It’s safe to say that the citizens of Spotsylvania, Virginia reflect
what many patriots around the country are feeling about now, after the
latest terrorist attack. Rather than simply bracing themselves to become
the next victims, these residents are taking matters into their own
hands to root Islam out of their city and effectively left every burka
in the room in a twisted wad.
Muslims thought they could impose their plans to expand their
influence in the country-proud southern town, but they found out real
quick that wasn’t going to happen on some people’s watches. Irate
residents surprised everyone in attendance at a town meeting on November
17, where supporters were gathered to discuss plans for a massive
8,000-square-foot mosque to be built in the area.
Timing is everything, and to hold a public meeting just days
after a terrorist attack to discuss an enormous Islamic center to be
built wasn’t well thought out. Local patriots, who opposed the plan,
were quick to prove that point when they showed up and shouted
down Samer Shalaby, who is part of the Islamic Center of Fredericksburg
and was leading the meeting that evening.

reported that one man yelled in frustration to the group supporting the
mosque,”Every one of you are terrorists!” and, “I don’t care what you
say, what you think!” Others who sided with this man’s sentiments began
applauding his remarks, while the tension in the room grew to a palpable
level among Muslims, who couldn’t fathom this man’s “insults.”
The unidentified anti-Islam leader of the night turned his
attention to Shalaby, who was spearheading the event. “Shalaby, you can
say whatever you want, every Muslim is a terrorist, period!” he shouted.
“Shut your mouth, I don’t want to hear your mouth!” Then on that note,
he vowed to do absolutely everything in his power to stop the mosque
from being built.
Others in the room agreed that this “religious center” would
inevitably become a safe house for Syrian refugees, which they don’t
want, and it ultimately becomes a breeding ground for radicalization. As
the two sides continued to argue their points, a sheriff’s deputy
stepped in and ended the meeting all together to stop it from going
further, but not without Shalaby throwing in his final two cents.
“You keep hoping that, as we evolve in this country, that we
will not completely put a blanket designation on any group … especially
for religion,” Shalaby said, according to
The Free Lance-Star.
It’s time for every American to stand up for their
convictions and this country and not assume others will do it so you
don’t have to or that terrorism won’t strike us in the homeland again.
It’s not a matter of if, but when, and we don’t need to play host to
their plans to plot against us from within our neighborhoods, all so we
can say we’re simply trying to accommodate diversity.
