(KYMA) On December 10, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called for Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) to be expelled after he made a comment about destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Rep. Gosar recently made a statement about the mosque, “It remains an abomination that a mosque was allowed to be built over this temple. The United Nations should be finding ways to dismantle and move that mosque, which is an affront to all religions.”
The Al-Aqsa Mosque remains a holy site in Islam and was first used as a prayer direction.
CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad responded to Rep. Gosar by saying, “There should be no room in Congress for those who incite religious violence and use Islamophobia as a tool to gain influence.”
