“In Islamic tradition, since our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has been the last of all prophets, God is not going to send another prophet. but God might send inspired preachers to bring people back to the right path. And so this is all within God’s will.”...

All I can tell you is what the Imam told me. When persecution comes, Allah wants me to run to the mosque for protection. If I don’t, I will be slain at the hands of a Christian. Perhaps a Muslim member will see this and enlighten us further with an Islamic perspective on the incident.
