Muslim Anti-Terror Rally Organizer Gets Fatwa: "Your're A Hypocrite & Don't Know What Islam Is"

From Jawa:

The rally, be it small, is a start. I figured there would be backlash.

The Muslim organizer of a rally last week in Detroit against terrorism said he received a death threat over the phone from a man with an Arabic accent upset that he spoke out against other Muslims.
Majed Moughni, a Dearborn attorney who led the rally, told the Free Press he received the violent threat at about 6 a.m. Saturday from a man who said he was from France.

Dearborn Police Det. James Isaacs confirmed Monday that Moughni filed a police report and said the department is investigating the incident.

Moughni said he was able to record part of the call, which he played for the Free Press.

"I want to congratulate you for your place in hellfire, Inshallah," the caller said, using an Arabic phrase that means, God willing. "If you're in front of me, I will shoot you. I will put a bullet in your head. This is the consequence of a hypocrite."

Moughni said he replied:

"Well, this would be a good reason to die."...

At another point in the conversation, the caller told Moughni:

"You're a hypocrite and don't know what Islam is."

Moughni replied:

"We're defending Islam. That's why we were out there."

Apparently, it sucks to be a "moderate Muslim".

Pastorius,

Well the death threats are another thing that doesn't surprise me. I hope the Jihadists aren't able to hurt any of the protesters.

P,
Does that answer your Question; why most muslims prefer not to say anything, not supporting or condemning?

I'm one of the silent majority too.. guilty, as charged.

Abdoos,
Good to see you around here again. You've been gone for awhile.

Are you saying that you would fear reprisal, even violent reprisal, if you spoke up against radicals around you?

P,
Glad the feelings are mutual.

I'm not in the States.

The recent local fire-bombing of Worshiping places - can those be products or by-products of the Establishment's Divide & Rule policy? The Govt could be Radicals too! Not just individuals!
USA copied our "Imprisonment Without Trial" treatments for suspected threats to "National Security" .. anyone can be detained if they suspected that person of incitement/provoking sensitive issues, real or perceived (search ISA, Malaysia).

I'm not saying anything, though. You make your own conclusion. Sorry for all the riddle-speak.

Well now, finally, I think I understand where you are coming from.
