The imam of the Masjid Bilal Ibn Rabah mosque in Syracuse, N.Y., said in a Friday sermon earlier this month is that the greatest danger to society is the freedoms daughters are given.

In the sermon, delivered at the mosque on Oct. 2, Imam Khadar Bin Muhammad said that it was the job of men to “straighten out” the behavior of the women in their families.

He said that according to Islam, it is impermissible for a Muslim woman to live alone, that women should not work, and that fathers should regularly “check in” on their daughters at school to make sure that they are practicing Islam properly.

Warning about the dangers of social media and technology, he further said that fathers should always have control over the affairs of their daughters.

“[Women are] never free from the men of [their] family. ... There’s no freedom like that,” he said.

Infidel men, whom he compared to predatory wolves, cannot resist an opportunity to “filthy” Muslim women, he added.

The sermon was uploaded to the Warrior Scholar Institute YouTube channel. On Oct. 9, Bin Muhammad announced on his Facebook page that he has relocated to Bursa, Turkey.
