(Corona Press-Enterprise) Less than a week after a controversial video surfaced on Facebook, Corona city councilman and pastor Randy Fox is facing calls for a censure after he said a council candidate “will not say no to sharia law.”
The second half of the 20-minute video, taken from his Aug. 12 sermon at New Hope Family Worship Center in Corona, shows Fox discussing the Nov. 6 City Council election. Fox, elected in 2014, is not seeking a second term.
In the video, Fox refers to a candidate who is a “member of the mosque leadership there, who will not say no to sharia law, most certainly.”
Fauzia Rizvi, a District 4 council candidate who said she’s Muslim and once had a leadership post with the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco, said she believes Fox’s comments targeted her.
