Mosque In Major American City Under Investigation For Performing Child Marriages…

The scandal involving a child bride at a radical Philadelphia mosque is just the tip of the iceberg, according to Clarion Intelligence Network sources aware of the investigations into the underage marriages that have taken place for years in the area.

According to reports, the mosque forced a 14-year-old girl to marry a man more than twice her age who then began abusing her 10-year-old sister, it is claimed.



Police are investigating the Masjid Uthman Dan Fodiyo place of worship in Philadelphia which is connected to other extremist mosques and organizations, after the girl, who is now 17, shared a Facebook video detailing her alleged ordeal at the hands of Rajmann Sanders. She also reported that she was a “virgin” and her marriage to the man did not last.

“At the time I was a virgin. It was going to be my first marriage of course,” she said.

“The 10-year-old was not handled correctly and everything was swept under the rug. Not only was it wrong, it was wrong to me because at the time I was still his wife,” she continued.

Sanders was charged with rape, indecent assault, and forcible compulsion, among other charges. He is even accused of threatening to shoot one girl after assaulting her.

Even though he is behind bars, the victims have been placed in protective custody. The girl’s marriage to Sanders was her second marriage, as the first one didn’t work out.

The imam of the mosque was directly involved in scheduling and officiating the marriages for years, the sources say.

More and more Muslims from the community are sharing their stories with other Muslims outside of the Philadelphia area after the above story broke.

‘Opposing Views’ cited another victim of this Muslim’s sick tradition:

Another victim then came forward and told them that she was also illegally married at the said mosque, located at the 4800 blocks of Paschall.

“This is not healthy for me or my kids. No one should want their kids around this, especially with the pedophilia, that should be enough to say no I don’t want my kids around this,” the victim said. She also wants the children in the nearby areas to know about the incident so that it will not happen again.

Sanders’s public defender is unreachable at the moment but it is confirmed that the suspect remains behind bars.

Investigations on the said mosque are also ongoing as of now, but all the victims are in safe hands and are currently at the Department of Human Services for protective custody.
