"Death is the sentence. We know there’s nothing to be embarrassed
about this, death is the sentence … We have to have that compassion for people,
with homosexuals, it’s the same, out of compassion, let’s get rid of them now.”
"Der
Tod ist die Strafe. Wir wissen, das ist nichts, um deswegen verlegen zu sein,
der Tod ist die Strafe ... Wir müssen Mitleid mit den Menschen haben, mit
Homosexuellen, es ist das gleiche, aus Mitleid lasst sie uns jetzt loswerden."

von diesen Menschen ist Omar Seddique Mateen in der Nacht vom 11. zum 12.6.2016
in einem Nachtclub für Homosexuelle in Orlando losgeworden. Da der
Attentäter von der Polizei erschossen wurde, konnte nicht erhoben werden,
ob er motiviert von Scheich Sekaleshfar aus Mitleid handelte oder dem Gesetz
der Scharia mitleidlos folgte. Der IS hat ihn jedenfalls postum zum "Soldaten
des Kalifats" deklariert.
The United West investigative team uncovered a story so disturbing Field
Sutton of Channel 9 news in Orlando, FL broke the story on their newscast.
The Husseini Islamic Center, 5211 Hester Ave, Sanford, FL 32773, invited
Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar to speak at their Mosque. Dr. Sekaleshfar says the
killing of homosexuals is the compassionate thing to do.
In a 2013 speech Sheikh Sekaleshfar said this regarding gays, "Death
is the sentence. We know there’s nothing to be embarrassed about this, death
is the sentence...We have to have that compassion for people, with homosexuals,
it's the same, out of compassion, let’s get rid of them now.”
When Sheikh Sekaleshfar calls for the death of all homosexuals based on the
tenets of Islam it can not be ignored, he is an expert on Shariah Islamiyya
or Islamic Law.
Islamic Law also mandates a death sentence for blasphemers and apostates,
does Sheikh Sekaleshfar and the Husseini Islamic Center Mosque advocate those
legal rulings as well?
What’s equally disturbing is the response to this call for killing gays from
Rev. Bryan Fulwider of the Interfaith Council of Central Florida. Rev. Fulwider
said, "These issues around homosexuality and the decrying of it or denouncing
of it by religion takes away, often, from our really important task of helping
our community to be a better community...and wishes congregations would focus
more on helping the homeless, poor , and abused instead of persecuting a group
that can take care of itself.”
This tepid response from Rev. Fulwider is problematic because he refuses
to denounce the Husseini Islamic Center Mosque for promoting a speaker who calls
for the murder of homosexuals. Rev. Fulwider can’t even say that calling for
the murder of gays is wrong. Fulwider concludes by adding insult to injury,
saying don’t worry about the gays they can take care of themselves.
Equally as troubling is the leadership at the Husseini Islamic Center Mosque
in Sanford, FL never condemn or disagree with the words spoken by their speaker
about the killing of gays - silence is consent.
It would appear the hatred of gays by The Westboro Baptist Church has been
eclipsed by Sheikh Sekaleshfar and the Husseini Islamic Center Mosque of Sanford,
FL. Both of these supposed places of worship should be stripped of their 501c3
status and relegated to the dustbin of history.
