Texas Youth Baseball Coach Shot While Praying
A youth baseball coach in Texas was shot while praying with his team, an incident police are describing as an “accident.” However, recent reports suggest that this may not be the case.
The shooting occurred during a youth baseball tournament in Katy, Texas, where shots were fired by three men attempting to reach their own regional goals. Corbin Geisendorf, the assistant coach of the Texas Colts, mentioned that bullets were “flying everywhere.”
Interestingly, some individuals, including host Sarah Gonzalez, are exploring the idea that the shooting could be tied to a more sinister motive, not just a random act of gunfire.
One of the suspects, Ahmad Moded, is reportedly a Lebanese man connected to a mosque named Mas Katie. Gonzalez noted that he has shared photos associated with the mosque’s celebrations in the past.
“Now, some might think, ‘It’s just a mosque, what’s the big deal?’ But the connections could run deeper,” she argued.
Mas Katie has affiliations with the Muslim American society and has been described by federal prosecutors as a possible extension of the Muslim Brotherhood.
For context, the Muslim Brotherhood has been labeled a terrorist organization in various countries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. Gonzalez added that extremist groups like Hamas are considered branches of the Brotherhood.
Furthermore, Maine Arkuda, a notable leader at the mosque, has openly supported Islamic law over secular legal systems, raising further concerns. He reportedly stated that public speaking for women should be prohibited and advocated for enforcing hijab from a young age.
After the coach was shot, Gonzalez commented, “It’s hard to believe it was just a coincidence.” She referenced sermons from the mosque that have depicted Christians and Jews in a negative light, which only adds to the unsettling nature of the connection.
Gonzalez summarized her thoughts by asserting that a thorough understanding of the context would lead one to question if this truly was an accidental shooting.
