on Moughni’s lawn. As the flames lit up the night sky, some took pictures and others clapped. Several U.S. flags were on display near the fire as a show of patriotism.
“When you try to burn the Koran … you are telling the Muslims around the world, this war is a war” against Islam, Moughi said.
It’s the new bogus racism canard. Anything anyone does that Muslims don’t agree with is a war starter. But Muslims kill non-Muslims with impunity, just as Muhammid did, and it’s not war.
“This is a message we wanted to send to America and … to all the Muslims in the world: America is on the side of Islam. And Islam is on the side of America. Our enemies are Osama bin Laden and Pastor Terry Jones.”
What’s worse, planning to burn a book, or actually burning the likeness of a human being? A fellow American at that?
Hanging and burning effigies of people you disagree with is what perpetually raging Muslims do in Islamic countries (and the UK) where infidels are hated.
Keep in mind too, Moughni is supposed to be a “moderate Muslim.” He’s disagreed with CAIR and we posted on him supposedly receiving death threats from Muslims for his positions. It’s pretty clear that he’s not the mythological moderate he’s made out to be. His actions may play well with the media and Muslim world, but he definitely doesn’t represent or speak for any Americans other than himself. While many Americans disagreed with Jones, none threatened to kill him or symbolically killed him.
PS: Where were Obama and Holder on the symbolic lynching and murder of an American citizen who had the right to do what he wanted? It’s more likely that Obama will order a drone hit on Jones rather than condemn the Muslim who burned Jones likeness at the Islamic alter
