What if a Catholic priest called for the death of a member who either took exception to a specific teaching of the church or if that member left the church? There would be cries of outrage, and rightly so. Why then is it that an Imam, preaching in a Mosque in the United States can call for the death of Ayaan Hirsi Ali and nary a word is heard?
Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Johnstown Islamic Center, was among those who objected to Hirsi Ali's appearance.
"She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death," said ElBayly, who came to the U.S. from Egypt in 1976.
