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

A radical Philadelphia mosque facing a scandal involving a child bride is only the most recent controversy, as there has been multiple investigations into underage marriages taking place in the area for years.

Reports claim that the mosque forced a 14-year-old girl to marry a man at least twice her age, who has since begun abusing her 10-year-old sister.

The Masjid Uthman Dan Fodiyo mosque is now being investigated by police after the girl, who is now 17-years-old, shared a video online describing her ordeal at the hands of Rajmann Sanders.

The mosque is known to also be in connection with other extremist mosques and organizations.

“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.

The man in question, Sanders, was charged with multiple offenses including rape, indecent assault, and forcible compulsion. Not to mention, Sanders is also being accused of threatening to shoot a girl after he assaulted her.

Sanders is currently behind bars and his victims are in protective custody.

Sources claim that the imam of the mosque was directly involved in both scheduling and officiating these marriages for many years.

And after this story broke, many other Muslims from the community have begun to share their stories with those outside of the Philadelphia area.

‘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.
