United States: An Islamic mosque in Dearborn, Michigan, announced it would be hosting a memorial service for a deceased Hezbollah terrorist who was recently killed in Lebanon.
The terror militant’s death was said to be caused by targeted attacks believed to be carried out by the Israeli government, which consisted of exploding pagers and walkie-talkies.
According to a flier released by the mosque, the controversial memorial service for Fadl Abbas Bazzi will be held on Sept. 22 at 3 p.m. at the Islamic Institute of Knowledge mosque in Dearborn.
Senior editor of the Post Millennial, Andy Ngo, has confirmed that Bazzi is a Hezbollah terrorist.
The mosque’s announcement stated that Bazzi was a husband, son, and father of two children. The mosque mentioned that the service will be attended by the families mourning the terrorist, which include the Bazzis, the Jomaas, and the Mantashs, as well as the communities of Bentjbeil and Kafarseir.
The Islamic Institute of Knowledge cropped out part of Bazzi’s Hezbollah uniform in the photo for their flyer. However, Hezbollah issued a formal press release in Arabic about their deceased mujahid (Islamic martyr) on their propaganda channel al-Manar.
The memorial service has sparked debate over why an American mosque would conduct a memorial for a terrorist associated with a designated International Terrorist Organization responsible for the deaths of US service personnel.
Additional countries recognizing Hezbollah as an official terror group include the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, the Arab League, and many others.
Dearborn was recognized as the Arab capital of North America after former President Barack Obama relocated a high number of Muslim refugees to the city during his tenure.
The relocation resulted in Dearborn having the largest Muslim population in the US, with nearly half of its roughly 110,000 residents identifying as Muslim.
Many of them are of Lebanese descent and have expressed support for Shia terrorism.
Should an American mosque hold memorials for terrorists linked to an International Terrorist Organization responsible for the deaths of US service members?
