There is chilling video of Muslim children in Philadelphia singing songs and reading poetry about killing people in the name of Allah. The Muslim American Society Islamic Center, the group responsible, is not in the Middle East, but right here in the United States. The group posted a video of the performance on its Facebook page to celebrate. The kids are lip-synching: TODD STARNES: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE FLAP LATEST EXAMPLE OF LEFT'S PLAN TO ERADICATE AMERICAN VALUES, TRADITIONS “We will defend the land of divine guidance with our bodies, and we will sacrifice our souls without hesitation.” “We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will lead the army of Allah fulfilling His promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture.” “The blood of the martyrs is calling us. Paradise, men desire it. Revolutionaries, revolutionaries … Sword and text, oh free men.” You should be very afraid right now, folks. Very afraid. The Middle East Media Research Institute – a watchdog group – first published the videos. The research institute said what we are watching in Philadelphia is happening in major Muslim centers around the country. "The Muslim American Society has a history of being founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1993. That's confirmed in FBI investigations," Muslim scholar Dr. Qanta Ahmed told "Fox & Friends First" Monday morning. "The Muslim Brotherhood is the mothership of Islamist terrorism and central to that is a cosmic enmity with Judaism, so they have major problems," Ahmed said. "Furthermore, there's been investigations by the Middle East Forum that American taxpayer finances go to groups like this to the tune of $310,000 since 2007, going to groups like the Muslim American Society, though over $47 million goes to groups." The Muslim American Society’s Philadelphia chapter released a statement expressing its remorse and calling the jihad songs an “unintended mistake.” The group said not all the songs were properly vetted and promised an investigation. Well, I'd like to know why the FBI is not investigating. Why hasn't the Joint Terrorism Task Force been sent to Philadelphia? Why hasn't the Muslim American Society chapter been shut down? Because that video illustrates a clear and present danger to the nation. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Rep. Lee Zeldin, who was a guest on "Fox & Friends," said: "They had children talking about chopping off of heads, liberating Al-Aqsa Mosque. The message isn't one that you play and have these kids talk about unintended. That's unacceptable and obviously unbelievable." The Al-Aqsa Mosque is located in the Old City of Jerusalem atop the Temple Mount. Quite frankly, it sounds like the kind of propaganda material used to recruit jihadists. And I don't know about you – but I'm curious to learn what else The Muslim American Society has been teaching those boys and girls.

Ayman Hammous, the national executive director of the Muslim American Society, condemned the video and called its content “disturbing,” according to the AP. “It does not represent our understanding of Islam, nor the understanding of the mainstream Muslim community,” Hammous said, according to the AP. ADVERTISEMENT In the video, first translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute last week, two young girls from an April event are shown reading a statement in which one says “We will sacrifice our souls without hesitation, we will chop off their heads” in an effort to liberate Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque. Hammous said the event was organized by a separate group that rents space rather than the Society itself, according to the AP. Hammous said the MAS has asked the school board to fire the person responsible for the event and that he is evaluating chapter leadership and investigating the "oversight" failures that led to the statements. Hammous also vowed to review the MAS’ social media policies and improve training within the Philadelphia chapter and promised stricter oversight of any events at the Philadelphia chapter, including those organized by third parties, according to the AP. Philadelphia’s chapters of both the Anti-Defamation League and the Council on American-Islamic Relations also condemned the video, with CAIR chapter chairman Iftekhar Hussain saying Muslim teaching “categorically rejects either speech or actions that harm in any way our Jewish brothers and sisters,” according to the AP. The Philadelphia chapter of the MAS did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.<doc-sep>A Philadelphia city commission said Monday it's investigating an event last month at which Muslim children were captured on video speaking in Arabic about beheadings and the liberation of Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site. The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations launched a probe into the April 17 gathering at the Muslim American Society's Philadelphia chapter. A video uploaded to the chapter's Facebook page shows children moving to a revolutionary anthem often used by Islamist groups, and two young girls reading from a prepared text. One says, "We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque." The contested site, revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The compound is the third holiest site in Islam and the holiest site for Jews. It has been a flashpoint of violence in the past. The Muslim American Society took the video down — calling the video "disturbing" and condemning the words used in it — and said a school that rented space in the building was responsible for the program. It said the person in charge of the event had been dismissed. The society also called the school, which it did not name, a "separate entity." But old Facebook posts that have since been taken down show that a school called MAS Leaders Academy operates at the Muslim American Society's Philadelphia location. Muslim American Society officials did not return phone calls and email messages seeking comment Monday on the relationship between the Philadelphia chapter and the school. "Unfortunately, the video from the school was uploaded to the chapter's Facebook page without verifying the content of the video for appropriateness and making sure it conforms to our hate-free policy and values. The chapter will take further steps in assuring strict adherence to publishing and posting policies," according to a weekend statement from the society's national headquarters. The Muslim American Society also shares space with the Al-Hidaya mosque, which serves a large number of Palestinian immigrants, according to Jacob Bender, executive director of the Council on Islamic American Relations' Philadelphia chapter. He said Monday that the mosque has asked the council to hold a "workshop on diversity and religious tolerance" to help "members of the immigrant Muslim community have a better understanding of Jewish sensitivities and anti-Semitism, so that events like this don't repeat themselves." Bender, who is Jewish, also said the incident "was not an example of radicalization," noting the mosque has good relations with Philadelphia city officials. "This was a stupid decision by an untrained pedagogue and volunteer teacher," he said. The city's human relations commission, meanwhile, said it is gathering information about the April 17 "Ummah Day" event at the center of the controversy. The commission works to mediate conflict among groups, among other things. "The city of Philadelphia condemns bigotry in all its forms," Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement Monday. "Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. For this moniker to ring true, all our brothers and sisters — regardless of their background — must feel safe and welcome. We are committed to working together with partners representing all our communities to make this happen." ___ Rubinkam reported from northeastern Pennsylvania.

JTA ) — Children at a Muslim center in Philadelphia sing they will “chop off their heads” — an apparent reference to Jews — in a video uploaded by the center to Facebook. The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations is investigating the April 17 program at the Muslim American Society’s chapter in the city, The Associated Press reported. The Middle East Media Research Institute on Friday. The children in the program, from young kids to early teens, are wearing Palestinian scarves. They sing in one of the lyrics, as translated by MEMRI: “We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will lead the army of Allah fulfilling His promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture.” The lyrics refer to , known to Jews as the Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

AP reported, however, that a school called Muslim American Society Leaders Academy operates at the building. The Al-Hidaya mosque, which also meets in the Muslim American Society’s building, asked the society to hold a “workshop on diversity and religious tolerance” to help “members of the immigrant Muslim community have a better understanding of Jewish sensitivities and anti-Semitism, so that events like this don’t repeat themselves.” The school told AP that it dismissed the person in charge of the program, the Muslim American Society’s executive director, Ayman Hammous.
