On Friday, the Muslim American Society of Philadelphia posted a tepid statement on their Facebook page after children who were members of the Muslim American Society of Philadelphia sang songs about chopping the heads off of Jews and infidels during a pageant on Ummah Day earlier in April. The lame statement read:

MAS Statement on Philadelphia Video
(Philadelphia, PA) May 3rd, 2019 – The Muslim American Society – Philadelphia Center rejects a statement made at an event held in April at a local community center in Philadelphia. The center celebrated “Ummah Day” where children sang songs from their cultural traditions. While we celebrate the coming together of different cultures and languages, not all songs were properly vetted. This was an unintended mistake and an oversight in which the center and the students are remorseful. MAS-Philadelphia Center will conduct an internal investigation to ensure this does not occur again.
As a faith-based organization dedicated to moving people to strive for God-consciousness and a just and virtuous society, we affirm our long-standing position on our shared values of humanity. We stand resolutely in our condemnation of hate, bigotry, Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, antisemitism and all the illnesses of hate that plague our society.
Basically the Muslim American Society of Philadelphia excused the singing about chopping off heads as a mere oversight problem and an “unintended mistake.” That didn’t sit well with people who actually saw the video and the backlash against MAS.
Then suddenly on Sunday morning, not only did the statement from MAS disappear, but so did the entire Facebook page. It’s gone, deleted, wiped just like that. Gee I wonder why.
The real victims here are the kids. When you watch the video of them singing the song about “chopping off heads” you can see the discomfort in their faces. Those responsible for this little stunt need to be investigated.
