Nomani: Combating Islamist Agenda “An Existential Fight” for America’s Future
27th March 2023
Spurred by the brutal murder of her friend and Wall Street Journal colleague Daniel Pearl by Islamic jihadists, Asra Nomani launched her campaign against Islamic extremism in 2002. One of her pioneering battles against radical Islam was the fight for equal rights for Muslim women to pray alongside men in the main hall of a West Virginia local mosque. The mosque where she grew up had a separate prayer section for women in the back.
Nomani also heard imams at the mosque preach hatred toward non-believers and the West. Her largely-futile struggle against the Islamist Mosque was showcased in the PBS documentary, “The Mosque in Morgantown” as the final installment of the network’s series “America at a Crossroads.”
