New York – Muslims have “more of a right” than Jews to the biblical prophet Moses, declared the imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City.

Imam Abdallah Adhami also urged Muslims to “compete” with other religions.
“We must be doing it first, we must compete with you to be doing more of that. We want to fast Ashura too, because that’s the day God saved Moses; that is certainly a day to be celebrated. We have more right to Moses,” stated Adhami in a 2008 lecture obtained and reviewed by WND.
Ashura is an Islamic fast day that commemorates Muslim events, including the Islamic claim that Moses fasted on that day to express gratitude to God for liberating the Israelites from Egypt.
In his lecture, Adhami recounted the Islamic story of the Muslim figure Muhammad arriving in Medina, where he encountered Jews who fasted on Ashura and asked them why they were celebrating the holiday.
Hear Adhami’s speech:
This has to be the funniest joke I’ve heard in a long time.
Fasting Ashura? Ashura in arabic means 10, is he referring to Yom Kippur which is on the 10th day of Tishre?
If he is, then he certainly has no idea what he’s talking about!
Bottom line – he’s an idiot
Is he referring to Mussa?? Then he means Moses!! Mussa = Moses Daud = David Yusif= Joseph and we all know how much respect Joseph got!! Don’t we?? This is a joke!! Ibrahim = Abraham and on and on……………
Wow what are the chances that this new imam is also a typical peaceful Muslim.
He looks like a raving maniac.
Funny… Moses never mentioned anything about that.
You mean an am ho’oretz!
Peace loving ??????? I don’t think he knows the meaning!!
Maybe ‘Ashura’ is Assara b’Teves?
Competing with other religions is not peace!
“In his lecture, Adhami recounted the Islamic story of the Muslim figure Muhammad arriving in Medina, where he encountered Jews who fasted on Ashura and asked them why they were celebrating the holiday”.
This means that he admits to the fact that Muhammad had no freakin’ idea untill then that there was such a thing called “Ashura”.
So if he just found out then, how come he has more right to this more than the Jews?
here we go again with theese mindless uneducated imams thyey think they know it alll when in reality their are out of touch with reality dummer then dummns theese immms
Yes we can see how dumb they may be, but they still want to take over the US. What are we going to DO about it other than post comments here? Any practical advice to stop this raving lunatic?
Let him go up to Mt Sinai and see if G-D will speak to him. More than likely if G-D does, he will come down begging for mercy and forgiveness from G-D’s chosen people.
A bit of history: Ashura is the 10th day Muharram, the first month.
From one of the hadiths (Muslem text):
“The Prophet came to Medina and saw the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura. He asked them about that. They replied, “This is a good day, the day on which Allah rescued Bani Israel from their enemy. So, Moses fasted this day.” The Prophet said, “We have more claim over Moses than you.” So, the Prophet fasted on that day and ordered (the Muslims) to fast (on that day).”
As occurs a number of times with the founder of Islam, he confused a number a Jewish practices (like Yom Kippur) and took them for his own purposes.
1,300 years later, and they continue the same practice.
We don’t have Moshe, we were never in Jerusalem, Rachel’s Tomb is now a Palestinian historical site, etc., etc.
