Newburgh mosque leaders: We don’t preach hate

However tenuous the connection between the men and the mosque,
congregants still find it difficult to grapple with the notion of
wannabe terrorists among them. The mosque community prides itself on
strong relationships with other faiths and the greater Newburgh
community.

Rabbi Larry Freedman of the city’s Temple Beth Jacob said he made
three phone calls when the news of the bomb plot broke: two to the
rabbis of the two affected Riverdale synagogues and one to the Masjid
Al-Ikhlad’s imam, Salahuddin Mustafa Muhammad.

“I said, ‘So how’s your day going?’ ” Freedman said. “And he didn’t
really laugh, but you could hear a smile through the phone. It’s a
tough day.”
