(Detroit Free Press) A woman from Oregon who burned a Quran outside a Dearborn mosque says she plans to return to the city by the end of the summer to again burn the holy book for Muslims.
Sorbeah Almosa lit on fire a Quran at about 4 a.m. on July 13 on a sidewalk outside the Al-Huda Islamic Association, a mosque on Warren Avenue, as a protest against what she said were extremist statements made at rallies in Dearborn in recent months. Almosa is outspoken against Islam, claiming that Islamic law, sharia, poses a threat to the U.S. She has taken part in various conservative protests in Oregon in recent years.
“I will be back,” Almosa told the Free Press on Wednesday. She said the next time she’s in Dearborn, she intends to protest against Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and again burn a Quran because he issued a public alert about her the day before she burned the Quran.
