Imam Supports Trump Muslim Ban by OLAADEGBU(m): 7:14pm On Dec 10, 2015
You won't believe who just came out in SUPPORT of Trump's Muslim
Written by The Analytical Economist on December 9, 2015

Following the Paris terror attacks, more than half the nation’s governors voiced opposition to Syrian refugees entering their state. Donald Trump took this a step further, calling for the complete shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S.

And those who are unaware that Islam isn't a race were quick to denounce Trump's comments as racist. Surprisingly, Trump found an unexpected ally: Nidal Alsayyed, an Imam who leads a mosque in Beaumont, Texas.

As Breitbart reports, Alsayyed, the Imam from east Texas told his local television station, "I certainly see it to be wise [to] stop temporarily accepting any new Muslim immigrants [refugees and non-refugees] into the United States."

The Texas Imam said, "It does not matter whether Trump said it or anyone else … American Muslims need to say we are with this country." He also said they should raise the American flag in support of the nation. He continued, "We American Muslims need to be sincere in our religion and to the country we are living in. Peace comes before religion. We need to be truthful and transparent when we express a viewpoint or feedback. It does not matter whether Trump said it or anyone else," he said.

The Imam faced some backlash on his Facebook page, to which he released the statement:

I only said what I believe is right. Trump is not against American Muslims; He is against any new Muslim immigrants (refugees and non-refugees)! There is a big difference here! We cannot be emotional.

I believe there is a great confusion and lack of understating nationally and among Muslim themselves for what Mr. Trump is calling for. Refugees in general have no clear identity or belief. They are seeking shelter and opportunity; but America cannot take this risk NOW!
It's not just the Imam – 61 percent of Americans opposed the migration of Syrian refugees into the U.S. before the San Bernardino massacre.

After every terror attack, liberals always remind us that the perpetrators don’t represent all Muslims. If they really believe that, why don’t we hear more about Imam Alsayyed? And are there more Imams out there like him?
