Praying Muslims rile Florida beach town

A
group of Muslim men praying on a beach in broad daylight on Mashes
Sands Beach in Wakulla County, Florida, has set the town on edge, with
even a local sheriff candidate expressing worry those in clothing
considered immodest by Shariah law standards could be in danger.
“I’m
raising the question of whether or not a group of military aged Muslim
men ... are praying on our beach, well label me whatever you want,” said
Wakulla County Sheriff candidate Will Dance, WTXL reported. “The
reason I brought this up is because my daughters use that beach, my
wife uses that beach and gentlemen, under Sharia Law, the cutoff shorts
and T-shirts ... that my family wears on that beach are considered
offensive under Shariah and any Muslim man may carry out what he feels
is fit punishment. And I’m sorry but that type of behavior cannot happen
here.”
The
scene of the praying Muslim men came to light when Wakulla County
Commission Chairman Ralph Thomas walked by and snapped a picture, then
posted it to his Facebook page with the text: “Walked up on this at Mashes Sands this evening! First time seeing this in Wakulla County.”
Raw Story reported the photo has generated a lot of feedback, including death threats.
Imam Amro told WTKL, however, there was nothing to worry about.
“A
sick brain,” he said, referring to those who would criticize and fear
the prayer. “Then you will find it in Islam and in Christianity, in any
religion there is a sick brain but this is something else.”
But social media writers weren’t so quick to dismiss the perceived dangers.
“Don’t worry, they said,” wrote one. “It won’t happen here they said. Good awareness, I say. Thanks Ralph.”
And
another: “This is a prophesy in the bible that nations will go into a
Religious War, but us Believers in Christ, do not fear, for we know the
final outcome, Victory in God The Father, God the Son, God The Holy
Ghost! And we shall all meet in Heaven!”
