Khataiyi funded Mosque in a low income neighborhood
The Khataiyi government has followed in the steps of many other Islamic nations such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Saddam era-Iraq and many more in launching a new initiative to build mosques in western countries and countries with non-Islamic majorities and has specifically chosen lower income communities to reach out to, to provide welfare services and charity to encourage conversion to Islam. Some critical of the move have accused President Khairallah's initiative as a form of cultural imperialism and an infiltration attempt of western society. Some tabloids and fringe activists have also accused the mosques of encouraging terrorism. Others such as some Shia and Sufi communities have accused the Mosques of being sectarian and encouraging Sunni Islam and Sunni domination. Even fellow Sunni Islamic communities composed of non-Arabs have accused the Mosque's of espousing Arab centric beliefs that turns away non-Arab ethnicities, critics have called it a hidden attempt to Arabize Islamic communities.
At one of the Mosques
An Imam funded by Khataiy video taped during a sermon
"My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, we must remain patient and upon the path of monotheism. This is why we reject saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, this is why it is not permissible for us to shake hands with the opposite gender, and this is why no matter what the world tells us we continue to remain firm in our beliefs out of our love the Prophet, may the peace and blessings of God be upon him. Would you believe that today we have Mosques and so called Imams openly supporting homosexuality? Just in this very town there are so called 'Islamic centers' and 'Mosques' that speak nothing but falsehood, they are run by the Shias and the deviant Sufi orders, these are the same 'Sheikhs' that tell their congregations to vote for x politician even if they are a woman and support marijuana and gay marriage, and when you tell them that Muslims are not allowed to participate in democracy they will go insane about it claiming it is our 'obligation' to support laws that are closer to Islam. But this is extremely wrong, by saying that you support a law to ban alcohol on certain days for example, you still acknowledge that alcohol should be legal, and this is aside the fact no one has the right to rule except Allah and our leaders that Allah has willed to rule over us, and we must obey them especially if they rule Islamically, obviously cases like Syria are different and is clear that it is a genocide, but we cannot say the same in too many other places, we cannot say this about King Salman of Saudi Arabia or President Omar Khairallah of Khataiy, or even the President of the United States he does not rule Islamically but we have no justification in the Islamic Sharia of Allah to meddle or interfere with the political system as it isn't based on Islam."

"This embarrassment is not what us Muslims are about, we are not Wahhabis we are not spies for the Gulf or any nation. We are normal people just like you, as a Muslim I cannot support these mosques preaching hatred, misogyny, and indifference to injustice and as an Arab myself I am quite offended at the racist attitudes of many of these Mosques that are taking advantage of people based on demographics. This isn't Islamic, these are calculated political moves. This is what Trump wants radicals who are detached from reality that make the rest of us look bad while not questioning his corruption. Khairallah is a murderous dictator, which is something the Islamic world is plagued with so many of, and his campaign is degrading and wrong and Muslims and non-Muslims alike should oppose it. The last thing us Muslims need is further division and sectarianism, and we need less misogyny, this is something else the Islamic world is plagued with and need less of. The passive culture that exists from the teachings of this cult sect are not Islamic and have no origins in Islam but are outdated backwards Arab practices best forgotten in the past. If the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, were alive today he would punch these people in the face like the Nazis that they are."

Our mission is for nothing more than to bring satisfaction to impoverished and violent areas in the western hemisphere and help Muslims living outside Islamic nations fulfill their religious needs and show the true and honest face of our beautiful Islamic religion in nations where Islam is foreign and promote dialogue and shared understandings, we have no intentions of encouraging violence or anything else of the such. It is unfortunate and regrettable some feel this way, we also hope to introduce our faith to those who lack or those who are interested in our way of life and our beliefs, we seek to help those who wish to learn and embrace aspects of our way life do so by providing the means to get new experiences. We do not seek to force anything on anyone and individuals are free to come and go as they please and our Mosques are open to Muslims and non-Muslim alike.
Signed,
President Omar Khairallah
