ISIS sympathetic youth center to open doors in Dearborn, MI
DEARBORN, MI - Following months of obstruction by state officials, the federal government intervened on behalf of a Muslim group who is outspokenly supportive of the Islamic State, to open the doors of a new Islamic youth outreach center in a lower-income area in the city of Dearborn. The facility will be run by Syrian-born Aisha Hani-Salaam, a recent immigrant and unapologetic supporter of ISIS.
President Obama, who signed the executive order to allow the center, said, "We need to take advantage of every opportunity to end the violence between our people. Hopefully this will start a new era in relations between the United States and the religion of Islam. Muslims are understandably angry over the Western media's overblown portrayal of ISIL as merciless killers. I believe this is a good opportunity to end the fighting and use diplomacy to usher in a new era of peace, as well as gain a powerful new ally in that part of the world."
Despite the President's hopeful and reassuring message, Hani-Salaam remains angry and openly criticizes some American Muslims for their 'lukewarm' traditional condemnations of the United States.
Hani-Salaam's frustration can somewhat be justified by the failure of his American neighbors to understand his clear and sincere message: convert, submit, or die by the sword. Time and time again he has laid it out in plain words during his various media appearances, radio interviews, and townhall meetings, assuring his opponents of the peaceful nature of Islam, saying that ISIS fighters aren't doing anything outside normal religious practices, and even promising to prove it by beheading a talk show host from the local NPR affiliate radio station during live broadcast, and yet most Americans continue to have a rather grim view of ISIS and Islam in general, which makes this pious religious man understandably angry.
His new inclusive youth outreach center, known only as 'The Mosque,' has already announced its plans to take at-risk youth of any race, faith, or gender off the streets and redirect their anger at society by giving them a new sense of identity and purpose. Kids in the program between the ages of four to twenty, who previously roamed the alleyways at night and caused trouble in neighborhoods, will now participate in team-building exercises, daily religious tutoring, and will be improving their self-esteem by awakening their inner heroes and martyrs.
"We do not discriminate," says Hani-Salaam. "We are very welcoming and inviting to all the youth in the area, unlike most American youth programs. We want to create an atmosphere of racial and religious harmony on our grounds, while teaching about Islam, the path to martyrdom, and peace of mind."
"We understand that delinquent behavior in American children and teenagers is mostly the result of poor leadership, substandard living conditions, lack of attention from their parents, and often the lack of fathers," Hani-Salaam continues. "We promise to fill the void in these children's souls by giving them acceptance and support they can't get anywhere else, as well as a stronger presence of authority in their lives. They may be picked on and excluded in school or at home, but here they are all equal disciples of the Prophet (PBUH)."
The Mosque will have weekly 'popcorn nights' as the children watch recent works from Syria's new generation of independent filmmakers. The movie selection mostly includes action and adventure, and sometimes popular among American youths, fantasy revenge films similar to Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, only with an Islamic twist. Daily 'reading hours' include reading fresh ISIS brochures delivered to The Mosque directly from Syria, studying and discussing articles from the English-language Inspire magazine published in the Arabian Peninsula, or doing independent online research on various Islamic websites.
Impressed by The Mosque's inclusive non-bias program, many local schools have invited Hani-Salaam to speak to their students. His busy schedule includes visiting at least one classroom a day, always a different one, talking to the local children and inviting them to The Mosque.
"It's a good way to bring diverse culture to our young community," says principal Al-Dawla. "Up until now we have been struggling with troubled youth in the city, but now I believe we have found a solution that will guide them to a more purposeful path."
