SHOCK: TX Imam Who Supports Trump Issues Warning on Radical Islam… Mosque Demands He Resign

Imam Nidal Alsayyed came out in support of Donald Trump’s[1] ban on Muslim immigration until adequate vetting can be done to protect our nation from terrorists. He said Trump’s plan was wise. That took a level of courage that I truly respect. For having the courage of his convictions, the mosque immediately demanded his resignation. The imam complied. I fear his life may now be in danger simply because he said what he thought was right and prudent. Nidal supports a moratorium on all immigration until we can put a system in place to check and track people coming into the US. That’s sane and common sense if you want to survive as a nation that is.

Imam[2]

From TheBlaze:

After Nidal Alsayyed, an imam at a mosque in Beaufort, Texas, came out in favor of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s plan to ban all Muslims from entering the country, Alsayyed said he left his post at the mosque following a demand for his resignation.

In an exclusive interview with KBMT-TV[3] on Monday, the imam said he sees Trump’s plan as “wise.”

“I certainly see it to be wise [to] stop temporarily accepting any new Muslim immigrants (refugees and non-refugees) into the United States,” Alsayyed said. “[Islam] is based on the fact that we can hardly distinguish who is Muslim and who is not. Islam is not about an ID card or last name or shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’”

“I certainly see it to be wise [to] stop temporarily accepting any new Muslim immigrants (refugees and non-refugees) into the United States,” Alsayyed stated. “[Islam] is based on the fact that we can hardly distinguish who is Muslim and who is not. Islam is not about an ID card or last name or shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’” Exactly right. This imam does not want terrorists here either. His words went viral and the imam was interviewed by Sean Hannity[4]. He was the religious director at the Islamic Center of Triplex. Alsayyed received a call in the middle of the night from a board member who demanded he resign immediately over his statements. You see, he didn’t conform and now he is being disciplined for it. He is a “moderate” Islamic scholar who believes in practicing the “peaceful branch” of Islam. The imam has been a teacher in his faith since 1989. Above all he is considering the safety and peace of the American people. Too bad our leaders won’t listen to him.
