Click here to send your email to urge the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission to reveal to the public and federal officials the details of its investigation into the April 2019 video of Muslim children from a Philadelphia mosque performing anti-Semitic skits and singing violent songs.
The Daily Wire published an article on September 27, 2019 titled: Congressmen Demand Answers About Horrifying Anti-Semitic Video In Philadelphia. The article reports in part:
Two U.S. congressmen are asking the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission to reveal the details of its investigation into the April 2019 video of Muslim children from a Philadelphia mosque performing anti-Semitic skits and singing violent songs.
The shocking video was presented by the Muslim American Society Islamic Center and Masjid A-Hidaya Mosque in Philadelphia in celebration of “Ummah Day.” As reported at the time by The Daily Wire, the video featured Muslim children singing,
Muslim children's Video “We will chop off their heads … we will lead the army of Allah fulfilling his promise, we will subject them to eternal torture … we will defend the land of divine guidance with our bodies … sacrifice our souls without hesitation."
Following multiple press articles, the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations announced an investigation into the event.
But more than five months have elapsed — with no follow-up from the Commission regarding its findings. Recently, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) sent a letter to the Commission’s executive director, Rue Landau, requesting an update of its findings and asking whether further investigation needs to be made by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The letter also informed Landau of the Muslim American Society’s (MAS) role as an “overt arm” of the Muslim Brotherhood and notes that “several senior members of the Muslim Brotherhood are designated as terrorists.” Perry and Zeldin also noted that, given the Muslim American Society has 50 chapters throughout the United States, the results of the Philadelphia investigation are of national importance in trying to understand the role played by the organization and similar groups in indoctrinating American Muslims children towards extremist Islamism.
Contacted about the letter, Landau did not respond.
The Philadelphia City Council has not taken action, either. While Philadelphia Councilman Curtis Jones prepared a city council resolution in outrage over Pennsylvania Representative Delegate Stephanie Borowicz’s references to Jesus in a State House invocation during the swearing-in of Muslim State Representative Movita Johnson-Harrell, there has been no similar resolutions or outrage over the Muslim American Society’s promotion of songs about beheading Jews. Calls and emails to Jones and other councilmen asking if they too would add their voices in requesting an update from the Commission were ignored.
The Daily Wire first reported on this situation on May 3, 2019 in an article titled: WATCH: Kids In Philadelphia Muslim Society: ‘We Will Chop Off Their Heads’ For Allah. The article reports in part:
In a statement to Fox News, MEMRI wrote: “These are not isolated incidents; they are happening in major centers of the country – including in Pennsylvania.”
The video sparked reaction online from some in the Muslim community, including Imam Mohamad Tawhidi, who tweeted: “We warn the West from what we fled from in the Middle East, but the West doesn’t want to listen. This is your next generation:”
Hassan Sajwani, an Emirati writer, tweeted: “I hope the world now realizes why did the #UAE back in 2014 designated #MuslimAmericanSociety @mas_national a terrorist organization ! This is what they preach kids as young as 5 yrs of age !!”
