⚠️MECCA claims that its goals are "to guide young Muslims””build bridges of understanding w/ other cultures & faiths" Yet the Chicago-area mosque's willingness to promote hate preachers & anti-Semitic demagogues reflects the continued influence of its Islamic founders & leaders.
⚠️ But a man is known by the company he keeps. On September 20, the MECCA Center hosted Imam Zaid Shakir, who delivered the Friday sermon. Shakir's writings and speeches show a man prone to conspiracy theories and extremism.
💣⚠️ In 2001, Shakir argued that the American Muslim community must consider political options including "guerrilla war." Shakir claimed that the United States "inflicted" terrorism on the world & suggested that it would be acceptable for Muslims to attack U.S. military forces!
⚠️Shakir also has engaged 9/11 conspiracy theories and blamed "Zionist" forces and the FBI for the February 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bombing. Shakir argued that the conspirators were set up as a way of bolstering anti-Islamic sentiment.⚠️
⚠️On September 29, the MECCA Center hosted Linda Sarsour, who has a well established history of anti-Semitism and promoting extremism.
⚠️ As highlighted on the Qatar-owned channel Al Jazeera in 2016, the #MECCA Center is a three-story edifice built on 57,000 square feet in the upscale Willowbrook suburb of Chicago....
.... In the opening ceremony of this "mega-mosque," Sheikh Kifah Mustapha, imam of the Orland Park Prayer Center, appeared cutting the ribbon with Imam Hassan Aly.
Mustapha has a history of supporting violent anti-Semitism.⚠️

⚠️💣An examination of MECCA's leadership identifies other individuals connected with the same Islamist network. MECCA also has well known ties to the Islamist groups Muslim Brotherhood, ICNA, ILF, and YM.
