WV Mosques

Rated Extremely Dangerous! Islamic Association of West Virginia, Charleston, WV: A Risk/Threat Assessment Report in A Sworn Affidavit by Counter-terrorism Expert David Gaubatz [Updated]

Over the years, all across America, many have become increasingly concerned about the level of radicalism within the Islamic community. And since mosques are the epicenter and cornerstone of communal life for many Muslims, there is an urgent need for a professional evaluation of what its teachings are, most especially, as it relates to the non-Muslim community. Effectively, what are the dangers, if any.

On June 5, 2020, at the request of concerned citizens in West Virginia, Dave Gaubatz conducted firsthand research at the Islamic Center of West Virginia (IAWV) in the Charleston, West Virginia area. The findings, analyses, and recommendations are below. This report will become a sworn affidavit in which Dave will be available to discuss it with members of the public, law enforcement, politicians, media, or in any U.S. court hearing. Please share it.

It must be noted that the Islamic ideology is “extremely” dangerous and Dave Gaubatz evaluated the mosque to determine the level that the ideology is actually promoted. There is an overwhelming abundance of data that comes from credible sources revealing the dangers of the Islamic ideology itself.

According to a report regarding the history of Muslims in West Virginia, which is on the IAWV website entitled “Muslims in West Virginia” (pg. 6), due to the growth of Muslims in West Virginia from particularly the Middle East (Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Morocco, etc.) and South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran, Afghanistan, etc.), the IAWV was expanded when the following cities established their own centers as chapters of IAWV in: Beckley, Princeton/Bluefield, Morgantown, and Huntington.

#1: Islamic Association of West Virginia (IAWV), 1 Valley Drive, South Charleston, WV 25303

RATING: This mosque is rated “Extremely Dangerous.” This is the highest rating I can give a mosque. On a scale of 1 – 10, with 10 being the most dangerous, I give the IAWV a scoring of 10. There are various reasons for this high rating. I base my rating on over 40 years of working, living and studying Islamic-based countries and the Islamic ideology itself.

I can’t emphasize enough how dangerous this particular mosque is, and it is based largely on the Islamic leadership within the mosque and the Sharia compliance of worshippers. In current times I equate this mosque in line with the ANTIFA organization and its ideology. There is no peace within ANTIFA, and there is no peace, loving, caring, and assimilation being carried out within the walls of the IAWV.

For full findings, analyses, and recommendations, read the the final sworn and notarized Affidavit on IAWV below, which forms the basis of its “Extremely Dangerous” rating.
