MONITORING AND COMBATING ISLAMOPHOBIA

A Project of the Council on American-Islamic Relations

Usama Dakdok

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. In October 2013, a high school in Minnesota rescinded approval for an event featuring Dakdok after learning about his bias speech regarding Islam and Muslims.

At a December 10, 2012 event, titled “Infiltration of Islam in America?” and sponsored by the Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party, at Mansfield High School in Mansfield, Ohio, Dakdok called Islam a “wicked cult.” Dakdok also claimed that American Muslims “will kill your children” and that “we are in war with Islam.”

During his presentation Dakdok also made hate-filled claims such as: (NOTE: Speaker’s linguistic errors retained.)

  • “The day will come and Muslim in America will have the upper hand, and they will kill your children for not eating what is liked. For not eating the lawful foods.”
  • “What happened to the women and the children? They were raped. By who? By Muhammad and his followers. And they got pregnant, and they had babies, and the baby was born by the name Fatima, and Khadija, and Obama, and Hussein, and Barack, and all those wonderful Muslim names.”
  • “[W]ithout Allah they will die and for sure they would spend eternity in hell with Muhammad and with all previous Muslims, and Baptist, and Presbyterian, and Catholic, and everyone who’s think by going to some church will make it to heaven.”
  • “Killing you is a small matter [for Muslims].”
  • “We were not in war with Bin Ladin, we are in war with Islam.”
  • “[T]hen you have a revival in America among the Muslim, and that’s when they start beheading your children and your grandchildren.”
  • “So they say this month two and a half percent of the profit [American banks] made will go to Egypt. To help to get rid of illiteracy. What do they mean by illiteracy? They meant Christian. We are gonna kill some Christian. Or this month we are gonna get rid of some AIDS. What is AIDS? That is the Jews.”
