The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.'” Read more.

Mosques Preaching Hatred Against ‘Kaffir’ Jews and Christians – “Channel Four sent an undercover reporter to the Green Lane mosque in Birmingham, where he filmed secretly for four months. This mosque is the headquarters of the Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith. The preachers at this mosque were shown inciting hate against ‘unbelievers’, called disparagingly ‘Kuffaar’ or ‘kaffir’.” Read more.
