SAN BERNARDINO, California A regular attendee of the mosque attended by San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook has told Breitbart News that the congregation dont like Donald Trump.
Mr. Shehata, who was speaking at a press conference inside the mosque today was asked by Breitbart News what political opinions the congregation expressed, after commenting during the official press conference that he felt his fellow Muslims were normal people who had political opinions.
After the press conference in the Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah of America centre in northern San Bernardino, Breitbart News caught up with Mr. Shehata, asking him what he meant by political opinions.
I know where youre going, he said. We dont have any pro-ISIS, he added, before being asked about American politics.
We talk like why an American go and shoot people in the movie theatre it goes on the news for two days and the say hes crazy. And when a Muslim does the same thing we say hes a terrorist and we talk about it for two weeks, like this storys going to stay on TV for two weeks.
So more like current affairs, not like partisan politics? he was asked.
We talk about Donald Trump, we talk about the election, he volunteered, We are like any other Americans. We have opinions. But we dont have any extreme opinions, we dont have any hatred for nobody. We dont want anybody to be killed.
What do you say about Donald Trump, Breitbart News asked.
We dont like him, Mr. Shehata who says he attends the mosque three times a day, replied.
Mr. Shehata was held up by the mosques leaders, during the press conference, as a devout attendee who could give more insider information about the mosque and its congregation.
He said during the press conference: I know everybody here. And nobody here is having extremist ideas, including Rizwan (Syed Farook) by the way.
Mr. Shehata told reporters that he had seen Syed Farooks wife, once, in a car, wearing a niqab so her face was covered. We dont know how she looks like, he said.
After he came back from Saudi Arabia he wanted to do a reception for food. A friend of mine cooked for him and took the food to Riverside mosque
thats last year.
