For Palestinians in Cleveland
The Cleveland Plain Dealer has a helpful list of popular places among Palestinians for dining, shopping, hanging out.
Islamic Center of Cleveland, also known as the Grand Mosque, serves a multicultural Muslim community, but Palestinians make up its largest nationality group. Imam Fawaz Damra, who hails from the Palestinian village of Nablus, gives his Friday sermon in Arabic and English. The mosque hosts occasional tours and lectures designed to explain Islam to non-Muslims. The next open house is Oct. 12. Look for details on the mosque Web site, www.iccleveland.org.
The Islamic Center of Cleveland includes links to CAIR—and none other than SoundVision.com, the Islamic discussion forum last seen here at LGF when we exposed these sadistic Muslim teenagers as they celebrated the August bus bombing in Jerusalem.
UPDATE: Imam Fawaz Damra of the Islamic Center of Cleveland was caught on videotape raising money for jihad against “the sons of monkeys and pigs, the Jews.” (Hat tip: d.) This apparently is no problem for the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Thursday, September 27, Cleveland Plain Dealer headlined: “Imam says Palestinians have the right to take up arms.””
The story reported that on Tuesday night, a Cleveland television station had aired a ten-year-old videotape. It showed the Imam raising money for a Palestinian “jihad” against Israel. He called for “directing all the rifles against the first and last enemy of the Islamic nation, and that is the sons of monkeys and pigs, the Jews.” This is the man who told me that there is no such thing as a holy war. “A war can not be holy.”
His explanation exacerbated his problem. “The tape was describing me as asking my community to contribute to the struggle of the Palestinians in the Holy Land. This is their right. My remarks were not directed at all Jews. I have Jewish friends all over the world. I am a man of moderation … a man of reason,” he told The Plain Dealer reporters.
