“Jesus hates Muslims”

Extremists Demonstrate Outside Mosque in CT, USA

Al Manar | August 8, 2010

About a dozen right-wing Christians demonstrated Friday outside a Fairfield Avenue mosque in Connecticut shouting anti Muslims slogans and yelling “Islam is a lie.”

“Jesus hates Muslims,” they screamed at worshippers arriving at the Masjid An-Noor mosque to prepare for the holy fasting month of Ramadan which begins next week. One extremist shoved a placard at a group of young children leaving the mosque after prayers and called them “murderers.”

Mustafa Salahuddin, an Ansonia police officer and parishioner at the mosque, calmly watched the protesters from the mosque’s parking area.

“This is unfortunate, but it’s a free country,” he commented on the protest. “But I believe Jesus would have been appalled by this. We revere Jesus the same way they do.”

Flip Benham, of Dallas, Texas, organizer of the protest, was yelling at the worshipers with a bullhorn. “This is a war in America and we are taking it to the mosques around the country,” he said.

Police arrived on the scene to separate the groups, but said no arrests were made.

The demonstrators threatened to take their protests to every mosque in the US and kept on shouting and screaming all through Friday prayers.
