Masjid At-Taqwa

I am writing an updated review because since the last time I have been to Masjid Taqwa I have been following them Facebook. We are as responsible for what we do on social media as what we do in our establishments. So I will say this. I will not return. They have posted stories on their Facebook page supporting conspiracy theories for the San Bernardino Shooting to turn the responsibility off of the Muslim shooters. Which I think is irresponsible of them. If a Muslim community doesn’t accept that certain things happen how will they deal with issues within their own communities? Also they have posted anti-​Semitic articles. Which I think that this mosque needs to really think about the fact that they are a powerful voice in the community and a loud one. So when they post such things people listen and it adds to anti-​Semitism amongst the Muslim community and adds to the tension between the Muslims and Jews in Brooklyn. As leaders in their community they need to act more responsibly and think about the impact they are having on the public. Or maybe that is their purpose is to create more hate. I certainly hope not.

How do you rate a place of worship? Beautiful masjid and nice mixed congregation. The staff is very educated and trained in Islam Its has a very odd exterior… hmmm no windows, Its feels Masonic. The security and surveillance cameras seems creepy. It almost feels likes somebody’s watching you…

I have been affiliated with this mosque for over twenty year. It is a a good place to acquire spiritual enlightment and peace Inshallah.
