The story and the fate of Imam M. Qatanani

Testimonials in support of the Imam and his family

“I’ve seen with my own eyes a gentleman who’s had a tremendous positive influence in the community… But he’s done nothing but good since he’s been in the US and many of us are ready to stand up and go to the court to testify about him if need be.”

                                    Bill Pascrell, US Congressman of NJ

“Fostering dialogue, understanding and trust between Muslims, Christians and Jews is critical for our nation and the world.  In this cause here in New Jersey Dr. Mohamad Qatanani, the Imam of the Islamic Center of Passaic County, has been a tireless champion.  Now our federal government is seeking to deport him along with his wife and six children.  With the billions our government spends now on homeland security, how could they get it so wrong?.”

                        Father Bill Potter

                        Priest of St. Luke Episcopalian Church at Hope, NJ

“The Christian-Muslim Project was stalled for years, until Imam Qatanani came and the Project started to shape up and became effective. We cannot afford to lose a moderate leader such as Imam Qatanani”

                        Father Phil LaTronico,

                        Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark

                        Chair of the North Jersey 

                        Christian-Muslim Project

“Imam Qatanani was so influential person in the planning and implementation of the Children of Abraham: Journey to God of July 2003.”
