Worshippers restrain suspect after Imam stabbed at New Jersey mosque
#NewJersey #Crime #NBCNews
The attacker is a reflection of the society he has grown in, and the values he has assimilated through his family.
This is how Ali ibn Abi Talib was killed.
Happens in a christian church by these people and nothing said.
The most dangerous country
Is hi Jewish?
In indonesia there was also this imam who was stabbed while speaking on stage, he didn’t die when he was stabbed but a few months later he died, the stabbers are definitely not alone they are usually in a group
Syahid bro
Lucunya aktifitas macam gini sebenernya bikin umat muslim bersatu dan bahkan dibela oleh non muslim
MasyaAllah
Say now: who is the teroris??
Cowards!!
Rise of Islamophobia getting in from India’ s current fascist ruling party. And from the other one from the east. Truly, to enemies of Islam and Muslim is better that they don’t bother Muslims so they mind their own business. For going after them only gives opposite effect of what these haters want, they end up awakening the “Sleeping Dragon”
Very nice to see CCTV in masjid
Ramadhan mubarak all of you 🎉
Stupid people never care for personal security while praying like helpless mosquitoes during Crusade butcheries in “mosques”. Keep atleast 5 Muslims with whistles & pepper spray to guard all entrances while praying. Screen id n weapons of all namazis worshippers esp if a new face.
The attacker is IRANIAN Shiat from the Ismailia Nusairia Sect ( Aka ; Hashasshien or Assassins ); who were trained in Iran 🇮🇷. They HATE Suni Islam. The Imam WARNED of them in one of his Sermons; that’s why he targeted him. The government doesn’t want to make it a religious hate crime ; so they are trying to say the kid has a Mental condition; so they don’t have to investigate who gave the Assassination Order.
*ISLAM TIDAK RUGI TANPA KITA*
*TAPI KITA YANG RUGI TANPA ISLAM*
Allah bless this imam with good health,in shaa Allah, Ameen 🤲
Innalillahi wainna ilaihi roji’un.
In Syaa Allah the imam survived with speedy recovery and the attacker later on will revert to Islam. Aameen.
Terrible hope he is OK
So when it happens in a church, the media doesn’t say anything but when it’s a mosque then the media says something.
The more Islam is oppressed by those against it, the more it grows in popularity and acceptability by non-muslims in general.
Christine fundamentalist government and churches doing this👊
This is what Christian fundamentalist churches teaching to their followers to act against Islam.👊👊👊
Common denominator is Islamic terror. From the Phillipines to US. Common denominator is Islam. Now one muslim stabbing others
The stabber was a Muslim himself. Wonder what the motive was ?
Hope Media has guts to speak up against discrimination!!
Allah will protect us from evil
may the hard working leader(imam) recover in no pain.
the other man hv done crime only now is mystery of his crime.
he did it like cunning majusi since prophet time “AllahummasollehAllasayedinaMuhammed @ pbuh”.
been done to many good companions R.A.und muslim esp during wars.
The great most fair judge,leader und Prince of Khotteb, Emirul Mukminin Umar R.A. was stabbed until His R.A. meat stuck to the dagger. The majusi used 3 blades dagger.
enemies of truth,of fairness und of Islam are here to stay.
Allah Hu Aqbar no muslim fear death
Stabbed by a Crusader terrorist. Say it the way it is.
By an Indian dog and not a Christian
Sad😢😢
a Muslim does such act Authorities talk abt his mother father 😅😅grandfather great-grandmother great grandfather.
And his fundamentalism and about him only a short talk….😅 what a great country and media 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Many thanks to Allah almighty that Imam is safe and in stable condition.
Christian terror attack…lonely wolf.
Do Christians support this chicken terrorist?
He would’ve sent the imam str8 to Jannah…. what was his aim exactly?
full support to israel
Muslims always be victim of Terrorists
There shouldn’t be religions whatsoever in the first place.
Change your name ADAM
What? Don’t you go to church? So why can’t we pray at a masjid?
The more they do this the more people will read about Islam
This is crazy not over no news channel
Their stomachs burn out of jealousy and hatred. May Allah swt give shi’fa to the imam and good tidings to his family and protect all muslims
May Allah punishes that monster
😢
Allahu Akbar 💔😭
Coward
God is the greatest 💪🙏 Allah Uh Akbar
Alhamdulillah he survived 🙏😭
I pray Imam for quick recovery inshallah.
Our teacher used to say: “Don’t be afraid! Being attacked on God’s path is an honor, there are great rewards behind that and we’re not that good.” My God blessed the Imam with great reward.
who is the terrorist?
Still he is not labeled terrorist?! That phrase is only reserved only for muslims.
Now preaching violence by the sword will lead to death by the sword .. maybe Islam should preach Peace instead ….just saying
The attacker’s face was the index of his mind.
May God granted the healing and keep praying…
This has been a constant fear of mine whenever I pray inside the masjid due to how common violence occurs in places of worship. I definitely think armed security should be mandatory at all places of worship.
This is sad and upsetting and should never happen again. I am glad the Imam will fully recover.
Why did that stupid bum stab the imam? What was the reason behind it?
Islamophobia
Why mosque don’t have security during prayer
isn’t this terrorism ? or the term only works if it’s the other way around –“
God is you 🎉
Islam is rising
May Almighty Allah grants the imam quick recovery. Amin
was the imam a Sunni or shia kafir?
It doesn’t matter, he is Muslim, shame on you for calling shias kafirs..
I don’t know did anyone noticed this that the same situation occurred back in 661 CE (19th Ramzan) when “IMAM ALI “who was the first Imam who is believed to be the rightful successor to Muhammad, divinely appointed successors of Muhammad who are claimed by the Shias. When Abd-Al Rahman struck IMAM ALI over his head with a poison-coated sword when he went to pray at the Kufa mosque .Imam Ali died three days later.💔
Two things:1.Muslims calling the cops for a suspect in their custody…igstaghfirullah!;2.if this perp isn’t funded by Zionists,I’ll be winning the powerball this year!
May Allah punish the stabbed and heal the imam
They say muslims are terrorist right ? 🥴 guess who’s terro now
Thank the Lord the Imam is okay! 🤲🏽❤️☝🏽
Is he not a terrorist?
I wish the imam quick recovery
Disbeliever…do evil things…
May allah help your community
Suspect!?……his a terrorist
News built for them made for them made by them
Don’t ask me for what reason? Have to read Qur’an properly
May the almighty Allah gave him a speedy recovery #Mashaallah #Ameen
AstagfirAllah Al Adheem. After not being safe in a school you are also vulnerable at a house of worship? Alhamdullah Allah caught the stabber and inshaAllah he faces the same thing too.
It is a clear terrorist act, why you call it “suspect”!!!!
Even if the Imaam has died, God forbid , everyone would be happy, because that’s the best way to exit this life, nthe most noble way, doing what Allah the Almighty loves and dying for his sake
Thank you respect to the Muslim community and the police and mayor for the support in the end we are all here with same goal of living our live the best we can these things make us United x
InshaAllah the system will deal with the assailant severely and justly
Wait the Masjid is called Masjid Umar? What a coincidence!
Disgraceful by this man!!
Christian terror attack
He waited. Even after entering the room, he waited for everyone to kneel down again before walking up to his target. Disgusting.
Allahumma hafizni Hasbunallah wa nemal wakil
And the marterd surely go to Jannah grant him Jannah fardaus 😢🤲🏻😞🤲🏻🛐🌄❤️
Oh I thought he passed may Allah heal him and the one who stabbed be cursed for their evil deeds
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how Good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for freе 087
Wait isn’t he a terrorist ? he just terrorized a bunch of people who were peaceful praying ,or the terrorism term apply only on Muslims, hypocrisy as always
I am so saddened with this news as a Muslim. I pray that Imam recovers swiftly. I am so glad that congregation caught the attacker and he is at police custody. I pray that criminals stop targeting mosques 🕌, Churches ⛪️ and Synagogues 🕍, all worship places not only at US also at Israel, India, China, and rest of the world.
thats teroris or not teroris?
To all muslim here, If your mother is not married, I wanna mut’ah with her
I wanna marry her for 3 days and pay her money.
According to your hadith in chapter 4 verse 24 and chapter 5 verse 87 this is halal.
So let me intimate with your mother!
Alhamdullillah IMAM IS WELL🤲
“Do not think Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do, He only delays them until a day [their] eyes will stare in horror”
Last place you wana see ya opps is inside the masjid 😂😂
You are not supposed to Quit Prayer no matter what but look All Muslims Quit prayer Muslims are not brave Anymore 😮😊 Now Days The way They used to be
I can’t believe that after this incident they gave this kind of protection to Muslims. If this happened in India, they would have worshiped the guilty instead of giving protection to the muslims. The condition of Muslims is not good in India.
Disgusting.
Pray for syifa for the imam.
Guys, The Muslim Population has been growing at an alarming rate in The U.S ; The Papacy which created islam , now wants to take over The U.S from White People , now uses all these muslim terrorists to racially mingle with other race to create another Young Turks here in U.S . The Patterson, NJ became the home of these muslims to inflitrate towards other parts of U.S.
The man who had Stabbed the imam and the other people who do such atrocities against Muslims in America are just a bunch of uneducated, illiterate and unemployed morons of America.
May Allah heal the imaam 🤲
