The cowards that killed this man deserve harsh justice delivered to them.
I read he was a man of peace, and I will bet you my last dollar that this murder was the work of Salafi Jihadists. Such violent people always attack the moderates among their own to radicalize the flock.
Imam, Another Man Killed In Double Shooting After Leaving Mosque In Queens
CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and 64-year-old associate, Thara Uddin, were each shot in the head while on their way home from a local mosque by a man who came up behind them. ...
Witnesses said the imam from the Al-Furqan Masjid mosque had just delivered an afternoon service and was walking home with another member of the mosque when both men were gunned down.
The motivation behind the violence is still unclear, but many from the surrounding community who attend the mosque are calling this a hate crime.
“After prayer, he taught us how to live peacefully and how to help each other,” said Nazrul Islam of Ozone Park.
“A family man has been lost and a scholarly imam has been lost and we are devastated and we want … peace,” said Kobir Chowdhury of Ozone Park.
